Few years back i went to Vegas with some buddies, and instead of wasting my money in the casino i rented a bike for a few days. Some great riding out to Red Rock Canyon, around Lake Mead, over to Hoover Dam, etc.

Road a great loop from Vegas over the Hover Dam and down through Kingman to Oatman back up through Laughlin to Vegas. A couple of years ago Hog Tails did a story on a ride around the Grand Canyon that sounded great.

If you are going to be here on Saturday, 2/21/09 you should go on the Bordello run. We start out in Las Vegas then head out to 4 different bordellos.
With the last stop being a huge barbque.
You can make the ride an overnighter if you can afford it.

This up coming week will be a great time to go through Death Valley. Nice and cool.

If you have the time try the Mt. Charleston loop. I did it last year and really enjoyed it.
Not too far out of Vegas, nice views and good food at the cafe.
