Why would one go to that dump, OH wait, you're going from Cali, I understand now. I wouldn't think there would be much difference. I do go to the airport quite a bit.

We were wondering why 100’s of vehicles we’re getting on the freeway in Yermo, I think, near Newberry Springs from the east & west sides. That caused a huge delay.

Want a real Eye opener. Drive North from Fremont Street towards the racetrack on LVB!! It will literally scare the bjezus out of you.
We rolled out of circus circus rv park a few months back heading north on Las Vegas blvd towards downtown .. Holy fuck it was like the walking dead. Crackheads stumbling around the streets everywhere.. scary shit we got the hell outta there FAST!!

Between the strip and downtown is somewhere you really don't want to be.

SUX! We left Redlands at noon, we’re not even at Baker yet 🤨🤨
Had a relative drive to the beach from Vegas this morning to attend M-I-L's celebration of life memorial, then turn around and head back to Vegas around 3-4 o'clock.😖

Driving to Vegas from So Cal. Be sure to get in the left lane and go 72 miles an hour. Never check your mirrors, never use the right lane.

I hate that drive, so many inconsiderate drivers with no clue how traffic works.

I thought it might mean Between The Strip.
Many Colleges already had their Spring Break.
Must be High school and below.

No shit. On way to powell I stopped just north of town to get kids food. Have always stopped before or in town. I went in with teen kids to watch on them and then back to truck to keep eye on stuff. I seen some tweekers walking by one guy had a pipe in his hand.

I chambered a round in the 10mm and kept eye on them as they were nearby they suddenly turned sharp and changed directions I just kept hand on gun inside truck. Gun was tucked under a clothes bag never showed it. Kids came out we got the fuck out of there my son was like cool we were in the hood 🙈

Should have seen so cal to phx weekend before x mas left Laguna at 8 traffic was heavy but moving 65-70 or so. Had a few ca plates trying to gain one car come racing up right lane then Gonna get slowed by the big rig then cut over into fast lane but hitting brakes trying to squeeze into that half car opening slowing the whole lane down to 50mph.

Repeat about 50 times rest of drive. Oh and Mask on driving cars too. 😱

I was happy to veer right onto the 40 yesterday in Barstow. The left lanes didn’t look fun.

I miss the good old days in Vegas when Food and Alcohol were cheap. We had so much fun, we would go downtown and play some cheap Roulette maybe some blackjack, hit Cheetahs.. I once met a stripper working at Cheetahs and brought her home. Man, those were the days.. lol

That road wasn’t the only one filled with fucksticks, I-10 going up Chiraco besides the trucks that come into the fast last doing 5 mph trying to pass the truck doing 3 mph, the asshole in the towing the toy hauler would not get out of the fast lane.

Not any better this morning, looked over at the 15 and dead stopped at least from Summit North. Probably the 3 years of bridge work.

Yes slots of fun in the 90s can drink 50 bucks worth of beers play 30 bucks on craps and 21 all night long. Think 120 bucks we did a weekend these days it’s more like 600 minimum and I’m cheap.

Get off the strip and hit the local restaurants and casinos if you want reasonable prices and great food and drinks.

Went to school at unlv 90-96. (Yeh smart asses I got a masters degree)

They hay day with unlv basketball and no cell phones, Cheetahs, Crazy Horse, Crazy Horse II, etc
I bought a house there in 2000, had it for a few years and loved it. It was in Henderson up again Black Mountain. Vegas had lots of great entertainment, eateries, etc. It changed a but but I still like it. Hard to beat HB where I am now but I wish I still had my Vegas house. One downside about living there is no neighbors are ever outside with their garage doors open.

I'm an early riser when departing to and from places like Vegas and the River. I would pull out of the Islander at 4am so I can drive across the desert before it gets too hot and avoid Vegas traffic at the 15. I do the same for Vegas I get up at the crack of dawn and make my exit as soon as possible.

I've noticed driving to work on Mondays a lot of Californians stay behind and drive to work from Vegas on Monday. You'll see a lot of California plates at 4 in the mornings on Monday.

We tend to stay over Monday and go home Tuesday morning. For us, it is dinner at Bootleggers and catching Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns there on Monday evening. Best deal on good food and great entertainment in LV.
