Skiing in Las Vegas

Yes, Virginia, there is skiing in Las Vegas. Well, okay, maybe not exactly in Las Vegas, but it's only a 1-hour drive from the Las Vegas Strip. That means you can wake up in the morning at your casino hotel, play some slots or video poker after breakfast, then head up 17 miles on Highway 156 to Lee Canyon for an hour where you'll ski in the afternoon, then drive back down the mountain where you can have dinner, catch a Vegas show, play cards, a little roulette, or...whatever.
