Route 66<\/h2>\n<p>The stretch of Route 66 between Los Angeles and Las Vegas may be relatively short, but it offers a rich tapestry of unique sights and attractions. As you embark on this historic journey, here are some noteworthy places to explore:<\/p>\n<p>Victorville, a city in the Mojave Desert, boasts a Route 66 Museum where you can delve into the highway&#8217;s history and significance. Nearby, Elmer&#8217;s Bottle Tree Ranch presents a whimsical art installation featuring a &#8220;forest&#8221; of metal &#8220;bottle trees&#8221; adorned with colorful bottles and found objects.<\/p>\n<p>Further along, Amboy reveals the dormant Amboy Crater, an intriguing volcanic formation ripe for exploration. Roy&#8217;s Caf\u00e9 in Amboy, with its retro diner and iconic signage, offers a classic Route 66 experience.<\/p>\n<p>In the Mojave National Preserve, the Kelso Depot Visitor Center serves as an informative stop, detailing the region&#8217;s natural and cultural heritage. Nearby, Zzyzx Road leads to Zzyzx Mineral Springs and Health Spa, with its unique historical backstory.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Calico, California&#8217;s ghost town<\/h2>\n<p>A 10-minute drive from Peggy Sues, you can visit the ghost town of Calico, which will take you back to the days of American westerns in just a few minutes, or even several hours if you like to take your time.<\/p>\n<p>Restaurants, bars and parks are all on the agenda. If you&#8217;re a fan of photography, you&#8217;ll be happy to do it in a setting worthy of American films! Summer can be very hot (July and August), so with young children not the best time in my opinion.<\/p>\n<h2>Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>The 5 activities presented above are enough to make the<strong> drive to Los Angeles<\/strong> and enjoy very nice stops! Do not leave it for the last minute, rentals can be very expensive in Los Angeles, from Hollywood to Manhattan Beach.<\/p>\n<p>When is Los Angeles, take a take to read my advices about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/things-to-do-los-angeles-48182018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>things to do in Los Angeles<\/strong><\/a>, enjoy !!!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-left kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;241&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;3&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;5\\\/5 - (3 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Los Angeles to Las Vegas Road Trip Guide : 5 things to see !&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;138&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 138px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">\n            5\/5 - (3 votes)    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you planned to make the drive from Las Vegas to Los Angeles?
