What’s the best route from Las Vegas to Lake Tahoe?

Is driving from Las Vegas to Lake Tahoe difficult? I’m trying to decide what type of road trip I want to take this summer and I’ve been considering Lake Tahoe, but I’ve never taken a road trip before so I’m a little nervous.

The route from
Las Vegas
to Lake Tahoe takes about seven hours and 15 minutes to complete when you travel via US-95 N and Main St, but you can break up the trip by stopping along the way. Some fun places to stop include:
  • Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
  • Badwater Basin
  • Artists Dr.
This will make your road trip a little easier since you won’t have to drive straight from one city to another. If you’d like, you can even spend the night along the way to break up the trip even further. This will allow you to see even more sights!
Another important thing to do before you leave is to update your insurance policy. The
