Hi Charles,
Vegas is a fun place, you'll have a blast! As for the Jaguar, if it's
not too late, check with Hertz. They run their Prestige program in
Vegas, and have all sorts of British cars for rent. Last time I was
there I got an S-type.
As others have stated, the Hoover Dam is a site to behold. I'm not sure
what the status of tours is right now, with the heightened state of
alert and all. I know for a while the highway going over the top of it
was shut down, that may still be the case.
Also mentioned was the Imperial Palace on the Strip. They do have a
very impressive car collection. If you like chocolate, the Ethel M
factory is pretty interesting.
If you can take a whole day, the Grand Canyon isn't that far away
either. But as for natural scenery, there just isn't a whole lot to
look at around the immediate Las Vegas area.
Take care!

Subject: OT: Trip to Las Vegas... anything I hsould see?
Dear list folks:
Although it is off topic, I need a bit of advice. I am traveling to the
Las Vegas area next week, and I wonder if any list members have any
advice on places to drive to or visit outside of the city. (i.e., the
desert)
Although the usual car rental companies did not have any british cars
for rent (jaguars?), I was able to reserve a camaro convertible. So I
still get the wind in the hair experience. If anyone has any advice
about good scenic drives not too far from the strip, I'd like to hear
about it. And it'll keep me from losing too much at the blackjack
tables.
Regards,
Charles
