The short answer: about 450 miles — roughly a 7-hour drive up US-95, or a one-hour flight. Here’s everything you need to plan the trip or the move.

~450 mi
Distance between the two cities
~7 hours
Drive time, mostly on US-95 North
~60 min
Nonstop flight, LAS to RNO

Drive or fly?

Both are easy. The most direct drive heads north on US-95 through Tonopah and Hawthorne — open desert, so fuel up and pack water, and plan for about seven hours without long stops. Prefer to fly? Nonstop flights from Harry Reid International (LAS) to Reno-Tahoe International (RNO) run about an hour. Either way, pack for the weather — Reno sits at higher elevation up north, with cooler temps and possible snow in winter, a real change from the Las Vegas Valley.
