How to Spice Up Your Roadtrip to L.A.
Most Las Vegans know the drive to Los Angeles all too well. Whether you are escaping the heat warnings (in September?!), visiting family and friends, or wanting to touch the ocean, the 4-hour drive is almost always easier for locals than tourists going the other way. While you think you may know what lies in the desert between the two cities, there’s a lot more than meets the eye! To encourage you to make the most of your next journey, co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler are joined by Hey Las Vegas editor Rob Kachelriess to share their favorite hidden gems and secrets along the I-15.
