Title: LAS VEGAS

Does anyone know the practicality of cycling for California, maybe from LA to Vegas and camping there for a week or so?

I've seen people cycling up to Las Vegas from the LA area.  It is approximately 275 miles depending on where you start.  Once you get past the Agricultural checkpoint (past Barstow) you will have to ride on the shoulder of the freeway until you get to Jean, NV (about 20 miles from Vegas proper).  Not sure about camping but there should be something in the near by Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

I don't think the KOA in Las Vegas has tent sites. I've heard that Circus Circus has cheap hotel rooms. You'd have to check both of these.
