As an out-of-towner, the San Francisco Bowl has a lot of appeal -- there's a chance to see both Stanford basketball teams a couple of time around the date of the bowl game.
I lived in Las Vegas for four years and can verify that going there during the holiday season is the worst vacation idea anyone can make unless you enjoy overcrowded casinos and a complete lack of service. Traffic is also terrible.
I will be happy to see the team play in the Sun Bowl only because I will already be there for the holidays. :)
If I had a dollar every time I was distracted, I wish I had some ice cream.
