Sorry to hear about the damage... that's some fairly severe damage to an 'unbendable' part of the car. I'd imagine you'd be better off replacing it. The repairs might not look all that good.
One the funny side, it snowed here in Houston,TX last week too... when it was all said and done we got about an inch.

Dude, that might be snow FALLING, but in Vegas I'm sure your roads were only wet. So don't blame it on snow. As long as your surface temps haven't dipped below freezing (and that takes a number of sub-freezing days to do) your roads were simply wet. Face it, you were hot doggin' and lost it... Mr. Big Rock was simply minding his own business.
As far as the damage, sorry to hear that. From the pics it shouldn't be too bad a repair job especially since it's all cosmetic. Otherwise, go for totally new.

Thanks for all of your replies guys, I'll get some better pics of the damage up here shortly...time to go back to the body shops for estimates (I was just through this with my door)!
DOH!

First off, sorry about the bumper my friend, that blows and I feel your pain. I just put my car away for a long winters nap today, I live in RI and we're expecting 8" - 10" of snow starting tomorrow.

And imagine that on the GROUND.... LOL! When I was in PA it usually stayed on the ground from the day it started until late February or early March. And even then, I was still chopping ice in April to get my boats and camper out.

It snowed in Vegas? Did the Nevada snow plough get on the streets? I was there a few years ago and it was 55 degrees out and people were walking around in parkas and I was in shorts and a tshirt. I think I heard the phrase "stupid Canadian" a few times lol.
