Hey guys.. I'm leaving OZ on the 15th of october to hit up good ol' usa!

Anyways i got a question... first 2 and a bit weeks we are staying at beverly hilton and then bellagio in vegas ( halloween better rock!! ) and we check out of bellagio on the 2nd of november. My question now concerns Car rental... money isn't really that much of a problem with extra costs and all that stuff, however to drive from LA/vegas to East coast... how far would you get before Roads started getting icey and snow and all that? Keep in mind i'm a queensland boy and the closest i've seen to snow is on the TV. But i have heard that driving on icey roads and stuff is pretty crazy.

Basically, after Vegas i would like to jump in a car and head to somewhere in the middle of the country or as far across as i can go before i have to worry about sliding off the road... :P

Worst case... how long would it take from vegas to Austin Texas?

any help would be awsome! thanks guys
