I am leaving Houston for Las Vegas Oct. 20 (after voting early!). From there I have 14 days until I need to be in Omaha (where I will be seeing NEIL YOUNG Nov 5, so this leaves no room for procrastinating.) I am going by Greyhound, and will get to Vegas at night on the 21. My question is, if I spend let's say 4 days in Vegas, (whittling time until Neil Young to 9 days including travel time,) how to best fill the time. I would love to visit both Salt Lake City and Denver, but have the notion that if I try both I will enjoy neither because I will just be rushed.

So, 9 days- Las Vegas to Omaha. How would you try to manage the time, OR, which city would you visit thoroughly, Salt Lake City or Denver? Or another? I am currently leaning towards SLC at this point for various reasons, but not strongly. Another bit of information, I've been to Vegas before and so it is not dire that I stay 4 days again.
