Hello:
This Sunday I am flying with my wife to pick up my first NSX
I will be flying into Las Vegas from Wisconsin. {My first time in Vegas
}
I will be staying overnight sunday in vegas, then going to Lake Havasu city in Arizona to pick up the car..
Our tentive plan is to Drive the NSX to Vegas ,stay another night (or 2), then start driving the 1800 mile trip back to Wisconsin. { from the Southwest to the Midwest)
According to mapquest, my route will be Las Vegas Nevada===>passing through utah==> Denver Colorado===> Lincoln, Nebraska===> Iowa= then finally Wisconsin.
Here are my questions:
1) Has anyone driven this route, any advice on what to look for (sites, towns,routes,certain state police..etc)? (My friend has driven to vegas from wisconsin, and he told me is that....you will have fun in colorado since its mountainous, good scenes, twisty hills...and that i should watch out for a stretch of desert after vegas (=100mi) where there is no gas stations? and that I-80 nebraska,Iowa = boring plain drive!).
2)Like i said, i am planning on spending 2 days or so in the Vegas-colorado area. (beginning half of the trip)... Then maybe stay one night-maybe 2 near nebraska-iowa (second half of the trip). This was i will break the 27 hr trip into a mini vacation of 3x9hr drive days.
3) Another possibility is to take the old route 66 (arizona-new mexico-ok-Missouri-il-wi) but that will be a bit longer route..?
I have travelled on long trips before, From Wisconsin to Tx, Tx to fl, fl to Wi, but never the southwestern route.
Any advice on this long road trip (specially from those who who travelled this route) will be mostly appreciated !!!
