Small Group / Private Ghost Town Gold Mine and Hoover Dam Tour

This is a truly unique boutique small-group experience, thoughtfully designed for travelers who value quality, comfort, and meaningful exploration. With a carefully curated route and a relaxed pace, this journey allows you to experience Southern Nevada beyond the typical sightseeing tour.

You’ll begin your adventure in Eldorado Canyon, home to Nelson Ghost Town, one of the most fascinating and lawless Wild West mining towns of the late 1800s. Once a remote desert outpost during the gold rush era, the town still carries the raw character and stories of the Old West—making it a compelling destination for exploration and photography.

You’ll enjoy an official guided tour of the Techatticup Mine, Nevada’s oldest and richest gold mine. During this approximately one-hour underground experience, you’ll walk through original mining tunnels and see historic tools and artifacts, gaining a deeper understanding of the hardships and ambitions of early prospectors.

As you explore Nelson Ghost Town, you’ll find carefully preserved buildings, unique desert landscapes, and movie props left behind from multiple motion picture productions. With a small group setting, you’ll have the time and space to explore at your own pace and capture memorable photos without feeling rushed.

The experience continues with scenic viewpoints of the Hoover Dam, one of the greatest engineering achievements in American history. You’ll have ample time to take in the views, learn about its significance, and capture iconic photos.

Designed as a boutique small-group experience, this tour offers a more personal and flexible approach compared to large bus tours. It’s ideal if you’re looking for a customized, immersive journey that combines history, scenery, and comfort—while enjoying the attention and care that come with traveling in a small group. You can expect a refined, well-paced experience that leaves you with lasting memories of the Nevada desert.
