Heyy guys/gals,

Me and a couple of friends are flying out to Vegas for a few days. We are also going to spend a few days in Phoenix and fly out of Phoenix.

We are planning to rent a car and driving down to Phoenix on a Monday Morning.

Looking at google maps, they have 3 suggestions:

- US-95 (Which passes thru Vegas> Blythe, Cali > Phoenix) "6 Hours"
- US-93 (Vegas> Hoover Dam> Kingman > Phoenix) "6 Hours"
- US-93 & I-17 (Vegas > Flagstaff> Sedona > Phoenix) "7 + Hours"

Does anyone have real experence taking any of these routes? If so which is the fastest, and/or Most Scenic.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

 

I drove from Phoenix to Las Vegas on my 3000 mile road trip this summer.

We took a longer route, because we had heard that the roads north of Grand Canyon were beautiful.

So my route was: Phoenix -> Flagstaff -> Page ?> Fredonia -> Las Vegas.

Here is the full road trip:

- US-93 (Vegas> Hoover Dam> Kingman > Phoenix) "6 Hours"

this would be the faster route IMO

but if you would like to go sight seeing in northern AZ i would take this sedona i soooo nice!! and flagstaff is pretty cool- US-93 & I-17 (Vegas > Flagstaff> Sedona > Phoenix) "7 + Hours"

there isint nothing!! to see in blythe! :thumbsdown:

Depending what time you come i will be in Phoenix shoot me a PM if you want to get together with a fellow E60 member

 

- US-93 (Vegas> Hoover Dam> Kingman > Phoenix) "6 Hours"

This is the route I take as well. We usually make it in closer to 5 hours going 5-10 over posted limits.

 

IMO, doesn't matter what road you take, just open that e60 engine up. Be safe and watch for the "fun" police.
