Traffic from SoCal to LV this weekend?
Just wondering if any 2+2ers have made the trip from SoCal to Las Vegas over Thanksgiving Weekend. I live in San Diego, and generally don't mind the drive, as long as traffic is tolerable. That said, I'm really unsure of how busy Hwy 15 will be tomorrow afternoon/evening. Would I be better off leaving Wednesday afternoon, Wednesday evening, or perhaps early Thanksgiving morning? (The rooms are comped, so that's not a factor)

Hard to say about leaving Wednesday because on one hand it's a getaway day, but on the other hand many people have already gotten an early start with their travel. I think you'll have smooth sailing anytime on Thursday. It's Sunday I'd watch out for. Come back Monday if you can.

Thanks for the input. Might there be any sort of website that would have some traffic info for that stretch of 15?

If I were making this trip, I would probably leave late Wednesday night(like 11pm late, obv not ideal for staying awake though) or anytime Thursday. Avoid coming back Sunday like the plague. I know one person that claimed it took them 10 hours to get back to L.A. after All-Star Weekend. I dunno how many stops they made on the way though.

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.

Question not specifically for this weekend but for an average weekend in general:
How's the traffic going from LV to LA if one were to leave LV for LA on Thu or Fri and return on Sun? Is it the same as LA to LV, or would I be laughing at all the suckers in stop-n-go while I fly along the other side on relatively empty highway? |

[/ QUOTE ] i've done this the last two years. smooth sailing going south (once you get past the normal clusterfucks like 215 and that first big grade out of the valley). coming back, tejon pass and the (other) 215 merge can be sucky. overall, it's fine. |
