Vancouver (BC) to Las Vegas

[PNW Judy]

Vegas is still on my To-Do List of cities I want to visit in the future. Maybe for the WSOP in 2009.

What is WSOP?

Having made the drive to Reno several times, I don't recommend it. I would take another route to get to Las Vegas, like driving on the California side. Much better scenery!

I've gone both ways and I think going over the Sierra-Nevadas from Mt. Shasta to Reno is one of the most gorgeous drives there is. And I really enjoyed the desolate desert feel of Nevada. I think I-5 from Sacramento south is just OK.

But I always push for people to do loop drives anyway so they are always covering new ground. No reason they couldn't go one way there and the other way back and enjoy both!

hi there, I am new on this forum.......just wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions for me. My fiance and I are getting married on August 17th and would like to leave on the 19th on a roadtrip to Vegas. We would like to go down the coast as it would be a first for my fiance to see California. I am thinking that we will camp all the way to Vegas and then stay in a hotel when we get there. I would like to travel down through California and then head back up through the interior to see some different stuff. Our main goal of this trip is to see a lot of diverse geography and to be able to camp and have a good time. I would like to see some volcanoes and the ocean as well as of course the Grand Canyon and Death Valley. Is it possible to do all of this? It will not be a long trip as we have to get back for another wedding on the 29th........it's that time of year.... I am completely new to roadtrips other than very speedy educational trips from college and baseball weekend away games hahaha!! Let me know if you have some advice as to what a good route would be.....
