You will notice that Oren asked me how far away Reno was and
I answered him in "time" not "miles". He didn't flinch.
Yes, the West is a lot bigger.

"...There are 346 miles from Las Vegas and Reno and 452 miles by car.
Las Vegas and Reno are 8 hours 1 min far apart (by car)."

Driving distance 452 mi 727 km 392 nautical miles.

In other words, it is a long drive, BTDT. It can be boring, no cell
phone contact and sometimes few cars on the road. You could hit a cow,
a burro or a wild Mustang. Carry a gun...

It you stop to pee, stop at a bordello or get gas it can be longer
