How far is the drive from Chicago to Las Vegas?

My girlfriends and I are planning a trip to Las Vegas and we’re debating the best way to get there from our home base of Chicago. Would it be too far to drive from Chicago to Vegas?

Wow! A road trip to Sin City is the stuff of legend (and several movies). If you’re driving from Chicago, prepare yourself for a bit of a haul. The distance between Chicago and Las Vegas is about 1,747.6 miles which means you’re looking at a roughly 26 hour car ride.
Overall, driving to Las Vegas instead of flying could save you quite a bit of money. The estimated cost of gas round trip will run you about $517 based on the current fuel prices.
If you aren’t up for making the trip in one go, you may want to break up your drive. The halfway point between the Windy City and Las Vegas is Galien,

, located in the northeast corner of the state.
