Depends when you want to go, but if it's in the next few months, I'd say come on down to Arizona. It'll be your warmest option.
Let me know if you do, and I'll be happy to show you around!

Thrillseeker05 just emailed to me a photo of Monkey's Face, at Smith Rock State Park, Oregon. That would be the ultimate!!!!! Check it out. Not only could you climb in Oregon, you may even be able to rent a car and try some Washington and Idaho crags. Wherever you decide, be safe, have fun and CLIMB ON!!!

Go to Boulder, Colorado
Tons of sweet rock to climb, and it's a boulderer's heaven. Check out Eldorado too, there are some good intermediate trad routes there.
Climb Hard,

Although I have never been there, planning to go next spring, Red Rocks outside vegas seems to have a bunch of moderate trad and sport routes. Not to mention some gambling on the side

Go with Bouldertoad & Sauron's suggestions. JOshua Tree or Red Rocks would be great winter options with plenty of climbs available.

It all depends on the time of year. If you're looking to go soon, head to Vegas for Red Rocks. If it's after Thanksgiving, though, it can be a bit on the chilly side there. If you're thinking Christmas time or January, go to Arizona or Joshua Tree. And if you're going to Joshua Tree, and the ticket is free anyway, screw Ontario and fly into Palm Springs instead. It's much closer, no traffic issues, and you're less likely to have your gear stolen.
Can you get free passes for other people?? Like me? I'm originally from Nebraska, if that matters.
Oh, and there's really no point for you to fly to Boulder, CO, because it's only about a 7 hour drive from Lincoln, and you'd easily waste that much time (or more) screwing around with the airport crap, and you'd still have to rent a car in Denver and drive an hour out to the rocks anyway.

I say come to the south east. Around Knoxville, TN.
Here you will find T-wall, sunset park, obed river, devils racetrack.
You can even drive an hour over to NC for some climbing action.
