Places to go around Las Vegas

We will be in Las Vegas in February. We rented a Cessna 172 last year and
did the Hoover Dam, Lad mead, Grand Cayon thing. Where do we go this
year? Are there any good $100 (or more) hamburger destinations nearby or
other sights we should see?

A scant hour north is the Virgin River and St. George, Utah. Marvelous
scenery above and at ground level. Rental cars are cheap. Food is down town
and until you see the airport you won't really know the definition of "down
town." Check the web for latest gas prices. Last time I was there,
self-serve was two-bits a gallon cheaper than Las Vegas.
The view over the Virgin River Gorge is magnificent. Fifteen minutes
north and you are over Zion Canyon, more eye candy. Bryce is not far away,
gorgeous.
Should that sound like a Chamber of Commerce spiel, I'm based at
Inyokern(IYK) in California.
