I can vouch for Sand as well. It's real nice. It's fairly long so having two days to do it would be awesome and you'll have solitude and dark sky! Maybe you can work out a loop where you go up one canyon and back out another? It can be slightly tricky figuring out precisely where you're going as you leave your vehicle and cross the big wide flat valley. If you use GPS, putting in a way point (and also marking one for your vehicle for the trip back out) is a good idea.
Usually the Amargosa crossing is dry and a non-event. Sparky makes a good point about traffic.
The comm tower is perhaps one of the most remote places you may be able to reach in a rental sedan. But there is some white knuckle driving and I just prefer to have a greater fraction of my day walking than driving.
