+dathip You never reach Bakersfield on this trip, because I-15 doesn't go anywhere near Bakersfield. At the point where you mention Bakersfield, you enter the town of Baker.

I've driven this so many times, I can't believe I'm watching this

[@LinamQB6]

Lol same, such a great drive though. Love going to Las Vegas!

[@probstd88]

I did the same road trip. As European I can say that i never felt so free in a car. When you drive it's not boring at all, but I was also hangovered. Freedom you find only in the desert

[@etagsibuna]

Being from Denmark, i've only driven that route once. Love the incline out of the LA bassin. It is much steeper than video can convey. And ofcourse the Mojave is fantastically beautiful and strange, set in contrast to my green and densely populated homeland. Thanks for the video.

[@CaptBenSisko]

Awesome. Finally a real time drive video.

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

this is great,i am going to watch all of it in pieces.little bit at a time,thanks for posting

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

okay

[@viviendoenlagracia]

I hope next year to make that trip. The environment in the road is beautiful.

[@smithraymond09029]

4 1/2 hrs from the West side to Vegas is good time.

I love this driving on this path.. Thank You for upload -=)

[@chumbersdee]

1:54:17 , ahhh the famous Lenwood exit. I don't know how many times we've stopped there to get In N Out on the way to Vegas

[@DannyD996]

Thanks for posting this. I'm from Canada and one of my dreams is to drive across the southwest and experience those desserts and the heat, it fascinates me for some reason.

[@BurningAttack7]

I'm the opposite lol I wanna visit Canada I've been in Vegas for 13 years now I hate the heat lol

[@stevethompson3811]

Great driving despite the head trips along the way. Kept great distance and weren't distracted by speed up, slow down behavior by some cars. Very good and illustrates just how big LA is, the great distance to Las Vegas and the continuous traffic you deal with.

[@FirstNameLastName-lj9zo]

You should try the same commute any Friday during the summer or during a long holiday weekend, or whenever there's brush fires in the Angeles forest, those 4 and a half hours will turn into 10 hours.

[@memyself898]

I'm flying to LA from Florida Wednesday and making this drive Thursday!!

[@cjs83172]

There's a trick that can be used to travel every mile of I-10 in the Los Angeles area, including the mile-long spur between US-101 and I-5 (miles 17-18). The way to do that going east is to run the full route from Santa Monica to I-5, get off I-5 at 4th Street, then use either State Street or Boyle Ave. to get to 1st Street, and from there, you can get on NB US-101 to the I-10 spur that includes the State Street/Soto Street exit (X18/19) at I-5. To do that going westbound, you have to double back on US-101, get off at 4th Street, and follow 4th Street to I-5, from where you can get to WB I-10.

[@TheLaMoFo]

I watched the entire video. No regrets.

[@paulbaron783]

Drove the route many times..love it. once i drove from LA to salt lake, denver, chicago, nyc, key west LA.. almost 13000miles /21000km in three months with many stops. do something similar again next year..

[@3pointmvpshooter3000]

Check out the Barstow Station at Barstow. That's where i always stop when driving to Las Vegas.

[@littleattic]

hey, cool vid. roll me away by bob seger is the right music for doing a roadtrip :-) greetings from switzerland

[@feisaldianga2367]

This jounery was long and tring for the drive, but good roads and inter-sections love it.

[@ippoutukou71]

A beautiful scenery. Both natural cityscape, very great. I very envious, because this scenery not in Japan,. I really respect the United States.

Thank you so much!

[@damienhayes6033]

the best road trip ever

[@ElCid48]

Nice video. For once there's no fast forward action like in other long trip videos some people upload. For sound I muted it and opened a new KZbin window and played my own choice of music while watching.

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

ElCid48 what did you play?

[@ElCid48]

Trev Mac A variety of music. From Bach piano concertos to Miles Davis and John Coltrane full albums. Whatever to keep me awake "while I'm driving". ;D

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

oh! cool,i'm going to play 70's pop stuff when i go on a trip like this

[@ElCid48]

Trev Mac Whatever you like. Have fun!

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

thanks you too

[@oceanq]

Nice drive. I watched most of it! Subbed👍🤗

[@aq3079]

Few questions from an Brit planning the same journey. A) I take it it's a free for all when it comes to lanes (i.e. no overtaking lanes)? B) Is there anywhere worth stopping midway? C) What's the main speed limit and how heavily is it enforced? Thanks

[@sleetskate]

Andrew Quinlan A) Technically the far left lane is a passing lane but unless u have a cop at night who hasnt met his quota (which is very rare) your fine. B) IDK C) City freeways in beginning - 65 mph, desert freeway - 70mph. Just follow the traffic. Unless ur goin 85-90 your fine.

[@fabrizioroccapc]

Why is the quality of asphalt so bad in the US?

[@6824096]

I will be driving from Sacramento to Las Vegas in 4 days. I can not wait.

[@JoshuaModerwell]

One day, I am going to move from Ohio to Los Angeles in California to see and feel what the California life is like and things and have new experiences and maybe one day I will go to Las Vegas to see what it is like too.

[@DAL201107]

Did you ever leave Ohio?

[@JoshuaModerwell]

@@DAL201107 I did when I went to Phoenix, Arizona in November of 2020 because my uncle was going to have hip surgery, so, I tagged along with my mom and my grandma because I knew my uncle would need all the help he can get after he had his surgery.

[@38semsem]

nice trip .little long ,but nice. thanks friend

[@Jiltedin2007]

You were starting at Santa Monica I can see. To drive through the Santa Monica and San Bernardino Freeways would be a good idea if you were driving at night(Or on a Weekend) when the Freeways are empty, especially in Downtown Los Angeles. But you are driving in the daytime and the best route in that type of day would be to take the San Diego Freeway(405) North to the Ventura Freeway(101) East(Or South), where it would change over to the 134 at Burbank and you would take it all the way to Pasadena where it would change over to the Foothill Freeway(210). Once you are on the Foothill Freeway you would take it all the way to San Bernardino where you can hit Interstate 15 North where you could take it all the way to Las Vegas. It's a good drive though, and it looks like you are taking it at the twilight of the day.

[@megaman7199]

Why did you stop did you have to go take a leak or something or site seeing, theirs so much to see in Las Vegas for sure

[@spwb2k]

i love how Hollywood shows and movies will have characters standing around LA one minute, decide to drive to Vegas on a whim, then in one quick scene cut they're pulling into the Hard Rock like its just over the horizon. the TV show Entourage did this several times, with (unintentionally) humorous effect.

[@Epistaxis684]

I want to do this drive one day...looks fun.

[@kdwhat2]

Im only watching this because im going to Las Vegas in a couple of days i wanted to see mostly how the desert would be like it didint look bad so im exited!! Its my first time going to lol

[@latedroppin]

Hot damn! I never rode in a convertible before

[@luisnoone6993]

Is that right? Well I guess you’re about ready then aren’t you?

[@John_259]

That truck at 00:26:45 - has it got its back doors open?

[@SubtenkoGaming]

WOW this is awesome, I've always wondered how long road trips were, thanks for the video experience :D

[@done7367]

Can’t wait to go to Vegas today!

[@EveAFDocco]

Do you travel through Baker , Bartow and Bardoo.?

What equipment was used? Camera, lens, memory, resolution settings? Thanks in advance.

[@marlenemerow3769]

Thanks for sharing your video coverage. I watched the whole thing almost completely in real time. I'll be making this trip at the end of May 2015. It just gave me a little better perspective to match our expectations.

[@LOISSHARRI]

Why did you pull over and stop on I-15 just north of I-215 shortly past one hour into the video?

[@MrApaHotel]

What camera did you use? Nice picture quality, both far and near focus.

[@jjargus3077]

What was going on with all the cops at Primm, and that Chrysler turned the wrong way? Interesting that just past that was a sign saying Highway Patrol Zero Tolerance Zone. lol. Nice video, beautiful scenery. Could have used sound, though.

[@cjs83172]

Jj Argus It was almost certainly a major traffic accident, judging by the number of police and safety vehicles that were present.

[@DroneGirl1]

Awesome, some day I would love to go to Vegas! :) Thumbs up from me! :) Well done on your video! :)

[@mustange5505]

Cool Vid, I assume you were coming from south of LA. since you were on the 405 will I think your were at least.. Why didn't you just take the 405 to 10 to 15 instead of the 604 to 210 over 15? Just curious..

[@99hourvideos]

I was just following the whims of my fair GPS :)

[@cjs83172]

99hourvideos Well, the fact is that the L.A. freeway system is so expansive that you could take any number of routes to get to the same destination. For instance, when my dad was driving a cab in San Diego, we had a fare to Woodland Hills, and the guy we were taking had us go on I-5 from National City, where I was picked up from school (the fare actually began near the International Border) to I-605 (and this was still when they had the old 3-lane per side Santa Ana Freeway alignment), and we took I-605 north to I-210 west to CA-118 west to DeSoto Avenue. Coming back toward San Diego and points further south, we took Ventura Blvd. to I-405 south, and took that until the merge with I-5 in Irvine, and took I-5 the rest of the way. But a much more direct route would have been to take I-5 to I-405, and then take I-405 to US-101 and get off on DeSoto Avenue to get to the same place. L.A. has the most expansive freeway system in the country, but it's still jammed up most of the time because you're trying to put the combined population of Baltimore, Washington, and Philadelphia on that freeway system at once most of the time. How on Earth you were lucky enough to get a day when it was free-flowing traffic in downtown Los Angeles, I have no idea. In 2005, my dad and I took a trip to L.A. because he was to see a doctor not far from Hollywood, and once we got to the I-5/CA-91 interchange, it was a mess from there all the way to the East L.A interchange, where we got on I-10 west, and it was still jammed all the way to where we got off on Venice Blvd./Washington Blvd. (Surface streets flowed better than I-5 or I-10 once we hit Buena Park.) And coming back, it was no different. We actually delayed the trip back and got supper before coming back, knowing what we were in for, and sure enough, the traffic coming back was no better on I-10 east or I-5 south until we got to about Rosecrans Ave. on I-5 south, from where it was an easy ride the rest of the way to San Diego.

[@smithraymond09029]

***** 9 times out of 10 the 210fwy is a much better drive than the 10fwy.

[@cjs83172]

And a major reason for that is the fact that I-210 misses the heavily populated areas of Los Angeles, while I-10 begins in Santa Monica, goes right through downtown L.A., and eventually goes through Pomona and Ontario, while I-210 stays north of each of those places. And 60 is not that good of an alternate, because it also goes through many of the same areas that I-10 goes through (downtown L.A., Pomona, and Ontario), just slightly south of I-10.

[@theilluminedone7896]

***** Both are ass. The 60E to the 15N is the way to go. Can do Vegas inside 4 hours without having to look for cops if you do it right. I have heard of runs inside 3.5 hours but the cops are waiting along the 15 for idiots to blow by and fuck you over.

[@CRMNLBoi]

[@angelsaavedra6327]

[@saladspinner3200]

David Povey How romantic you are!

[@rhgonzalez1]

usually takes about 3.30 to 4 hours depends of your speed and trafic

[@cjs83172]

chanctonbury63 Not as far as it would be from San Diego, though it's more direct from San Diego (just straight up I-15). I would estimate this trip, as seen in the video, was about 270-280 miles. It's about 330-340 from San Diego.

[@x4GOTDREAMS]

What year was this? I took a trip to Vegas from LA and remember a bunch if cops there

[@ribeirh]

I'm intending to go from Las Vegas to Las Angeles. Where I should stop to refuel and where I should stop to eat?

[@cjs83172]

+Heitor Ribeiro My dad and I traveled from San Diego to Las Vegas in 2006, and on the way to Las Vegas, we stopped for lunch at a restaurant on Lenwood road, just off I-15 in Barstow, and there are gas stations there, as well. Coming back from Las Vegas, we ate lunch in the town of Baker, which is 90 miles south of Las Vegas and 60 miles north of Barstow. But when and where you eat and fill up should be determined by what time of the day you leave, because you're bound to run into a lot of traffic, whether it's leaving Las Vegas, between Baker and Barstow (especially approaching the Agricultural Checkpoint near Yermo), and of course, almost anywhere from the Cajon Pass (especially with the ongoing road work at the Devore Interchange, where I-15 and I-215 split) to any destination in the Los Angeles area as I-15 is the main north-south thoroughfare between Las Vegas and San Diego, and I-10 is the busiest east-west route, but I-210 (signed CA-210 at I-15), CA-60, and CA-91, which leads to Orange County (particularly Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm) and Redondo Beach, are also terribly busy with traffic.

how fast do you drive ? doesn't seem you do 70 mph.. @99hourvideos

[@pizzasubs]

I've driven to vegas many times and it never matters which trip it is, once I come in anbd I finially see the Hotels on the strip WAY out inb the distance, I always have to take the Biggest sigh of relief, knowing I have just drive 450 miles in whatever it is, 7 or 8 hours with maybe 1 or two stops along the way, my friends always tell me that I could probably make the whole 450 miles on just one tank of gas, but I just never want to push it so If I remember correctly, I usually one of my stops is for a fill up, you did a fantastic job on your trip, dont know what time you Left Los Angeles, but you made the 4 hour trip just as the sun was setting, best time to make Vegas........

[@YB90Gaming]

That is very hard to do because there is a large section stretching from southern Panama into northern Columbia that is completely undeveloped and contains no roadways.
