As the title suggests, in a few months I will be heading to Las Vegas for some shows at the Sphere and would be interested to hear any tips for railfanning the area. I anticipate having access to a vehicle. Thank you.

You have to check out the Nevada State Railway Museum in Boulder City, it is small but lots of history there
Best,

Paul, there are 2 Railroad museums in Nevada. The one that Bryce mentions in Boulder, and another one in Carson City. I believe, but am not certain, Carson City is closer to Vegas.
Northern Nevada Railroad museum is in Ely, about a 4 hour drive.
Boulder is about 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic.
Carson City is about a 7 hour drive. Virginia City is close by.
Just depends on the amount of time you have.

Thank you Bryce, Mark and Bob for the input. I'm trying to stay within an hour drive of LV.
Boulder sounds like a likely stop for the museum. Anyone have thoughts for active spots with photography opportunities in mind around Vegas? Someone mentioned APEX to me - I believe that is a little North of the city.
