I go back and forth to Alaska all the time, sometimes through Portland but most of the time through Seattle, then Anchorage, always on AK Air.
Do you ride bikes? Rent a bike instead of a car. Cruising the desert on a nice bike is really awesome! Ck out Eagle Rider . com and get you a nice Electra Glide (hard saddle bags -ice and water bottle, and trunk good for 10+ lbs of stuff), you and the wife can ride comfortable.
Ride out to the Dam, then along the lake Northerly to the Valley of Fire, and finally cruise through Red Rock as you start coming back towards Vegas....a really nice day ride, 225-250 miles roughly.
