You probably know all this, but when preparing to visit a new area,
you can find out about the US Trust registered D-Star repeaters at

W7AES is interesting. I notice Daniel reports W7AES does not work at
this time. And when you go to their DPlus Dashboard at
https://w7aes.dstargateway.org/ <https://w7aes.dstargateway.org/> it
shows no links and no last heard callsigns. But the dstarusers.org
page for this repeater at
http://www.dstarusers.org/viewrepeater.php?system=W7AES
<http://www.dstarusers.org/viewrepeater.php?system=W7AES> shows 18
Last Heard callsigns from various places around the world, including
one just a little while ago.
The other Las Vegas repeater is listed as N7ARR.
http://www.dstarusers.org/viewrepeater.php?system=N7ARR
<http://www.dstarusers.org/viewrepeater.php?system=N7ARR> shows only 2
callsigns on its Last Heard report for the last 14 days, but that page
also lists the trustee's email address, so you could contact him for
answers to your question.
The same repeater list shows W7KDS in Kingman, AZ (last time I was
there was 1963). There is one Last Heard callsign for the last 14 days.
It might makes sense to DPlus Link to all of those repeaters and see
if anyone is around.

W7AOR, Kent, is often on REF014C -- he is the control OP for N7ARR
repeaters. He sometimes pops on the NU7TS net at 8 PM (Mountain Time)
on Sunday evening -- REF029C. I'm pretty sure he welcomes visitors on
his repeater(s) but I haven't been to Vegas lately.
