1 outskirts: "Outskirts" is the right answer. The "outskirts (of Las Vegas)" are the area surrounding the city - the edge of Las Vegas. Example: "WarMart plans to build another superstore on the outskirts of town".
2 pastime: "Pastime" is the best choice here. A "pastime" is a hobby: a way to pass or spend our free time. Example: "I am writing my thesis on Victorian pastimes".
