that doesn't boost my comfort level about driving there in my own car....

either case, i'm taking my Honda to Vegas... i'm not taking the Benz there... after taking the CLK to palm springs, I had a *****load of rock chips, so no more long trips on the Benzo...

As you know I just drove the CLK to vegas this past w/e and boy was it fun. I had the cruise control set at 105 and I actually hit 130 at one point. Some of you may not think that's all that fast but for me it was fast enough and fun enough too (BTW, I did all this while my wife was fast asleep in the passenger seat ). My point is that you should take the CLK, much funner to drive on the 15 than a Honda, IMO.

that is true... it be much more bling bling to take the Benzo... but maybe I'll win the HUMMER H2/E500/Cobra at the casinos and just drive that home instead... and just ditch the Honda at vegas...
