The Hoover Dam changed the face of the West, bringing electricity to thousands of homes, which had previously relied on the glow of expectant mothers to light up their Christmas trees. Learn illuminating history with today's Groupon: for $52 you get a Hoover Dam deluxe-motor-coach tour and a ticket to Nathan Burton Comedy of Magic from GC Flight (up to a $114 value). Tours leave from Las Vegas everyday at 9 a.m. A $10 fuel charge is not included with this Groupon and is collected on the date of your tour.

GC Flight parades tourists through the Hoover Dam for a one-of-a-kind view. Sightseers are escorted from one of many major hotels into an air-conditioned class-A motor coach, which sets its course for multiple stops during the total seven–eight-hour tour, including the iconic Welcome to Las Vegas sign. Soar 900 feet above the Colorado River on the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, the longest arched-concrete bridge in the Western Hemisphere, before venturing into the dam itself. A knowledgeable guide narrates the tales of the Hoover Dam, spouting off facts about its visionary architects and the beaver demigods they worshipped. Complimentary Hoover Dam Discovery and Government Interior tours explore the dam's breathtaking views and 1960s espionage work against the armies of Atlantis.

After snacking on free samples from the Ethel M Chocolate Factory and wandering the botanical gardens, guests double over as America's Got Talent's Nathan Burton delivers a riotous comedy-and-magic set at the Flamingo Hotel.
