I booked a Hoover Dam Kayaking tour in late September ($237 for 2 people).  This included pick up from the hotel, a McDonalds breakfast, an Arbys sandwhich, and transportation back to the hotel.\n\nOur tour guide, Alex, arrived at 6am on the dot as promised in front of our hotel (MGM Grand).  He was very friendly and efficiently made his way to the other hotels to pick up our other kayakers. \n\nFrom there, we stopped at McDonalds where we ordered what we wanted and was paid for by the tour guide.  We ate the Mickey D's on the way there.  Once we got to our destination, the Hoover Dam, we drove down right to the base of it and got our Kayaks loaded into the water. \n\nWe pretty much paddled down 11 miles with about 4 or 5 stops in between to check out the sites, take a break, and have lunch.  The experience was made by the friendliness and knowledge of our tour guide Alex, who was always there to help and guide.  We hung out at a couple of hot springs and Alex had our lunch packed in his Kayak with some ice.\n\nI would recommend bringing water shoes on an excursion like this - you are getting in and out of the kayak a lot and stepping into the water as you get out.  \n\nAt the end of the trip, Alex loaded all of the Kayaks back on to the truck himself while we relaxed and he drove us back to our hotels.  He never once solicited a tip like I have been when I booked with another company.  Overall, I will definitely use this company again next time I am in Vegas and recommend it to others.  At the end of the day, as friendly as the guide was, he realized this was a business and his first priority was the customer and he never forgot that.
