Best time to leave for Las Vegas? -

I m going from LA on Friday and I need to know what would be the time that I should head on the road.

I used to leave about 10 a.m. a little behind traffic so I could get into town early enough to roam around a bit and get settled in the hotel. It s about a four to six hour drive give or take depending on traffic and where you are coming from in LA.

I will leave as early as possible. You will be going against traffic heading out of LA. 9am - 10am. LA -Vegas traffic starts building up around 1pmhttp://www.lasvegas-how-to.com

I would say if you leave about 11am you should get there about 3pm, if your stopping at Baker to get gas and eat which i usually do, then expect around 4pm..

I moved from southern CA to Las Vegas. If me I would leave right after the a.m. rush. About 10am.

As soon as possible as you ll miss all the fun.

Did New York live up to your expectations? -

A lot of people seem to have an opinion about New York.....But for those that have actually moved there.......did the city live up to your expectations or were you disappointed?

Actually no. We expected much more during our trip. It was not as exciting as they make it out to be. it was pretty grimy too. The skyline was not as big as I expected, in fact I have seen bigger in other cities. There is no nice waterfront of any kind there like you get in Miami, Chicago or California. And it is just way to noisy and crowded.

I don t know why in the world these people are even talking about NYC like this, I don t think they visited the right spots. I live here, yeh sometimes it gets annoying ( mostly because of all the tourists that are always freakin standing and moving like ants and make me late to school !!!) but when i just stop to look at it sometimes ( to really really look at it) then I realize how cool it is. If you come here, willing to walk and explore, and spend money, then you will enjoy it. But if you just come, stay at the hotel, then go outside and expect everything to be there, then NO. It s really big, and there are a lottttt of places, too much to do. SO there is no way that people didn t find something fun to do.and btw for those who answered.. Nyc is crowded and dirty because of tourists (honestly)! New Yorkers don t have time to leave their garbage or stand around. ehh I think they should cut down on some of this tourism stuff.

I visited and was disappointed. I thought they had taller buildings and lots of them, but they really don t. I also did not like how dirty it is there, and the crowds always rubbing against you where ever you go. I can go on all day. was not impressed at all. wish I had gone elsewherewow! I thought we had a bad time there until I saw these other responses from others as well, so i guess it was not just us

I do not see why anyone likes New York. It is really dirty, really crowded and the people there are the most DEMANDING, impatient, rude azzholes I have ever encountered in my life. Also the prices are extremely high.

I love the city; for those who do not, your loss!

Not happy, your losses.
