To help narrow down your options, we’ve gathered 4 of the best boat rides around Las Vegas for you to choose from.

1). Black Canyon River Adventure

Feeling adventurous? Make sure you stop by Lake Mead to experience the desert beauty of Black Canyon. When you book a Black Canyon River Tour, you’ll depart Lake Mead on a slow-moving, motorized raft and float down the Black Canyon National Water Trail, where you’ll stop along the shore below Hoover Dam to enjoy the cool, clear and calm waters.

2). Gondola Ride

Embark on a short gondola ride right in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip at The Venetian hotel. Gracefully float beneath bridges, beside cafes, under balconies, and through the vibrant Venetian streetscape as your singing gondolier sweeps you down the Grand Canal. It’s a romantic ride that will set the mood as you celebrate any occasion.

3). Champagne Brunch Cruise

Sparkling alcohol and delicious food is enough to get anyone’s engines revving. Embrace beautiful Lake Mead while simultaneously cruising, sightseeing and enjoying a traditional American buffet breakfast on a Champagne Brunch Cruise. The 90-minute boat ride includes complimentary champagne for all adult passengers, and is exclusively available on Sunday mornings.
