There's a lot of history to be found between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. From the Sagebrush State to the Golden State, in times prehistoric and the modern era, there are myths, legends, and absolutely wild lies that make up the legacy of both. On this trip, venture outside of Vegas to explore the long history of Nevada, with its massive public works project in the Hoover Dam, the gold rush trail, and a little modern art that explores how towns like Vegas color the desert landscape. And in the California leg, take in some sweeping vistas, visit a museum that holds the secrets to a time when it was a playground for America's wealthiest vacationers, and drink with the rich and famous.
Make sure your vehicle is fully charged before starting this trip.
