Los Angeles to Las Vegas is one of the most driven road trips in Southern California. Millions of people drive between the two cities each year, and while most just do the drive fast, there are tons of fun places to stop along the way. Here are 25 of my favorite stops on the road trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.

Last time we stopped by the Bottletree Ranch a few months ago, we just had to lift the chain link that keeps the gate closed. It wasn’t locked. We went in and took photos, left some donations in the wooden well, and put back the chain link to close the gate on our way out. If not mistaken, there was a small sign on the gate at the time that said guests are welcome to come in that’s why we went in.

Were from Northern California(San Jose) so its a 8 hour drive without stopping except for food and gas. We drove Feb 2020 just before all Hell broke loose, the pandemic, and it honestly seems like 20 years ago because of all the life changing stuff that's happened. We have reservations for this February again and I look forward to the drive and hopefully things will be more back to normal again.

I loved watching this. I was born in Barstow and much of my family still lives in the area. It was nostalgic seeing all of the things that you mentioned. I’m glad you brought up Dell taco! LOL we are very proud of that. Another yummy thing that locals like to do is get the secret sauce and mix it with their hot sauce and use it to as a dip for our fries and whatever else. I grew up going to much of these places but there are a couple new places I haven’t yet been to. Thanks for putting this out! I loved it!

Wow! I’ve literally have been making this trip from Simi Valley to Vegas since 1984, when I moved from Vegas. Then in 99 I moved back to Vegas until 2009. During that 10 year period I was making the Trip at least every month, I would always take the 14 to Pearblossom Hwy to the 18, into Victorville. Which is a nice little trip in itself. But I never knew of taking the old Hwy 66 from Victorville to Oreo Grande and the neat things there! I knew the rest of them because I’ve made the trip a 1000 times. In the late 90’s I would always stop(both ways) at the Lenwood exit where the Outlets at Barstow is. Right before the Outlets was a Starbucks, I believe it was one of the first ones in that whole area. Nice Video! 😇

Seen most of these, cool, but definitely do it once sort of thing. The Eddie World and the Chevron are quite interesting, never been to either, large gas stations haven't really seen them in CA, seems more of an out of state thing. Got my CC info stolen at the gas station in Baker near the thermometer definitely had a CC scanner. Usually stop at Victorville Costco to get gas now. I will say though, as a Californian, who has only seen Cracker Barrel on road trips, there is one in Victorville. Those chocolate cakes and fried apples are worth a stop.

These two are not like any other DelTaco. If Del Taco is not in your wheelhouse any where else you should stop here and have the original Barstow Taco.
