You are missing out!
If you are looking for something really close, check out Red Rock Canyon. Its where I hike all the time. Beautiful sandstone mountains and very colorful and unique.
If you have a couple days, definitely check out some of the sights up in Utah.. Zion, Bryce.

Beat me to it. I was just in Red Rock yesterday and we are going back to hike Friday. Looks awesome dusted with snow. It's only 35 or so depending on the traffic.
South Rim Grand Canyon is about 3.5 hours away. Valley of Fire is about 70 minutes north of Vegas, and pretty cool.
I'm going snow shoeing in Bryce, then head over to Brianhead to ski next month for my birthday. Vegas is a great location.

You guys sure make it sound great. When I think of Vegas the only things that come to my mind are casinos, drugs, and escorts.
These days it seems to be as much about high end food and shopping as anything else.

Yeah they had to ruin it for the rest of us.

I go to the Strip once a month for a show, concert or food. (Although that's not true, we sneak off to Caesar's for their amazing brunch via groupon quite often) The rest of the time I'm either hiking at Mt. Charleston (alpine, bristle-cone pine trees-nothing like you'd imagine Vegas), Red Rocks, Lake Mead or taking car trips to nearby national parks. We also have fantastic local restaurants that are much better value than the Strip. The heat sucks for three months out of the year and the drivers scare me sometimes. But we like it a lot overall.
We have family in town (still) and are driving up to the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead today.

I did get propositioned by a girl that might have been 16 at 3 am once; fortunately I wasn't lonely.
I go to Vegas to eat, drink, and gamble (not necessarily in that order). If I want to do other stuff, I'll go somewhere else. I've been to 1 concert and I've yet to see a show. I may go see Love this trip, but knowing me, probably not. I'll be in the casino or eating steak.

Yea I only go to the strip when I absolutely have to.
I live near Summerlin. Everything I need is out here and Red Rock is only a few minutes away.
Vegas is a great place off the strip.

The last time I seen Axl,Slash and Duff on stage was 93 in Iowa. That's also how long it's been since I last seen a great old friend of mine. Well he lives in Vegas and he got me a ticket for the 8th. Never been to Vegas. This is going to be pretty epic.

For those going to Las Vegas you should call: "World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop" and ask about Battle Toads, ha.
