is a nicer drive, but you can get caught is storms during the winter.

Vegas has more freeway so during the winter the roads are usually better and lower altitude through Vegas compared to Flagstaff.

Done both and I think Flagstaff is also shorter.

Vegas is faster now with going around the dam, Flagstaff/Page is still a better drive.

I'm not sure it is really that much faster - maybe once I-11 is done.

Depends how much you speed. I can speed a lot more on interstate than one lane highways.

I wouldn’t say Vegas is quicker. It’s 60 miles longer
