From our Las Vegas travel guide
Not a realistic substitute in most cases, but worth knowing because people ask. Las Vegas is roughly 270 miles from Los Angeles on Interstate 15 — about four hours when the road is clear, and notoriously much longer on a Sunday afternoon when the whole of Southern California is driving home. It makes sense only if you are already in Southern California, or if you want the car anyway for desert driving. There is no passenger train between the two: Brightline West is under construction but is not expected to carry passengers until the end of the decade.
