Hi all,

a buddy of mine is turning 40: I barely remember 40 now... sniff[IMG]images/smilies/cry.gif[/IMG] He wants to celebrate in Vegas, so a bunch of his friends are going down to help him make a happy (drunk) fool out of himself[IMG]images/smilies/grin.gif[/IMG] Well, they're all flying ('cause they don't own MINIs). But, I'm driving[IMG]images/smilies/thumb-up.gif[/IMG] I've run a mapquest search for the most direct route which seems pretty mundane. But, I know a bunch of ya have just come back from AMVIV and I was wondering about a decent route to and from Vegas that wont take me to far off the beaten track. So I'm looking for road suggestions. Looking forward to hearing from y'all!

BTW, I should mention that I'll be traveling from San Jose, CA....

Cheers
