Driving into Las Vegas
Even though a plane ride is less than an hour from Southern California, depending upon which airport you leave from - it may be faster to drive! Besides - this is definitely one of the few times that the trip can be almost as much as much as being here!

Directions from Southern California

The directions couldn't be simpler - but you might miss a few great stops along the way without a map. So first things first ...directions.

Depending upon your favorite westerly route (10, 91 etc...) - you simply need to get to the 15 and head north. You may see signs that say "Route 15 Barstow" or "Route 15 Barstow / Las Vegas" - but once your on the 15 - your almost <sic> here!

• For Henderson and Boulder locations: Follow the 15 North past Primm and Jean Nevada, and just as you come over the ridge with Las Vegas in the distance - you have two choices:
  • You can exit onto St. Rose Parkway/Lake Mead Drive / Rt 146 which as of this writing is exit 27. This will bring you through the middle of west Henderson.
  • You can continue on the 15 north to Route 215 EAST.
• For Laughlin I-15 north to Barstow; I-40 east to Needles, CA. Exit on River Road cutoff, turn north for 22 miles on Needles Highway to Casino Drive, turn right
• For Strip Hotels - If it's your first time here - get off at the first "Strip" exit, and take the trek up the strip to your hotel. If it's not your first time driving in - you know which exit to get off
