MR. VERNON BUCHANAN

You made our trip really special

Ms Catherine Stock

Picked up right on time (downtown Las Vegas) went to main terminal and the tour started from there, 1st stop was a chocolate factory with a couple samples, then on to the Mead Lake cruise which was beautiful and included a nice lunch, then on to the Hoover Dam which was also a lot of fun, started with a short video and then the tour. Then back to Vegas where downtown was the 1st drop off which I thought was great. (My last Gray Line trip (Grand Canyon) I was picked up 1st (downtown) and dropped off last which added about 3 extra hours to my trip which I didn't expect or appreciate.)

What I Liked Most

What I Disliked

Had a lovely afternoon cruise to Hoover Dam through Lake Mead with Lake Mead Cruises. Onboard amenities include drinks and food, with the cheeseburgers being a standout. The service was friendly and attentive, making for a wonderful experience. The pier also has a nice gift shop. Throughout the cruise, there were great views and an informative narrative history provided onboard.

We recently took a 90-minute sightseeing cruise with Lake Mead Cruises in Las Vegas. Boarding was a breeze and we had the option to take a photo before boarding, which we could purchase later for $10. The main deck of the boat is enclosed and air conditioned, perfect for those scorching Nevada days. There's a full bar and snack bar on board where you can buy drinks and food for an additional cost. For a better view, you can also sit outdoors on the upper level. The staff, especially the ladies at the bar and snack bar, were incredibly friendly. One thing to note is that boarding takes place at a marina in a national park, so if you don't have a national park pass, there is a $25 entrance fee that isn't mentioned when purchasing tickets.

The view from Lake Mead Cruises is pretty good, especially if you're looking for some mid-day sightseeing. The cruise gets you pretty close to the dam, which can be a bit redundant if you've just come from the dam tour, but it does offer a different angle. During our visit on a sunny Friday in March, there were only around 20 people on board. The pre-recorded tour audio was informative, but there were some issues with the sound system at the beginning, particularly during the safety instructions. The staff was friendly, the cruise had three levels, and the restrooms were clean. However, some may find the price of $42 per person a bit overpriced for a pre-recorded tour. Overall, it's a nice experience, but may not be worth the cost for everyone.

We took a 90-minute sightseeing cruise at noon. Boarding was easy and quick. You have the option to take a photo prior to boarding and purchase it towards the end of your cruise for $10.

A very nice afternoon cruise to Hoover Dam via Lake Mead. Onboard drinks and food are available. The cheeseburgers were fantastic. Friendly service. A wonderful time! Nice little gift shop at the pier. Great views throughout, with pre-recorded informative narrative history onboard.

• Don’t rely on your phone. It is extremely possible that you will not have mobile service within Lake Mead.
• Make a note of your hiking schedule and leave it with someone who will not be trekking with you and will notice if you do not return at the expected time.

The “Swimmer’s Itch” parasite is thought to be prevalent in Lakes Mead and Mohave, however, it is not a persistent or widespread issue.

The parasite, which may be found in warm, shallow waters for a few weeks to a whole summer, is not considered a life-threatening hazard, although it may lead to a little discomfort.

How to Treat:

• In most situations, putting baking soda solution or over-the-counter anti-itch cream on the area will provide relief.
• If you have an unexplained or extremely severe rash and are worried, please see your doctor.

To be cool, keep yourself drenched in water. That is one of the most beneficial things you can do for yourself. It will aid in lowering the temperature of your core. Make careful to immerse yourself in the water anytime you are around water. Keep an eye out for these health threats:

• Heat Exhaustion
• Hyponatremia

The beautiful weather is one of the many elements of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area that draws people year after year.

Many visitors come only to unwind in the country of the sun. Refugees from states devastated by winter’s cold grip frequently travel to this region to spend the winter.

It is one of the busiest seasons for visitors to Lake Mead. Going camping, and hiking are among the region’s most common leisure activities because of the pleasant and sunny weather and the prospect of springtime blossoms.

As temperatures in the summer hit record highs, Lake Mead became the primary destination for most visitors. Enjoy a range of water sports in challenging and gorgeous surroundings.

When there is a chance of warm and beautiful weather, campsites become busier and are frequently full of guests from all over the world. Reservations are strongly advised. Hiking seasons begin again, with many routes opening throughout summer.

Lake Mead offers an attraction for artists, and campers as well, with the odd snowcapped peak and magnificent wintertime sunsets.

To fish in Lake Mead or Lake Mohave, you must have a valid Nevada or Arizona fishing license. The Colorado River System has many protected fish species.

The Razorback sucker, as well as the Bonytail chub, are two of them that could be spotted in the lakes. If these fish have been captured, they should be released back into the wild. Fishing is prohibited within hatcheries’ designated borders.

Nearby Attractions

Around five hours from Las Vegas, there are a total of 23 national park areas and millions of hectares of canyons, lakes, animals, tracks, and mountains just waiting to be visited.

Castle Mountains are one of the most distinctive features of the Mojave Desert.

The roughly 21,000-acre Castle Mountains, located between the Nevada state border and the Mojave National Preserve, is home to Joshua tree forests, uninterrupted natural landscapes, uncommon desert grasslands, and rich human history.

This fascinating place offers peace and isolation from adjacent metropolitan areas.

Lake Mead Cruises invites you onboard the legendary Desert Princess for a tranquil excursion only minutes from the glitter and splendor of the Las Vegas strip.

The museum occupies a 30-acre property that includes a modern display building with a historical display depicting southern Nevada from pre-historic to present times.
