Dear All,
Why QGIS is not able to open .las (LIDAR Data Exchange File) formats. Is it not under Gdal support?
Regards
Please read QGIS/GRASS instead of QGIS.

First this is a QGIS question, not a a GRASS question. Should be asked
on qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org
No GDAL\OGR does not directly read LAS you need liblas
http://liblas.org/utilities/las2ogr.html
Alternately GRASS does contain functionality to deal with lidar
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/LIDAR#Import_LAS_as_vector_points
Though it looks like you'll need to use Liblas to convert the data to
text 1st for GRASS.
Enjoy,
