How long does it take to drive from Las Vegas to the border of Canada?

Question

We want a fun roadtrip to Canada, and we know nothing about it..so just to the border how far is it? And is there anything to do around the border? Whats the closest big city?

Answer 1

About 17 hours to the border. For big cities there may not be much of a difference between going to Vancouver (4 hours more) or Calgary ( 2 hours more). Both are fun cities, and might be worth going that bit farther instead of just to the border and stopping. But otherwise check out the Okanogan area (Kelowna, Penticton)

Edit: Checking out the options, if it were me, and having been to all the places I've listed, I'd head to Calgary. If it is an issue, the drinking age is 18 there. It is 19 in BC.
