I saw Hoover Dam, Death Valley, Monument Valley, The Grand Canyon, and Bryce Canyon all on one trip to Vegas. Granted, I wanted more time in each place, but there is sooooooo much to do besides gamble and drink and walk the strip once you get to Vegas and I would venture 95% of visitors never get out of gamble/drink/repeat mode when there. Impressed some other guys here figured it out. Vegas is a great base for a vacation - always cheap flights from anywhere in US and always cheap rooms and eats. From there, it is just what cool place do you want to see next as a day trip, an overnight, or a couple day trip.
Both awesome places as well!
It's amazing that there is SOO much more to do, even without leaving Vegas. Golfing (if you're in to that), dining, shows, rides, collectible stores, pools, aquariums, you name it! Not to mention there is Freemont Street with other casinos and a zip line...
