My question is where to go inbetween the time I take off and the time I reach 4200', that is not shown anywhere.

Well the others answered it already, but I am assuming they will be vectoring you with your location so close to LAS.

I think the point of the visual climb is so you do not need to meet the climb gradient. You are supposed to cross LAS (8 miles away) at 4000' if you fly the normal procedure. If you are unable to do 4000' at LAS, then you do the visual climb. That is what I think is the case, but I'd like someone to confirm it for me.

So what exactly, in general, is the point of a visual climb SID than? Why not just file direct to your first waypoint?
I know the purposes of a SID but a visual climb in one when you can just file direct to your first route waypoint seems much more appealing than flying a full SID VFR when it's not necessary.
