    Anyone Ever Drive To Vegas From Northeast??

    Want to go but bankroll limited so figure its cheaper to drive if I can make it in 4 days. I have a van with bad gas mileage but it works good. How tough is the drive?? If I fly then I have no car in Vegas and need one because staying about 2 months to see if I can be a mini pro . Any thoughts here???

    nyc to vegas is over 2500 miles. google maps says it'll take 38 hrs driving straight through. my truck gets about 11 mph, it would take about $800 worth of gas to get there, paying $3.60/gallon.

    JJ, if you need a pit stop in MN let me know.

    I'd feed you wild game and moonshine. I live in the sticks. Just wanted to let you now you're always welcome.

    Everyone should drive cross country at least once in their lives. It's a pretty awesome experience.

    I know myself personally I'd be one of his first stops being in PA.

    JJer think about all the posters you could pay a visit to. I'd be happy to let you mow my lawn and the same could be said for most guys here.

    JJ you could expand your business nationally think about it.

    Coach, MN is not far off the route.

    You could use a pit stop.

    I'll take you ice fishing. We'll be ice fishing through June here.
