If you're willing to stay several hours away, that opens up several
possibilities. In addition to those mentioned elsewhere on this
thread, you could choose St. George, UT. It's not a very interesting
city in and of itself, but it's only about 90 minutes from North Las
Vegas. It's less than an hour to Zion National Park, 45 minutes from
Cedar City, an hour or so from the Kolob Canyons scenic drive portion
of Zion National Park, 1 1/2 hours from Bryce Canyon National Park and
45 minutes or so from Nevada's Valley of Fire State Park.
In addition to the previously mentioned "Stateline" [Primm, NV], you
also have Jean, NV. Nothing four star there, but possibly something
very cheap and just 25 minutes or so from the south Strip.
I suppose Pahrump, NV would also be within an hour. That would put you
in Nye County, land of legalized brothels. Also, you'd be within an
hour or so of Death Valley National Park.
Beatty, NV is also less than two hours away from Las Vegas. It's got
good proximity to Death Valley, and also extreme proximity to Rhyolite
ghost town.
