The Pat Tillman bridge is definitely worth a look especially if you've been to Vegas a few times already and are looking for a day trip.
I took this pic of the completed construction in December...
The Valley of Fire just outside of Vegas is also kinda neat, I imagine it would look incredible under good lighting conditions. It's basically a park with all kinds of cool looking formations shaped during the age of the dinosaurs. There's also petroglyphs in the stone that are allegedly over 3,000 years old.
