Go to the North Vegas executive airport, very friendly. Hire a plane with an instructor who will tell you where to go so you can enjoy the views and not sweat about nav (self-hire anyway in US getting harder). Some great land-aways nearby for lunch. Forget name of airfield, but about 1 hours flying from Vegas you can see the original london bridge brought by a rich American and assembled is US.
Flying over the Canyon in a PA-28 away from all the tourist chopers etc ranks as one of the best flying experiences ever.
