    About halfway to Hoover Dam, there is a casino on the left with a helicopter charter just past it. If you catch them on a windy day, a chopper ride through the canyons is a wild ride. I highly recommend it.

    Aaah Vegas; casino blonds, atom bombs and sandy pussy. Ya can't beat the place; full of tempting diversions, and the rat hole of the Universe. Spend your time in Tonopah, much more productive for guns and glass (GG). Have fun eddie.

    I've spent about 7 years of my life in LV. I hate that place. It is, however, within driving distance from some great shoots. Hoover Dam, Rhyolite, Valley of Fire, etc.

    If you have time on your way to Tonopah, take a left at the stop sign in Beatty and visit Rhyolite. It's only a couple of miles. The bottle house and the old train station are fenced but there are some other ruins and some artwork by a local there. Check out the "ghosts".
    Yeah. I'm familiar with Photoshop. It's the place I buy my film.

    Vegas is the worst, bottom of the barrel, morally decrepit city in the perfect location. Too bad, but on the other hand if it was a normal city the only people that would live there would be landscape photographers, if anyone lived there at all.
