I'm new to fishing, but I'm in Vegas, and I've gone just about everywhere.
Pond fishing is tough this time of year. If you go, Lorenzi, Sunset, and Floyd Lamb are the only ponds I've caught from (with considerable amounts of time spent at each). There's only cats in there now, and they're extremely sparse. You can call the Lake Mead Hatchery line for stocking dates but they don't update that line very often.
Honestly it's not really worth your time at the ponds, unless you're just looking to kill time.
I go to Sand Hollow UT or Quail Creek Lake, UT. Both are under a 2 hour drive from Vegas. I haven't left either Lake with less than two largemouth. Even in 100+ temps.
You can also go south.. Government Wash @ Lake Mead is about a 45 minute drive. Haven't had much success out of Lake Mead this season though.
