If you’re looking for a shorter one-way RV trip that packs a whole lot of bang for its buck, the route from Los Angeles to Las Vegas has you covered. Although it’s less than five hours of driving time, this 300-ish mile stretch has a ton to offer, especially if desert vistas are your thing. Los Angeles has plenty of great one-way RV rental vehicles to choose from, giving you the perfect home base from which to plan your once-in-a-lifetime desert adventure — which, best of all, can easily be done in the course of a weekend. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to custom-craft your RV trip with detours to the destinations you decide are at the top of your list.
Why Is This Route Popular?
Los Angeles is one of the biggest metropoles in the United States, making it a great place to fly in for a one-way RV rental. After seeing everything the City of Angels has to offer, you can begin your journey northeast. Tucked in the immediate vicinity of I-15, you’ll find endless outdoor recreation opportunities, from the Mojave National Preserve and Joshua Tree National Park in the south to Death Valley National Park a bit further north toward the Nevada border. And once you arrive in Las Vegas, there are still some unbeatable outdoor destinations to explore if you need a break from the bright lights of the big city. For instance, there’s Lake Mead National Recreation Area for when you need a cooling dip, and Desert National Wildlife Refuge to the north, where you can visit with hundreds of species of birds and more than 50 different kinds of mammals. Oh — and did we mention there are some incredible RV campgrounds around Las Vegas, too?
