Bootleg Canyon has lots of trails. All Mountain Cyclery rents good mountain bikes and is a one mile pedal from the trail head. I ubered there and back each day when I was out there. It's about a 25 minute drive from the strip. I've heard the Cowboy Trails are also good, and there is a shop nearish to them too I think, but I don't know anything about it.

Dont be a punk ass. Rent a bike for a couple days and bike back and forth between city and bootleg. Or take advantage of the buses!

I do enjoy how rapidly these threads turn into this:

i know - traitor!
hiking upstream in a canyon with walls 2,400' high.
just one of the many choices - don't like the canyon, Angel's Landing
i get a commission for everyone that i send there.
PS. @roc rent the water shoes in town.
PPS - i still regret playing golf out there, when i could have gone on a tour of the damn dam.
PPPS - it is only a 2.5 hour drive.

I like to ride the wave at the Craps table. Just remember - you never walk away from a heater.
The damn dam tour is nice. Makes you proud to be an American, when men were men.
Stock photo, but I have a very similar one somewhere.
I didn't do the damn tour when I was there, but I did ride over and check it out from Bootleg Canyon. There is an old rail trail that goes over there, from the short railroad they built to get stuff to and from the dam when they were building it. It goes through a couple of cool tunnels they blasted out. If you've only got one day, just stick to Bootleg Canyon though.

I considered this being that I go to Vegas for work at least once a year but the guilt factor is way to heavy. I leave behind a working mother with three kids and they would all love to do this. If I took pics of me on a mountain bike, they wouldn't care at all.... Oh dad riding a bike again
I used to go Vegas yearly for a week long conference. (I had to spend my training budget on something.) Not once did I ever think about getting in a bike ride.
