- Phoenix area to LA or Orange County ~8 hours
- Phoenix to Las Vegas ~5 hours
- LA area to Las Vegas ~4-5 hours + 1-2 hours for traffic
- San Diego to Las Vegas 5-6 hours + 1-2 hours traffic (or more...)
- Bay Area to Los Angeles 5-7 hours depending on start location + traffic
I completely get it ... being I live within 40-45 minutes of 3 airports it is unusual to drive long distances though that has changed now that one of my kids is attending a school almost 5 hours away and flying is not really an option or maybe I should say flying is not a time saver.

Not trying to hi-jack this thread but I have been doing a lot of road trips lately and it’s given me a return of my passion for road trips.
