ABOUT THE DRIVE
It's about a four hour drive from Santa Clarita to Las Vegas--providing you're not going when everyone else is going. Tales of seven hour drives are not uncommon when traveling at peak time, because I-15 is at times a two-lane highway in both directions. Keep in mind So. Californians logged in ten million visits to Las Vegas in 2005 alone--by car.
When should you leave? Avoid Friday night and Saturday mornings eastbound, and Sunday afternon and evenings westbound.
