They Said SFO to Las Vegas? Then This Hidden Shortcut Blowed My Mind If you’ve ever considered flying from San Francisco (SFO) to Las Vegas but didn’t think twice about the 500+ mile journey, you’re not alone. Most travelers assume it’s obvious—SFO to LV is just the logical route via highway. But today, a thrilling alternative emerged that completely changed how I thought about travel: a little-known shortcut that made the SFO to Las Vegas route feel mind-blowingly faster and smarter than anyone ever told us. ### Why No One Mentioned This Hidden Shortcut When planning a trip between two major West Coast cities, the usual route from SFO to Las Vegas typically includes the 270+ mile drive via Highway 80 or Highway 50—time-consuming, traffic-prone, and sometimes tedious. Travel guides and flight dotted lines rarely highlight a secret freeway desconected path from the northern Bay Area that cuts clearly into southern Nevada’s Highways 95 and 95 via a less crowded corridor.
