What is the best driving route from Detroit to Las Vegas?

I just scored free tickets to see Katy Perry in Vegas, and I’m so pumped! I’ve decided to make a total adventure out of it and drive there from my home base in Detroit. The thing is, I have no clue how to get there. I’d like to know—what’s the best route to drive from Detroit to Las Vegas?

It’s a long drive, but before you know it you’ll be waking up in Vegas. The best driving route from
Detroit
 to
Las Vegas
 is via I-80 West.
Driving from Detroit to Las Vegas will take you around 29 hours. The trip is 2,013 miles long one-way.
Chances are, you’ll want to break the drive up to get some rest. The halfway point between Detroit and Las Vegas is Gothenburg, Nebraska. If you care to stop earlier than that and do a bit of exploring,
Chicago
 is just 4.5 hours from Detroit.
Not so fast! Before you jet off on the open highway, make sure you’ve got quality
car insurance
 to keep you safe on your journey. To find the best price on the coverage you need, use the
Jerry
 app to compare quotes from top-rated insurance providers.
