Pahrump to I-15 south

[wyatt earp]

We are in Pahrump, Nevada, staying at the beautiful Lakeside Casino RV Park. Prior, we were in Las Vegas at the Las Vegas Motorcoach Park. We took the 160 to Pahrump, but are considering taking the 372/178/127 south to connect to the I-15 in Baker. Seems to be a more direct route and cuts out the 50 miles back to Vegas.

Question is, how is this road? Baker to Vegas is a long up and down grade. Is there a grade using this route? My old Rand McNalley atlas shows it to be a "scenic" route.

What say you who have travelled this route?

Thanks,
Wyatt
