NV 160 just beyond the Red Rock Canyon.
If Las Vegas is a bit much for you, with the lights, people, traffic, urbanity... then perhaps a drive into the mountains and off to the desert are for you. NV 160 is a traffic nightmare of sorts around the Interstate 15 junction south of Vegas, but beyond the initial pileups lies a truly scenic set of curls through protected territory.
Nevada State Highways 159 and 160
From Las Vegas, Nevada 160 West is accessed via exit 33 off of I-15. NV 160 is signed Blue Diamond Road -- as it passes Blue Diamond Hill and Blue Diamond Mine -- up to the NV 159 North junction, where 159 takes over as Blue Diamond and 160 twists through the mountains en route to Pahrump.
