But if you\u2019re from SoCal, the average drive time between LA to Vegas is a little over 4 hours, making it the ideal drive for those looking for a little excitement. Known as the city of neon lights and outlandish personalities, it\u2019s no wonder why millions worldwide make the flight, ride, and drive to the glimmering spectacle that is Las Vegas. However, since many believe that the long stretch of road between LA and Vegas is full of desolate deserts with little to see, the drive becomes a race and not the adventure it should be. The many striking landscapes and wow-worthy attractions in between make it an epic road trip that few get to experience.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Will (@m.visuals), a visual storyteller, proved this during a recent collaboration in which he captured the best roads and attractions during an LA to Vegas road trip with a one-way car rental from Sixt. Armed with a luxurious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/ford-rental\/ford-mustang\/\">Ford Mustang convertible car rental<\/a>, Mike took an unforgettable road trip through the dunes and lava tubes of the Mohave Desert to the Valley of Fire.\u00a0Once again, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/travel\/los-angeles-road-trips\/\">Los Angeles<\/a> proved to be the ideal starting point for this road trip.

This legendary American highway is a cross-country route that begins in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/car-rental\/usa\/chicago\/\">Chicago<\/a>, Illinois and ends in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/car-rental\/usa\/santa-monica-ca\/\">Santa Monica<\/a>, California. It\u2019s one of the original highways in the U.S. Highway system. The fact that it ends at the Santa Monica Pier symbolizes how only the ocean can stand in its way. Though many today consider this route to be the quintessential American road trip, it played a large role in history. Particularly during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, during which severe dust storms and drought drove people from the Plain states to California. This makes the Pacific destination even more symbolic. There\u2019s more to say about this famous East-to-West migration path, but that\u2019s a conversation for another day.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1439\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1439\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1439 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/com.sx-magazine-wp.sixt.io\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/10\/Santa-Monica-Pier-Route-66-1024x655.jpg\" alt=\"LA to Vegas Road Trip Stop 1: Santa Monica\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/6\/2018\/10\/Santa-Monica-Pier-Route-66-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/6\/2018\/10\/Santa-Monica-Pier-Route-66-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/6\/2018\/10\/Santa-Monica-Pier-Route-66-768x491.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/6\/2018\/10\/Santa-Monica-Pier-Route-66.jpg 1140w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/655;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1439\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our desert road trip begins at the end of the historic Route 66<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Stop 2: <strong>Desert Vibes at the Mojave National Reserve<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The next stop on the agenda was the <strong>Kelso Dunes<\/strong> at the Mojave National Reserve.

People come from all over to hike up the crests to take in fantastic views. To hear the sand sing, it\u2019s best to visit when the climate is at its driest.
