If you do it directly, the drive is only about four hours long — but there’s an outsized amount of adventure opportunities along the way. A one-way trip from Las Vegas to Los Angeles sweeps you through one of the most ruggedly beautiful parts of the American Southwest’s desert, and since it’s only a little more than 250 miles, the trip can be done well in just a weekend. The southeastern corner of California has so much to offer desert lovers, and if you follow the direct route along I-15, you’ll pass right by the Mojave National Preserve. Of course, even short detours will massively open your horizons — and with a one-way RV rental, you’ll be able to relax in the lap of luxury the whole time.
Why Is This Route Popular?
Las Vegas is, obviously, a popular tourist destination, with its bright lights, casinos and so much more. And so is Los Angeles, though its vibe is totally different. The drive between the two of them offers a wholly alternative experience, taking you from the height of exotic urbanity to extremely remote desert vistas in just a couple hours’ time. Along with the Mojave, you’ll also pass in close proximity to Joshua Tree National Park and Death Valley National Park, not to mention the spas and eateries of Palm Springs. All along the way, there are wonderful campgrounds to choose from, whether you’re looking for a fully inclusive resort-style option or something more off-the-beaten-path. Either way, you’ll feel right at home inside your one-way RV rental from an RVshare owner!
