When you're ready to party Vegas-style, the miles of desert between Los Angeles and The City That Never Sleeps Where You Can Also Drink In The Street can seem like thousands instead of a mere 270. Here's some tips from me, a seasoned LA/LV jetsetter, on making the most of it.
When you get to step 4, have everyone in the car take a searching and fearless moral inventory. Then take the paper that you wrote it on and roll a joint. (Save Making Amends for the drive back…you’re going to need it.)
Start Drinking
No, not in the car, that would be ILLEGAL. But you can pull over and your passengers (are you the driver? stop reading! this fun is not for you) can shotgun a beer while doing a Chinese firedrill. I just came up with this idea, but it sounds really fun!
Start Gambling
Take bets with the other people in your car:
Who will get thrown out of the Bellagio
How many people you can fit in the shower in your room
How many times you can ask the dealer the rules of craps before he stops taking your money
HOT Times in Baker
Guess what. Baker, California (between LA and Vegas) is home to the biggest thermometer in the country. Stop by and take a gander. On second thought, if it’s so damn big, why should you stop? Just look out the window and keep driving.
Cross Miles of Desert...
...for a lifetime of fun.
Vegas, Baby!

Marvel at the Desert Stars
You’re leaving one bright city for one brigther one. Try to get in at least some of your driving at night. Roll down the window and look up. See those twinkly, sparkly lights up there? Those are stars! Aren’t they great?
Leave Early (or late)
...because the beautiful babies don’t work the midnight to 6 am shift on a Wednesday. Seriously.
Reminisce About Past Vegas Trips
This is a no brainer, but here’s an example anyway:
“Remember that one time that we were running around the hallways at the Tropicana in our bathing suits with that Spanish guy and your boob fell out and I was like ‘Hey! Your tit’s out!’ and you looked down and it was but you were like ‘So what?’ and gave me the finger? Good times.”
Now you try one.
You're There!
So you came down that big hill on I-15. Passed through Primm, managing not to stop at the outlet mall (maybe on the way home…) and now you’re there! Vegas, baby! Drive down the strip. Park the car. Check in to the hotel (if you’re even going to need one) and whatever you do, postpone sleep as long as possible. You’re in Sin City…START SINNING.
