San Diego to las Vegas Nevada

Now that summer is over? It was 114 at places in the Central Valley on Monday. Where in California is summer over? :)

Jean cassino want trucker's bussines and offer huge parkings.
At Primm cassino I have seen corner boulders with lot of scratches on them, so although management might allow parking, it might not be that easy.
I DID like to stop at Jean going to LV for dining as they offer affordable buffet with home-style meals, but lately converted it to Denny's. :S
Still $1 tap beer and live music on weekends is hard to beat.

Yeah, but I think everyone figured out that Prim was really Primm. We have stayed at both but wish the RV park had not closed. The dry camping is good so parking at either location is no problem. We have only stayed in Primm but have never heard any issues with staying in Jean.

Looks like misspelled them both, but you can't miss them on the route.

Better parking in Jane, but more attractions in Prim.

Jean?

Well, I'm gonna break from the pack a little. I've lived in Temecula (off the 79 exit off Hwy 15) and we've driven our rig from San Diego (40 footer) many times up the 15. You will run into horrendous traffic during rush hour, but other times of the day are fine. Fridays are worse, all the way to Vegas. No doubt. But do-able, especially now that summer is over. (Go figure, people actually want to go to the desert in the summer). I have driven to Vegas thousands of times (never in the rig), and I've always taken the 15 right on in. Never went on the 215. 215 is two lanes most of the way, and won't save you any time. None of it is white-knuckle driving as long as you don't do it during rush hour. If you leave San Diego about 8-9ish, you will be fine. Don't worry. You'll be fine. We got stuck in the 15/91/210 traffic on a Friday during rush hour into Van Nuys (L.A. - way worse), and we were fine. Towing our Jeep.

Stay out of either route during prime rush. Avoid Friday at all cost unless you get thru early in the day. I would go straight up the 15 fwy both routes are under construction. You may hit slow traffic between the 91 and the 210 on the 15

This is why I suggested that if, you absolutely have to use that route, do it in the middle of the night. Waaaaaaay less traffic.

Like rkentzel mentioned, if you are taking 15 it can be a parking lot all the way to Vegas on Friday starting around noon, and a parking lot all the way back on Sunday starting around noon. And I thought it would be better in the summer since I didn't think that many people would head from LA to Vegas when it was 115 in Vegas... I was wrong. They still go there. And don't go anywhere near 15 on a three day weekend.
