What is the best route from Vegas to Lake Tahoe?

My husband wants a party vacation, but I want a nature vacation, so we’re making the best of both worlds with one big road trip! What’s the best way to get to Lake Tahoe from Las Vegas?

You two have got the compromise part of marriage down! The best route from
Vegas
 to Lake Tahoe will depend on what you want to get out of your
road trip
. The fastest route follows US-95/ALT US-95 and US-50/I-580, but you may miss out on some pretty great sights.
If you want the most scene route from Vagas to Lake Tahoe, use the following directions:
  • Take I-15 S out of the city to NV-160.
  • Follow NV-160 to the west then turn left onto Bell Vista Ave and follow this over the
    Nevada
    –
    California
     state line.
  • Turn right onto CA-127 then left onto CA-190 through Death Valley National Park.
  • Follow CA-136 to US-395 N which takes you up through the Sierra Nevada mountains.
  • Turn left onto Riverview Drive, then follow Dresslerville Road and NV-756 W to NV-206 headed north.
  • Turn left onto NV-207 and follow this to US-50 to get to
    South Lake Tahoe
     or any other area of the Lake.
The scenic route isn’t always the easiest, so make sure to add
towing and labor coverage
 to your
car insurance

What’s the best year for a used Toyota Sequoia?
I’m looking at buying a used Toyota Sequoia. My Ford Expedition isn’t comfortable on back roads during our constant camping trips from Spring through Fall, and I like the look of the Toyota more too. But what’s the best year for a used Toyota Sequoia, though?

What’s the best year for a used Subaru Crosstrek?
I’m moving to upstate New York, and I’ve had several people there tell me about Subarus and how great they are in the snow. I’m looking for a used one as a winter car, and to occasionally take camping. What’s the best year for a used Subaru Crosstrek?
