We installed a hot tub a couple of years ago. I think it was actually 240v and required a pretty heavy gauge of wire and a special breaker outside. I spent over $500 for that hookup. It was done by professionals and they did a superb job. These days you may be able to get a better deal.
My whole electric installation -- including an extra 110V outlet, a single 220V outlet, weather-proof boxes for both outlets, GFI, and a shut-off at the circuit box (so I could unplug everything without any current running) -- was about $850. This included installation by a licensed local electrician who primarily works with commercial setups and was super careful with this particular installation (because we'd had him do previous work when he was still doing residential work).
Expensive -- but SP is right above: there's no way in hell I'll go back to propane. Electric is cheap, easy, and convenient.
