Another tip for regular weekends. If you are returning to LA Sunday, do NOT leave right after checkout ~1-4pm. I always chill for a while and go back around 6 or 7pm. I once left at 6, got back at 10pm, and called a group who were there witb us that left around 2. They got back at 830.

Hero nails this one perfectly!! When coming back home to SoCal on a Sunday, I never leave Vegas during that window from 10am to 5pm. The road back is just brutal. Either leave at the crack of dawn or after dinner. Or better yet, come home on Monday.

I usually leave on Friday before 1pm or after 11pm.

For returns I either come back sunday at 8am or not until 9-10pm.

I never hit any traffic during these times and cruise at about 85mph so with no stops it only takes me 3hr 45min from LA door to door.
