Sorry about 4poundonly. He has a way with words... or doesn't, I guess. He doesn't have kids, either, so he doesn't understand. Seems I have to apologize for him often.
We all welcome you here, and there are plenty of people full of good information willing to help.
The Boulder Beach area of Lake Mead is an easy-access spot. You can drive right down to the water's edge, even in a small car, and there is a small fishing pier. Stripers, catfish and carp are all options in this area. You may find small bluegill in the deeper weed-beds off the end of the pier, too. To get there, drive through Boulder City to get to the lake, and once you pass the toll booth, take your first right towards Hemminway Marina. Signs will take you left before you get to the launch ramp, taking you towards PWC Beach and Sailboat Beach. The fishing pier is the first area.

Boulder Harbor to the West a couple miles is open again, but I haven't been back to check it out. There used to be a fishing pier there too.
Kingman Wash can be awesome, and it has a 3 mile bumpy dirt road to get there, but you can do it without 4x4.

The urban ponds hold good numbers of bluegill if you need to catch a fish, but the lake will do you good if you spend enough time at it.
Other than here, Sand Hollow in Utah is about 2.5 hrs from Vegas, and can have stellar bluegill and bass fishing. Those big bluegill hang out in 12-25' of water around the sunken trees. You can usually see the tops of 'em.
Good luck, take pictures, and let us know how you do!
