From San Francisco to Vegas: by plane or car?

I need to be on 22 March in Vegas. Our family (two adults, one 1 year old child) are going to travel by car (rented) from Vegas to LA and further to San Francisco.

Would it be wise to drop off the car in Frisco and instead of driving back, take a one-way flight to Vegas? Would there be much more to pay for leaving the ar over there?

Any ideas how much the cheapest air ticket would cost (two adults %26amp; %26lt;2yrs child) or how long it would take to drive from San Francisco to Vegas? Thanks.

I would be very surprised if you wouldn%26#39;t find it cheaper to fly in and out of Vegas and rent and return the car there. It is usually much more expensive to rent a car one way, and it is more expensive to fly two one way trips than one round trip. Also, car rentals in Vegas are usually much cheaper than many other places in the country.

It would be even wiser not to call San Francisco ';Frisco';; the locals really hate that! :)

I would fly, especially with a small child along.
