Peg and I will be in the Phoenix area visiting family over Xmas and are considering driving up to visit Vegas for New Years, it is our anniversary, and where we got married 9 years ago.

Question is at Xmas time what is the best, safest, fastest route to get from Phoenix to Vegas? Is 93 the best highway to go, or should I stay on I-17 to I-40 and over?

I have never driven either of these roads in the bus nor in the winter, so I was hoping for your suggestions.

Thanks,

Gary S.
