Hey there! Bootleg Canyon is awesome. I think the local bike shop All-Mountain Cyclery operates a weekend shuttle fall-spring so you can get in more laps. Bootleg is famous for its gnarly DH trails, but there are good all-mountain, XC options, too.
For traditional XC pedaling and miles, check out the Cottonwood Valley Trail system. It is about 15 miles west of Vegas.
When you’re in town, stop by a local bike shop and tell them what kind of riding you’d like to do. Our family always does this and the locals are always very helpful.
If you’re in the market for a new bike in the $3k range – try everything you can! The same size bike from different manufacturers can fit quite differently. I ride a XL Trek Remedy and it feels more like a large. Our son rides a Commencal Meta and loves it. It was the most inexpensive bike in our price range but it came with a Rockshox Lyric and 3-position shock in the rear. We have upgraded the brakes to Shimano XT and the rear derailleur from a SRAM NX to GX. Good luck!
