Driving from Las Vegas to Anaheim on a Sunday

This thread has me thinking about our drive. We will be headed in the other direction Anaheim/Hollywood to Vegas on a Saturday(Sept. 17th). Should I anticipate heavy traffic in that direction?

We drove from San Diego to Vegas on the Saturday after Thanksgiving just this last year and it was great! The traffic coming the other way was horrendous, but we had no problems.

The CA to Vegas drive is fine any time. We like to like it real easy to get into Vegas and hard to get out.

Shouldn't see much traffic. Most Southern Californians head this way on Thursday or Friday, and leave Vegas on Sunday.

The only thing you have to worry about is the Yermo check point.

Whether you’re a Las Vegan hauling the family to Disneyland or a Californian heading home with a Sin City hangover, the agriculture inspection station in Yermo is anything but convenient.

On a weekday, it means briefly slowing to a crawl as you kick that banana peel farther under your seat. On a Sunday afternoon, it means an extra hour or two behind the wheel as you curse and resolve—again—to leave early next time.

Yermo is 102 miles from the California/Nevada border. Though drivers can be cited and potentially fined up to $2,500 if they bypass an inspection station, online forums offer up a number of alternative routes to avoid the delays.
