" Las Vegas area American Indian Experiences?

Having never been to the area I was wondering if there might be some type of unique "American Indian" exp. that my wife and I might travel to while in Las Vegas.
We'll be there for our annivesary and my wife has a special place in her heart for The American Indian. Authentic meals? day trips? anthing like that? Thanks !!

Some of the nearby state parks (Red Rock Canyon, probably others) have ancient heiroglyph sites (misspelled, but you know what I mean) that you can look at.

And there are LV bus companies that offer American Indian-themed day trips. But I don't know much about them.

I thought it's the Valley of Fire with the hieroglyphs?

But I saw them at Red Rock Canyon.

Also near the Valley of Fire is the Moapa Indian Reservation. In Overton, which is all right there together with Moapa they have a small museum, Lost City Museum, with Pueblo Indian artifacts in there and some info on the Anasazi's.
