Utah...
Navajo, Panguitch, Minersville, etc (I have done great on all of those flyfishing from a boat.) Shore based... Navajo would be the best bet and it is the closer of the three from Vegas. (The water levels were way down last year and I never went up there, doubting it is any better this year but TBD on the snow pack). Minersville right after ice off would be second. Panguitch is a bear from shore. I have caught them from shore with a flyrod but one really needs to be able to get out there a little further than what one can do from land/waders. All three are very float tube friendly lakes.
If one is set on Southern'ish Nevada then the Wayne E. Kirch Wildlife Management Area. I've done ok off the Hay Meadow Dam area.
IMO I'd make the drive to any of the Utah Reservoirs I mentioned over Kirch everytime.
