Need Road Trip Input
I am driving a Crown Vic (80,000 mile P71) from D.C. to Las Vegas on Thursday...
Looking for pros/ cons of taking I-80 vs I-70....
Any input is appreciated...

If your not afraid of the heat, why not go 81 south to 40 west and go north at Kingman AZ to vegas? Alot of mountains if you go 70. ALL the truckers take 80 - 15 to La La Land.

The stretch from Denver west to Utah along I-70 is spectactular. If you can do it in the daylight, and if you are not worried about the elevation changes, and the mountain passes that would be the route that I would take. Of course, that is the ONLY part of I-70 that is worth seeing.

^^^^ I agree! 70 west from Denver is so nice! This time of year it would be better than 80 hands down! Wyoming and Utah are pretty this time of year too, but nothing like the Colorado rockies
