Palm Springs to Las Vegas

Has anyone done this drive? Anything interesting to stop and see along the way or is it just lots of desert? Thanks!



Palm Springs to Las Vegas


Pretty boring drive. Road and Desert. Takes about 3 hours depending on stops and traffic.

It can%26#39;t be any worse than driving across Kansas, so I am sure we will live. :-) Thanks!




3 hours is way too short. Normal traffic at 75-80 mph will be 4-41/2.




I agree with the 4 1/2 hour timeframe. I made the drive years ago in a nice rental and it was long, not attractive, high desert trip. Also, if you are doing it in the dead of summer, throw a jug of water in the truck. Between the speed, outside heat and the max A/C, keep an eye on the temp gauge. It%26#39;s HOT in the desert and you climb a lot of ';hills';!!
