Going to Las Vegas from Kansas on August 8th

[xRaymond]

Welcome to RTA!

Kansas is a big state, and you didn't say where you are starting from, so I picked Topeka (since it's the capital and on the eastern edge of the state). Topeka to Las Vegas is almost 1300 miles, so you MUST do at LEAST one overnight, preferably 2. Two days of 650 miles is over and above what commercial truckers are allowed to do, and very exhausting, so I would make two days of 500 miles and one day of 300 miles, arriving on the third day of driving. \

I'm not sure what you mean about places that are dangerous. If you drive safely, keep aware of your surroundings, and use the same strategies that you do at home to stay safe, you should be find. If something doesn't look or feel right, it probably isn't, so you will find yourself leaving those areas, which are usually in a bad area of a city.

How long do you plan to stay in Las Vegas? You will need 6 days of the 10 for driving, so it doesn't leave you much time to stop anywhere along the way if you are going to be in Las Vegas for 4 days.

One idea would be to take one route to get to Las Vegas and another one to return.

But to give you more information, we'd really need to know where you are starting/ending in Kansas, and how much time you plan to be IN Las Vegas, plus a little bit about your interests.

Thanks for replying me.

I am living in Lawrence. The main objective for my trip will be "travel to places as many as possible." The purpose that I want to go to Las Vegas is look around. I am not going to gamble over there. I prefer to see beautiful views and go to some theme parks. I can stay in Las Vegas for a night or two nights. If there are many interesting activities to do I could stay for more. If not, I prefer to go other places. I prefer not to arrive Las Vegas on weekend because the hotels are too expensive. Do you have any ideas? Is the road safe to drive from Kansas to Las Vegas in August?
