How far is California from Las Vegas if you’re driving?

I’ve always wanted to see the California coast. As a senior at UNLV, I figured this was my last shot before I get tied down to a job in the area… so I’m heading out next weekend! How long will my drive from Vegas to Cali be?

That’s a great idea! Nothing quite beats a sunny drive up the winding
California
coastline. The drive to Cali from
Vegas
is only about 35 miles and will take about 30 minutes—but that will just get you to the state border.
The total distance you have to cover will depend on which city you’re aiming for. Here are a few of the big ones:
  • Las Vegas to Los Angeles: 270 miles in about 4 hours and 15 minutes
  • Las Vegas to
    San Diego
    : 330 miles in just over 5 hours
  • Las Vegas to
    Sacramento
    : 560 miles in 8 hours and 45 minutes
  • Las Vegas to
    San Francisco
    : 570 miles in about 9 hours
Be sure to factor in pit stops and traffic for your drive—and best of luck with your trip!
Before you take your trusty car on a road trip, it’s always smart to double-check your insurance.
