I am a CFI in Vegas, and I've flown skydivers/traffic watch all over the LAS class B.

-As with any busy airspace, if you sound like a dope, they're likely to keep you out. Brevity and clarity in radio communication is the key.

-Let them know what you want. In your case: "[...]Request Bravo transition to Henderson." Or make them think you're really familiar "[...]Request Numbers-Henderson" (approach end of runway 25 then heading 175-ish to Henderson.)

I got a middle of the day Strip tour yesterday with a Korean "student" that hadn't flown in years. It's not too hard as long as you have (or at least show) confidence on the radio.

If they don't let you in, shrug it off and do your own thing under the shelf (while keeping the radios with approach just in case).
