Is it possible to load an .las file directly into QGIS?

I would like to be able to load LiDAR data and to be able to do analysis based various feature attributes; e.g., elevation, classifications, etc. While LASTools (which was suggested in What is the procedure to load LAS files in QGIS 2.0.1?) is a nice set of tools, it still didn't produce an .las point file that could be read by QGIS

liblas can be compiled with gdal support, then use las2ogr to convert the las to a QGIS-supported vector format. http://www.liblas.org/utilities/las2ogr.html
