In the Red Rock National Conservation Area, in southern Nevada just outside Las Vegas:

Not most people's idea of the ambience around Vegas!

Thanks! Yeah, it's like the canyon country of southern Utah. The sandstone is even correlative with the Navajo Sandstone of Zion and Glen Canyon, altho for historical reasons it has a different name here. The area used to be little known, but with Vegas having turned into a giant metropolis it now gets a lot of usage. Lots of regs that didn't used to be!
