Rent a mountain bike from All Mountain Cyclery in Boulder City, and go riding at www.BootlegCanyon.org .
...and don't post another person's girlfriend online.

I was in Vegas about a year ago and before I went, I did an inquiry like yours on another bike forum. Several people said that Pro Cyclery was the best bike shop in Vegas so I paid them a visit. I was disappointed. The store was very small and the selection wasn't very good. Their shop has a "virtual tour" : https://www.procyclery.com/virtualtour.htm
The racks look full in the website pictures but were only half filled when I visited. They had some nice stuff, just not a whole lot of it. Good luck.

I've been to 7 different bike shops here (Vegas). I would recommend Las Vegas Cyclery on West Charleston & Cimarron. They seem to have a decent selection and prompt service. Or in the Henderson area, JT's Bicycle shop. But truthfully, as far as I know, Vegas is lacking in a "good" bike shop that offers both competent service and a wide selection.

Try McGhie's at 4035 South Fort Apache. The building is huge and brand new with a great selection.

I'll throw in a nod for McGhie's, but they have transitioned over to Snowboarding. There is still a lot of cycling gear, but not as much as in the spring/summer.

IMHO, Peloton Sports is by far the best shop in Las Vegas in terms of knowledgable staff. The staff are actually the owners and ride a lot themselves. The only downside is they mainly carry Trek.

Do one of the mtn or road tours with Escape Adventures at Las Vegas Cyclery. I did one of their guided mtn bike tours in the red rocks area west of town and it was amazing. You can also rent a road bike to ride on the roads in that area. Bootleg Canyon is an amazing place if you've got good mtn biking skills. Lot's of vertical terrain and some terrain park bits.
