I have used Paraview along with a little Python glue to visualize lidar  
point clouds (although not in las format) pretty successfully in the past.  
Adding plugins to Paraview is pretty straightforward so adding a liblas  
reader would probably be reasonably easy. ParaView doesn't support  
shapefiles either but the fork/extension ParaViewGeo [1] does so it might  
be worth a closer look as well.

Best,
