Road Trip Tips?


Question Posted Tuesday April 5 2005, 3:59 pm

I'm headed out to Las Vegas this summer, driving alone from East Lansing, Michigan. I've already got three stops (free room for the night!) planned, one in Kasnas City, KS, next to Gunnison, CO and finally Reno, NV.

Does anyone have any advice as far as road tripping tips, places to eat, stop or see along the way? I'm just looking for general tips and tricks, since I'm going to be by myself for the whole trip. Things to keep me alert and awake, which roads to take, which not to take, where construction is and that sort of thing.

Thanks in advance!

I suppose I should add here that I'm going out there for an internship. I'll be living with a friend and driving by myself.. but the goal in Vegas is work, not play unfortunately. Also, there's no way I can get anyone else to drive with me, so I'm sort of SOL with that one. Hope that helps to narrow down the advice. Thanks..

stay out of southern utah unless you're packing some serious weaponry, and carry at least one firearm when traveling at all times.

everytime you stop to get gas go to the pee room and write down how much the gas cast so at the end you will know how much gas you spent!!

and if ur going to go to the casino then trust me... BRING LOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTSSS Of $$$$$$

I haven't been to vegas so I can't help you much there, but if your in KC you should check out Union Station... it's super-neat and you can stop for ten minutes, admire the scenery, and then be on your merry way. Also, find a place on the Plaza to go to lunch; it's this big huge outdoor mall type thing, neat old archetecture and all that.

the more people the better. gas gets much cheaper. you already have a free room at nights youre staying places, so i wont bother telling you to live with family. i cant think of anything else incredibly important, money is really the only issue. other than that, have fun!

Your trip sounds awesome! im probably not the most knowledgeable but i saw nobody answered you yet so i figured i would give it a shot.
I suggest sticking to the dollar menu while travelling. It can save you some $$! If you spend like $4 a meal, thats $12 per day on food so not bad! Gas wont be cheap, hopefully your not driving like an suv or anything. In Nevada, be sure to visit the Hoover Dam...its a wonderful sight so my father tells me. I would save your money up for Vegas. I mean sure COlorado and Kansas is nice..(Colorado especially is scenic..so maybe if your into that stuff stop off to do some hiking or something)..but Vegas is glamourous and a wonderful trip! See shows,gamble a little,eat all the good food..so if it were me i would try to conserve money until Vegas.
Im sorry i cant help you on where construction is and what to take..maybe go to google and look at a map or atlas for the best way?
I hope you have a blast!!!!
