Pros: close to Vegas.. That's about it
Cons: imagine battling an icy unmanaged road littered with trash and tourist and traffic to get to pay to park shortly after a brisk 2 mile climb to the main area.. Guaranteed 1 hour minimum wait for any info.. Oh you will be in line with a bunch of pissed off angry people.. I waited over an hour just to rent a pair of boots which had holes in them and laces were junk but they were full price.. The lift ticket was 70$ the runs were about 1/2 mile long and the snow was thin in most spots.. If you fall it's going to hurt.. Pack a lunch also they will charge 12$ for a disgusting burger.. Oh it may be a "40" min drive from Vegas.. It's not when there are 10000 cars leaving on a 1 lane road, road is icy, covered in trash.. Lots of drunks.. If you decide to come here a tip bring everything you will need including lift ticket
