Valley of Fire State Park - the White Domes area is found at the end of a short road which begins at the visitor center. A 1.5 mile nature loop here is one of the highlights of a day's visit to the park.
This photo is taken from the Rainbow Vista parking lot, looking back at the road leading from the Visitor Center.
From the Rainbow Vista parking lot, it's a little under a mile walk to this overlook of Fire Creek Canyon (the full size image is knit together from 2 wide-angle photos).
Another picture from the White Domes trail.
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is just 30-40 minutes west of Las Vegas. The 13-mile scenic drive will take you to a variety of hikes and several overlooks, including the High Point Overlook.
Since both of these areas are near Las Vegas, I couldn't resist including this photo of the dancing waters of the Bellagio, with the half-scale Eiffel Tower of Paris Las Vegas behind it (see full image).
