Hoover Dam
In 1937 the Bureau of Reclamation started conducting tours through the Hoover Dam and Power Plant. Today close to 1 million people will take part in similar tours per year, while millions more will drive across the dam in buses, SUV's and exotic rental cars. The Hoover Dam is located just 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas on the US Highway 93 right at the Arizona/Nevada Border. Parking for your exotic car rental is available from 8 am to 6 pm while the Tour Center opens at 9 am and closes at 5 pm.

The Extraterrestrial Highway (Nevada's ET-Highway 375)
Are you looking t take your exotic rental car out of this world? Than highway 375 is your tourist destination. Nevada's ET Highway is the only highway on earth dedicated to outer worldly travelers. The Extraterrestrial Highway sign can be seen at the junction of 318 and 375 welcoming visitors to this alien themed stretch of pavement. On Nevada's ET-Highway you'll find the Little A'Le'Inn and the mysterious, unmarked service road to AREA 51 (the secret military facility rumored to study extraterrestrial visitors!). This tour probably isn't going to entertain your young ones, but for those who are crazy for sci-fi, or even for those who just want to get out and take a drive, the ET-Highway 375 is a great twist for a Sunday cruise!

Death Valley National Park is filled with historic sites, and unique natural areas while the Grand Canyon National Park encompasses 277 miles of the Colorado river and its adjacent uplands. Valley of Fire State Park is Nevada's oldest and largest state park, and derives its name from the red sandstone formations found within its boundaries. Other state and national parks in and around the Las Vegas area include Great Basin National Park, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, and the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
