The stretch to plan around on the drive from Denver to Las Vegas is 104 miles of I-70 between Green River, UT and Salina, UT, where OpenStreetMap shows no gas station within 2 miles of the road. It begins 345 miles from Denver; a typical car that leaves full fills up twice on the way, at Green River, UT (341 miles in) and Mesquite, NV (671 miles in).
A truck towing a trailer, at about 253 miles a tank, needs four: Parachute, CO (199 miles in), Green River, UT (345 miles in), Beaver, UT (526 miles in) and Mesquite, NV (671 miles in). There's a second long one: 58 miles from Loma, CO to 27 miles before Green River, UT. Clocks go back an hour on this drive, at a different place depending on the season: in summer as you cross into Arizona (636 miles in); in winter as you cross into Nevada (658 miles in). Arizona doesn't use daylight saving time. I-70 carries most of the route.

Driving back: Las Vegas to Denver
The drive back from Las Vegas to Denver is 749 miles too, and its longest stretch without a station within 2 miles is the same 104 miles, between Salina, UT and Green River, UT. The stops fall in other places, because the plan starts with a full tank in Las Vegas:

Three stretches go 45 miles or more without a station within 2 miles. A station missing from OpenStreetMap would make a stretch look longer than it is, and a mapped station may have closed, so treat these as a guide.
Stations along the way
OpenStreetMap lists 465 stations within 2 miles of this route. 194 of them are in the Denver and Las Vegas areas; of the 271 in between, the most are in St. George, UT (28), Cedar City, UT (21) and Beaver, UT (16).
355 of them have a brand in the data; the most common are Sinclair (48), Conoco (42) and Maverik (41).
126 of the 129 stations whose diesel status is tagged sell diesel; the other 336 don't say.
106 are tagged as open 24/7. Stations without that tag may still be open around the clock: the data can't tell.

How this page was made
- Route: from the centre of Denver to the centre of Las Vegas and back, each direction routed on its own, by Geoapify routing (fetched November 12, 2026). Fillerup asks for the route again when you open the trip, so its numbers can differ a little.
- Stations: every usable fuel station in OpenStreetMap within 2 miles of the route (private, disused and truck-only ones left out), from Fillerup’s station data as of November 11, 2026.
- Stops: Fillerup’s own planner, with the two vehicles above, each way from a full tank. Its picks favour stations in towns over isolated pumps, so a stop can come earlier than the tank strictly needs.
- The Denver and Las Vegas areas: within 46 miles of Denver and 44 miles of Las Vegas, the distance within which Fillerup’s route selection counts a city as part of the metro (it grows with the metro’s population), leaving out places nearer another metro’s centre or across a border.
- Not covered: fuel prices, opening hours beyond the 24/7 tag, road conditions, closures and detours.
