I lived in Vegas for about 7 months back when National Airlines was operating (not the original National, but the one that flew all 757's). I can recommend Valley of Fire for sure! The outlet mall at the south end of the strip, past McCarran, is pretty good. I still go there when I need to restock the work clothing lol. Also in other news, I hear Bill's Gaming Hall closed (used to be Barbary Coast). Some other swanky joint is going in there now.
