Casinos and canyons

In the why-didn't-we-think-of-that department: A new Las Vegas resort combines all the glitz and glamour of the Strip with....rugged adventures. Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa is 10 miles from the city near the entrance to Red Rock Canyon, a scenic national conservation area. The resort has the traditional spa where you can be pampered, the traditional over-the-top decor, dining and nightlight, and then it has an Adventure Spa that offers guided horseback riding, hiking, climbing and mountain biking (at Vegas-appropriate prices - a sunset horseback ride is $119).
