There's a great one on Fairview: huge, flat clean sand, unlimited
supply of firewood handy.
Unfortunately, you only bivy on Fairview when things don't go
as well as you wanted.

pitch 12 on Zenith, very nice, but only enough room for chip shots with the sand wedge.

Pitch 9 I think on Liberty cap is great for a #3 wood, but the tourist's will not be able to hear you yell FOUR!! because Nevada falls is loud.

I don't know about the best, but one of the coolest I've been on is Eagles Nest Ledge on Electric Ladyland on the Column. Its way protected from the weather, very flat, and when we got it we found a joint taped to the wall by the previous party 11 months before. We immedately huffed it and thanked Scott Cole et al. for their donation.

I was going to save this wonderful piece of history for another time but since the thread is about ledges...
This is Hobo Ledge on The Leaning Tower. The occupants at the time were Sir William, Jeff Smith and Weenis. That Mr. Russell has a timeless style of class about him. Note the tiny Primus stove, the cafeteria cup and the ancient "tune unit" hanging.
Billy's Shoenards date him as well. Mimeographs anyone?

I'd have to say that this one is Classic!
Been there a bunch, even baked potatoes and cooked spam in the campfire.

Over the Rainbow Ledge has to be my number one favorite. Absolute best view of Vegas.
