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

My best friend wants to rent a huge party bus and drive from Portland to Las Vegas for her bachelorette weekend, but I think she’s underestimating how long the trip will take. What’s the best route from Portland to Las Vegas?

You’re right that the drive will take a while—even on the fastest route! The best route to get from
Portland
to
Las Vegas
takes 15 and a half hours on the following route:
  1. Follow road signs for US-26 E.
  2. Continue onto OR-126 W, then use Tom McCall Rd to turn onto SW Millican Rd.
  3. Follow signs for US-20 E.
  4. Continue onto ​​OR-78 E.
  5. Take a slight right to continue onto US-95 S.
  6. Follow signs to merge onto I-80 E.
  7. Exit onto NV-305 S.
  8. Turn onto US-50 E, then follow signs for NV-376 S.
  9. Turn onto US-95 S and follow signs for Las Vegas!
If this sounds like too much time on the road, you can easily get from Portland to Vegas in a day via plane instead. This option will likely be cheaper than renting a bus for such a long distance, and will give you more time to enjoy the city!
