What’s the best route from Austin to Las Vegas?

I want to go to Las Vegas for my bachelorette party, but I might need to drive there since I’ll be bringing a lot of stuff. What’s the best route from Austin to Las Vegas?

While you definitely can drive between these two cities, you should be prepared for a long trip! The best route from
Austin
to Las Vegas is via I-40 W. The trip will require about 19 hours of driving—you should only drive a max of 8 or 9 hours a day, so if you’re driving alone, you’ll need to spend at least two nights on the road along the way.
If you’ll have someone with you, you may be able to make the trip with one overnight stop. Two possible stopping points at about the halfway mark are Roswell, New Mexico, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Roswell is about eight hours away from Austin, while Albuquerque is a little over 10 hours away from Austin.
If you want to drive this far, you should also take a minute to update your car insurance before you leave. With the

app, you can see a list of policy quotes that work for you in minutes. The average user saves over $800 per year.
