Driving from LA to Vegas

[Mauricio Wilson]

Hi all,

I just made my reservations for Vegas for Labor Day weekend. I usually avoid busy 3 day weekends, but a bunch of friends are going, so its gonna be a fun weekend.

Unfortunately I have to drive on Friday Night and I'm trying to avoid the 6 to 8 hour traffic jam that is the 10 to the 15 route.

I've heard about this route where you can go through downtown, then take the 2 to 134 to 210 to 15.

Has anyone taken this route? Any recommendations on a better one?

I live on the westside if it makes a difference in the route.
