BLM trails are fine, just make sure they are designated for use. There are a lot of tracks out there that are illegal to follow and may not even be blocked or signed "no vehicles".

If you really want to see some rural Nevada, try Wheeler Pass or Rocky Gap in the Spring Mountains, Old Alamo Road or Gass Peak Trail in the Desert National Wildlife refuge, or hit some trails in the Lake Mead National Recreation area near the Anniversary Narrows and Bowl of Fire.

All of these trailheads are an hour or less from Las Vegas and give you a lot of variety and optional additional trails. You'd probably be getting a lot more responses, but there's a big FJ gathering on the Old Mojave Trail between Laughlin, Nevada and Baker, California. Another good one if you have two-three days and camping equip.

tip----bring at least 5 gallons of water, a spare-spare if possible and a compressor for airing your tires back up after deflating.
