quickest way to vegas from da bay

[Buttzilla]

anybody? everytime i went, we always took a different route. the last time we went my friend got us there in 6 hours...yes thats crazy, he's an evironmental consultant and works around all of cali...so we took the back roads and man we got there quick. but i don't trust taking his way cause he's not going to be w/ us.

i'd fly.
roundtrip tickets are really affordable.
it'd prolly be comparable to your gas cost.

already looked at mapquest and yahoomaps and other mapsites. there are a different routes utilizing smaller freeways into vegas. jsut wondering if anybody uses them here.

This is optimally the best route.

Taking the I15 is what everyone in socal takes. If you want to go all the way to tahoe/reno, and go down, it will take 4 hours longer.

From which bay? I'm assuming the San Francisco bay?

When are you going? Did you know there was a pretty bad flood in that area this week.

Runoff eroded bridge supports on I-15 outside Baker, about 200 miles northeast of Los Angeles, forcing the California Highway Patrol to shut down the highway's northbound lanes. Those lanes, carrying traffic to Las Vegas, was expected to remain closed until noon Thursday while crews repaired the bridge, which was in danger of collapse.

"Anyone going to Vegas is not going to get past Barstow," CHP officer Adam Cortinas said.

It says it should be cleared up by now, but I would make sure if you are going to take the 15.
