You should definitely go to Hoover Dam 30 minutes from Las Vegas, it is beautiful and they are now building a suspension bridge that is unbelievable. Red Rock is also less than 30 minutes and beautiful, you might even see wild donkeys, we found it is best to go early morning or early evening. Ethel Ms is great too.
We just got back last weekend. But I actually have not been to the quilt shops there. In fact had planned on going this last trip, I hear there are some great ones, I can give you the list, that I have. I love to shoot craps so spent the three days in the casinos as usual.My 3 hobbies Quilting, Reading and shooting Craps. Good thing we don't live in Vegas and are 4.5 hours away.
Have fun, let me know how the Quilt Shops are, we will be going back in May.
