Traffic from SoCal to LV this weekend?

[52s]

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?

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.

That's the trick to making all Vegas travel go smoothly...go against the grain. Everybody else comes to Vegas on Friday or Saturday and leaves on Sunday. So you do the opposite...leave town on Friday or Saturday and come back Sunday through Wednesday. Works well at the airport.

Going with the flow means freeway parking lots and 2 hour cab lines and 45 minute security lines.
