Drive 7 hours or fly 5?

Have a trade show in LAS. TUS-LAS driving is about 7 hours. (Drive a Prius so gas is about $20 each way. Could also fly AA but that would be TUS-DFW-LAS or about 5 hours in the air.

Advantages to driving 1. My own car in Vegas. 2. More direct trip.

Advantages to Flying 1. Miles!!!! 2. No hassles with having a car in Vegas.

Disadvantages to driving 1. 7 hours of Windshield Time. 2. No miles other than Credit Card and hotel.

Disadvantages to Flying. 1. Go 2 hours East then 2.5 hours West. 2. have to arrange transport from Airport to hotel



Which way to go. (without including WN since the idea of flying would be to get more AA miles.)

Or am I just obsessed with miles.
