Heading out to Vegas for work and I have a free day. Any advice on some decent mtb trails around red-rock area? I have seen a few clips and pics online, but it looks a little tame, am I missing something? Going to hire a bike out there too, so appreciate any suggestions.

What he ^^^ said. Very very hot though. You can hire bikes in Boulder City to ride in Bootleg. Have a peek at the Hoover dam while you're there.

As said above - [url= http://www.bootlegcanyon.net/ ]Bootleg Canyon[/url] just outside Boulder City... it's where they hold the Interbike dirt demo days.

some great bits of singletrack and rocky downhils, and yep - very hot, use sunblock... i rode in mid March and managed to burn my lips (no idea)

I hired a Nomad with Domains from [url= http://allmountaincyclery.com/ ]All Mountain Cyclery[/url] - they were even kind enough to swap the brakes (l/h - r/h) for me
