Distance from Las Vegas Strip to Utah Olympic Oval

The driving distance between the Las Vegas Strip (Las Vegas, NV) and the Utah Olympic Oval (Kearns, UT, a suburb of Salt Lake City) is approximately 350 miles (563 kilometers).

Route & Travel Time

  • Primary Route: I-15 North the entire way (Las Vegas → St. George → Cedar City → Beaver → Nephi → Salt Lake Valley → Kearns).
  • Driving Time: ~5 hours 15 minutes to 5 hours 45 minutes without stops, depending on traffic in the Salt Lake metro area.
  • Elevation Change: Las Vegas (~2,000 ft) → Mountain passes (~6,000 ft) → Salt Lake Valley (~4,300 ft).

Key Stops

  • Mesquite, NV (border casinos, fuel)
  • St. George, UT (gateway to Zion NP, major services)
  • Cedar City (Brian Head access, Shakespeare Festival)
  • Beaver (historic fort, fuel/food)
  • Nephi (transition from mountains to valley)

Considerations

  • Winter driving (Oct–Apr): Carry chains; I-15 over Mountain Pass (NV) and Black Ridge (UT) closes occasionally for snow.
  • Speed limits: 70–80 mph (UT), 70 mph (NV rural).
  • No direct commercial flights between LAS and SLC serve Kearns specifically; SLC airport is ~20 min from Oval.
