When I lived in Vegas many years ago, I followed a buddy of mine to a pretty scary road east of the 95 somewhere between Laughlin and Boulder City. I just remember exiting the 95 heading east on a long straight road then his taillights were gone.

It was my first "canyon run", it was pitch black outside, and scary as hell! It was basically a series of tight switchbacks then the road just ended to an overlook of the river. It was a blast!

sounds like a blast to drive... during the day

Make sure you see the Hoover Dam, the road going down and coming out is fun but be prepared to get pulled over if you're speeding. I know, I know that takes the fun out of it but don't say I didn't warn you

Look into Oatman, it is a old mining town around the area you are looking. Took my subie up there a few times when i was visiting my grandparents it is a good drive lots of switchbacks. I believe the good route is coming through kingman and heading up that way, the other way involves going through Laughlin which is quite boring if i remember correctly. Just zoom in on the link below and you will see plenty of curvy goodness.
