There are other things to do for day time activities such as :
(1) visiting Hoover Dam
(2) watching USAF planes landing and taking off at Nelllis AFB , the home of teh USAF Thunderbirds.
(3) Driving up to Mt. Charlston , located around 35 miles NW of Vegas. This is a good place to cool off , the top of the drive being at 8500 ft. altitude. Divre north from Vegas on highway # 95 and turn off at highway #157 . For the drive down take the alternate route highway # 156 . The descent offers a spectacular view and the road has few curves which makes the descent a bit exciting
