Scenic Drives Through Nevada
Thursday 27th February 2025
Ready to hit the open road? Nevada’s highways pack some serious wow-factor beyond the Las Vegas Strip.
Grab your shades and rent one of our comfortable rides from Easirent USA’s Las Vegas branch – you’ll want the extra legroom for these jaw-dropping drives. From red rock canyons that look like Mars to wide-open desert highways where you can really feel the power of your rental, Nevada delivers roadtrip magic at every turn. Whether you’re looking for a quick afternoon escape from the casinos or planning a multi-day adventure through the Silver State, these scenic routes will give you Instagram content for days. Our team has mapped out the absolute best drives where your Easirent vehicle can shine. Just remember to bring your camera, because these views are too good to miss!
Valley of Fire Highway Just 50 miles from our Las Vegas rental office, Valley of Fire Highway delivers one of the quickest scenic payoffs you’ll ever find. Rent one of our convertibles to get the full experience as you cruise through waves of fiery red sandstone formations that look straight out of a sci-fi movie. The 10.5-mile drive through Valley of Fire State Park feels like you’ve left Earth behind – perfect for those Instagram reels that’ll make your followers jealous. Make sure to stop at the visitor center to grab a map, then hit viewpoints like Elephant Rock and Seven Sisters. Our tip: go early morning or late afternoon when the rocks literally glow red, and you’ll see exactly how this place got its name.
The Extraterrestrial Highway (State Route 375) Want to tell everyone you drove the weirdest road in America? Grab an SUV from our Vegas location and head northwest to the Extraterrestrial Highway. This 98-mile stretch cuts through some of Nevada’s most remote desert, with virtually no traffic and endless sky above. The road earned its nickname thanks to its proximity to Area 51, and you’ll find quirky alien-themed stops like the Little A’Le’Inn where you can grab lunch. The real star of the show, though, is the surreal landscape and those long, empty straightaways where you can really appreciate your Easirent vehicle’s smooth ride. Keep your eyes peeled – if you don’t spot a UFO, you’ll at least see some amazing desert wildlife.
Mount Charleston Scenic Byway When the Vegas heat has you melting, this cool mountain escape is just 35 minutes from the Strip. Rent one of our AWD vehicles and head up Nevada State Route 157 as it climbs nearly 8,000 feet into the Spring Mountains. The temperature drops about 20 degrees as you ascend, and desert scrub gives way to pine forests and alpine meadows. The 22-mile route offers several pull-offs with spectacular views of the desert valley below. In winter, you might even catch snow – a perfect contrast to the casino action you left behind. Stop at the Mount Charleston Lodge for lunch with a view before heading back to town in your comfortable Easirent ride.
The Loneliest Road in America (Highway 50) For the ultimate Nevada road trip experience, reserve one of our premium sedans and tackle the famous Highway 50. Running east-west across central Nevada, this historic route earned its nickname from Life Magazine for its remote stretches where you might not see another car for an hour. Don’t let that scare you – the 287-mile drive from Fallon to Ely cuts through breathtaking basin and range country, with small historic towns like Eureka and Austin breaking up the journey. With minimal traffic and wide-open spaces, you’ll appreciate why we regularly maintain our entire fleet for smooth, worry-free driving. Pack a cooler, download your playlists before you lose cell service, and experience the magnificent desolation that makes this America’s most infamous scenic drive.
