Getting quick access to quality primary care in LV seems to be a major issue. All of the medical professionals I know who have retired to Las Vegas have eventually signed up for concierge medicine. All are very happy.

Basic idea is that you pay a substantial annual fee to a MD who agrees to limit the number of patients he will look after. Because of this the primary care MD can ensure same or next day appointments.

Best known outfit is MDVIP: MDVIP | Wellness Plan | Find a Doctor

Of course the usual fees apply for medical services in addition to the annual fee.

I guess in medicine the American way is: "money talks, bull**** walks". Sad, but true.....
