Head up I-5 til you get to CA 99. Take 99 into the good ol central valley and check out all the national parks just east of us. Mainly recommend hittin Yosemite (just came back a few days ago from a little half day trip there and it was raging with water this time of year, beautiful). Lake Tahoe is always amazing, so is the coastal California areas like Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, etc. In fact, if your willing, take the Pacific Coast Highway all the way to Oregon if you could (CA HWY 1), most amazing scenery of any ocean in the world the whole way up!!
O and by the way, its gonna be just as hot here in California as it is in Vegas.
(or maybe the real heat in California is left with us good folks here in the central valley
) O and also by the way, the desert is beautiful, it aint boring as others may have you believe
