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.

Good Plan

Good experience for visiting the closest places to Las Vegas. This operator takes few people so it could be said it is more exclusive, very friendly and a good driver.

Must include this in your Las Vegas trip!

Exceptional tour! Anthony was an awesome guide!! Only negative thing was that our vehicle broke down. Luckily, it broke down before we got out of cell range in Red Rock Canyon.

Waste of time and money

This is the first time we have ever had a bad experience taking a tour. First off the van’s AC could not cool the space. Luis, although well intentioned, did not provide much in the way of ‘guide’ narration. The red rocks were spectacular and the Hoover Dam was amazing but all the other stops were a waste of time. Nelson’s? Why even bother? It’s a junk yard not a ghost town. There’s no tour, in fact it was pretty obvious the owners don’t even want you visiting. The fact that this is a 7 hour tour with no planned stop for lunch - included or not - is absurd. Stopping at a gas station at 9:30 in the morning is not a lunch stop. Overall this was a complete waste of money. Very disappointed and will be far more careful booking tour in the future.

Operator response

We’re sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. The van’s air-conditioning system was newly installed, but Las Vegas temperatures were extremely high that day, and we apologize that it did not keep the rear of the vehicle comfortable enough. Nelson is a historic mining town and one of the most popular photography stops on this itinerary, although we understand that it may not appeal to everyone. As stated in the tour description, lunch is not included; however, we agree that the refreshment stop and meal expectations should have been communicated more clearly. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the limited narration and will address it directly with our guide. We’re glad you enjoyed Red Rock Canyon and Hoover Dam, and we sincerely regret that the overall experience left you disappointed.

Mixed Review

Good communication - I received a text the day before with a meeting time that was an hour earlier than when we were expecting it to start. I pushed back a bit and we settled on 1/2 hour early. Luis was our driver. He was on time at our hotel for pick up and we were in a 14ish person van for our group of 10 and then one extra person not with our party. Luis wore a headset for certain parts of the tour and provided interesting information about the areas/stops. He also took some gorgeous group photos for us. There was bottled water in the van for us and we made a stop at a gas station to get other refreshments after about 90 minutes. The van that our driver was assigned was terrible. The air conditioning hardly worked. Everyone was suffering in the back. We had multiple engineers in the car who said the vehicle seemed to have transmission, suspension and electrical issues (and over 225K miles on it). When we reached the speed limit it felt like the van was sliding all over the road and the tires had issues. We had multiple people get car sick (and that was with motion sickness patches on). There were 5 stops on the tour. 2 could be eliminated in our opinion. Red Rocks was great - very beautiful, we did 3 stops and we got out of the van at each to look around and take pictures. Magic Mountain was quick but unique. The Hoover Dam was very historical and scenic. I would just shorten the tours to these three stops if I was the provider. The stop at Nelson’s Ghost Town is far out of the way (40-ish minutes) and there is nothing to see there. If it would have been a private tour, I would have asked to skip it. It is literally a junk collection in the middle of the desert. The people working in the “store” were not particularly friendly and didn’t seem to care if we were there or not. All 10 of us and the other woman with us asked if we could leave the stop early because it was very odd. The last stop after the Hoover Dam was Boulder City at a hotel with a little museum inside. The timing of this stop (at the very end), as well as the distance from the Hoover Dam and the amount of time spent there (15 minutes or so) made this less than ideal. I would have preferred to spend more time at the Dam looking at some of the historical info onsite there. Boulder City had a cute downtown, but there was not time to visit anything other than the hotel. If this continues to be a stop, they should lengthen it and give people time to eat/walk around. Overall, we enjoyed most of the sites we saw and Luis was fine, but I would reconsider this tour mainly due to the lack of a quality of the vehicle and the 2 stops we did not enjoy. As mentioned, we did see some beautiful sites and got some great photos though!

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed many of the beautiful locations and that Luis was punctual, informative, helpful, and took some great group photos for you. We’re sorry the temperature inside the van affected your comfort. We would like to clarify that a brand-new A/C system was installed in this van approximately one month ago. Unfortunately, the day of your tour was exceptionally hot, with temperatures reaching around 130°F in some desert areas, which made it extremely difficult for the A/C to keep the entire vehicle as cool as usual. Regarding the concerns about the vehicle, the van does not have transmission or suspension issues. Safety and maintenance are extremely important to us, and all four tires were replaced with brand-new tires just two days before your tour. We also appreciate your feedback regarding Nelson Ghost Town and Boulder City. While many guests enjoy these stops, we understand that every guest has different preferences, and your comments about spending additional time at Hoover Dam are valuable to us. Thank you again for recognizing Luis’s efforts, the beautiful scenery, and the great photos. We appreciate your constructive feedback and will continue working to provide the best possible experience for our guests. MarVit Tours Team
