About this experience
Six iconic desert stops around Las Vegas in one small-group day — spread too far apart to reach without a car, so we bring them together for you. Feel the red cliffs of Red Rock Canyon, snap the towering sculptures at Seven Magic Mountains, step into the Wild West at Nelson (Eldorado) Ghost Town's gold mine, browse historic Boulder City, take in Hoover Dam from the Pat Tillman Bridge, and catch the turquoise of Lake Mead — all at a relaxed pace with round-trip hotel pickup. Please note: lunch and snacks are not included; you'll have a stop in Boulder City to grab food.

Itinerary and highlights
Just minutes from Las Vegas, Red Rock Canyon bursts with vibrant red cliffs, dramatic rock formations, and thrilling hiking trails! Explore this natural wonder and experience the wild beauty of the Mojave Desert up close.
At Seven Magic Mountains, experience one of the most impressive contemporary art installations in Las Vegas. Capture stunning photos with the vibrant, towering sculptures—perfect for unforgettable selfies!
Nelson, originally known as Eldorado, was first named by Spaniards in 1775 after they discovered gold in Eldorado Canyon. A century later, the area became notorious for the Techatticup Mine, where violent disputes over ownership and labor resulted in routine killings. Despite its dark history, the mine produced millions of dollars in gold, silver, copper, and lead before flash flooding made the area uninhabitable. Today, visitors can explore the remnants of this once-thriving boomtown, including weathered buildings, machinery, and the old Texaco station.
Stop at the museum in historic Downtown Boulder City, where you can learn about the fascinating history behind the construction of the Hoover Dam.
Enjoy time at the the Mike O'Callaghan - Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. Take time to walk, capture stunning pictures, and enjoy views of the Hoover Dam, one of the largest man-made structures in the USA.
