I was using the calculator provided in Pam's post and using cities, not airports.

google says 428 miles from my doorstep to Las Vegas; 429 from my doorstep to the Palazzo via US93, 490 via I-10W. I'm not sure what the calculator is using

Straight drive thru ... or as long as I can go in first day.

1485 miles 22 hours per google. Probably less with my Son's Valentine1 radar detector.

The return trip will be longer; I’m planning to head for the coast and go north.
