What’s the best route from San Francisco to Las Vegas?

Can I drive from San Francisco to Las Vegas? I have a lot of driving anxiety, but my friend is having her bachelorette in Vegas, and I want to join if possible.

How fun! The best route from
San Francisco
to
Las Vegas
is via I-5 S and I-15 N. The drive will take you just over nine hours in total, so you might want to stop along the way, too. The best place to stop at a hotel along your drive is in Bakersfield, California.
However, you can also stop to camp along your route! Driving from San Francisco to Las Vegas takes you right by Sequoia National Forest and Los Padres National Forest, both of which are beautiful places to stop and explore, hike, and camp before you continue on to Vegas.
Since you’re planning on driving a significant distance, it’s a good idea to update your car insurance before you leave. With the

app, you can find the best rates available on the coverage you need in a matter of minutes. Download the app to learn more.
