Place to Take Out-of-Town Visitors Readers' Pick: FORUM SHOPS AT CAESARS3500 Las Vegas Blvd. South Time was Las Vegas residents took pride in Sin City's tacky image. But those days are over, judging by the results in this category. Review-Journal readers are going upscale, planning to show off the spiffy area of shops, eateries and attractions guaranteed to put those cookie-cutter hometown megamalls in their place. Talking statues! High-tech rides! High-style boutiques! High-end prices! Now that's shopper-tainment! A more general choice, the Strip, cruised into second place. Our Pick: RED ROCK CANYON NATIONAL CONSERVATION AREALas Vegas visitors expect glitter and glamour and neon and night life. They usually don't expect spectacular scenery and surprising solitude a mere 15 miles from town -- which is why it's so much fun to introduce them to the glories of Red Rock Canyon, from the colorful hills to the wild horses, burros and bighorn sheep that sometimes wander past, even on the scenic drive. But we locals obviously do a good job of extolling Red Rock's wonders; about a million people visit annually, and it's unlikely the newly instituted $5-per-car entrance fee will dissuade them.
