Believe it or not, Temple square in SLC is the most visited tourist attraction in Utah, attracting about the same amount of visitors each year as all five National parks in the state combined. It's beautifully lit up around Christmas. The Kennecott mine already mentioned is impressive to me in its size, and the absolutely huge machinery used. If you're traveling with kids the national history museum, aquarium, and zoo are quite good in my opinion.
Of course the traffic can be impressive in regards to how poorly so many drive. The air during the winter can be impressive in how thick and polluted it can be during temperature inversions etc... I'm not so much a city type, and find cities to not be all that great. Salt Lake also has some amazing canyons and mountain areas boarding right up to the city. Some fantastic outdoor rec to be found.
