Rt. 93 Kingman Az. to Vegas

How is Rt. 93 between Kingman Az. and Vegas. It looks ok on the map.

  • yup- use it all the time. Last time 3 weeks ago. Still flat, still boring and still the shortest route.
  • We did it with me having 2 broken bones in my elbow.....and no cast. :) :) Good road -- our preferred route.
  • Other than a couple of 20% grades and 13 hair-pin turns, it's a piece of cake. If you run into trouble, you can utilize the "runaway truck ramps".

    Seriously, we just drove it at Christmas time. There are a couple of moderate grades on each side of the Colorado river, but other than that, it's simple. One word of caution is to watch your speed. There are some serious speed traps, especially when you get on the Nevada side near the Hacienda Hotel and Casino, Boulder City, and the Railroad Pass Hotel and Casino.
  • Hey, barring a meteorite strike, you should be able to drag any TT with any TV, no matter how underpowered it might be. Mostly 4 lanes, mostly straight, what slopes there are will be gentle. No sweat, pleasant trip, try not to fall asleep at the wheel for lack of challenges.
  • We just made this a round trip two weeks ago. Perfect road...little boring, but nice highway...plus you get to go over the new bridge at Hoover Dam.
