lake havasu city If your company has booked a convention for Las Vegas this spring, and you want to see more than the insides of casinos and hotels, think about a day trip to Lake Havasu City. Going to Lake Havasu City from Las Vegas is a beautiful drive, and traffic is not all that bad. To get to Lake Havasu City from Las Vegas, find Highway 93/95, and go south. Once you leave the Las Vegas metro area, you will drive past a few casinos as you approach Hoover Dam, and see a sign for Highway 95. You need to turn right on Highway 95 to get to Lake Havasu City, and you will lose all the traffic once you get on Highway 95.

From there, the drive to Lake Havasu City is easy, and you could use your car's cruise control for most of the approximate 135 miles between Las Vegas and Lake Havasu City. There are not many places to get gas or other supplies during this ride, so bring lots of drinking water, and some for the car's radiator, as well, just in case. The temperatures in this stretch of Nevada and Arizona are high in the spring and summer-sometimes in the low 100's, and during the summer, in the 110's. The drive is beautiful, and the geology is absolutely striking, so treat yourself to some desert viewing from the air conditioned comfort of your car on your way to Lake Havasu City.
