    With Covid19 boredom running at full force, I'm finding creative ways to occupy my time...

    I discovered that I am currently 1,442 miles from The Cosmopolitan as I type this in Spring, TX.

    Googlemaps says I can be there in 20 hours 51 minutes if I start driving now, 3 hours if I fly, and 466 hours if start walking.

    For those of you who can respond with "Zero" miles because you are already there, I am truly envious!

    5:41 to Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort.

    Edit: That's driving. I won't fly from here as I don't do Allegiant and we need a car on the other end.

    This was fun.

    From where I am now, which is my parents' home in Buffalo, to Encore Tower Suites, it is 33 hours by car, 3 days via public transit, 31 days hiking and 8 days biking.

    From my apartment in NYC it is 37 hours if driving and about 9 days of biking. The public transportation options include the subway, amtrak for most of the way and then greyhound from Colorado to Vegas, then a Lyft/Uber after that. The details are in Google Maps, which was interesting read, including the hiking and biking routes.

    It's 2531 miles in driving from NYC.

    I am 549 miles, 7 hours 44 minutes per Google Maps. Most people I know who've driven it say eight hours.

    As a solo traveler with plenty of options for direct 1:07 flights with fares from $98 - $225, I'm never gonna drive it. Even with all of the delays of airports, etc... I can be in my hotel room within 3 hours of leaving my home.
