Start:  Denver (county), Colorado, United States
End:  Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
Total Distance: 759.1 Miles
Estimated Total Time: 11 hours, 50 minutes

The above is predicated on using I-70 west to I-15 south to Vegas.

There are really too many "scenic" places to see along the way. My favorites
come along when you get to about Frisco, CO, Then taking a "veer" south on
191 to the Moab and Canyonlands area. You'd have to stay overnight then
travel the 30 miles back north to I-70 from Moab and onto Vegas. You'll also
pass by Zions in the early season, on I-15, about 50 miles north of St.
George, UT, just before leaving Utah at the Virgin River Gorge. Some pics of
the Moab/Canyonlands area at the link below my sign.

Get a laptop computer, such as an Apple Powerbook or iBook. $1800 will
get you a base model which should be able to play DVD's will have a
bigger screen (12 inches) than a mounted system, better resolution and
is more easily transported. PC Laptops (low to mid range) are probably
similar. You can power the laptop off a convertor from the cigarette
lighter. Plus you can also put games on it to give a different pace
from the movies...

Denver to Las Vegas in one day is possible, I think.  I did Montrose to
the California line (past Las Vegas) in one day..and I wasn't trying to
make it as fast as I could. But it will be a LONG day (and certainly
isn't possible right now with the blizzard they've got...but which will
probably be cleared up by May...)
