Crazy to drive California T from Bay Area to Vegas for SB?

I've been watching the weather closely and part of me really wants to take the '16 California T to Vegas this weekend for the Super bowl. I'm not putting that many miles on it the last few years, and this weekend seems like a great opportunity to drive with a friend.

• Highway 1 had some mudslides, so this would be highway 5 to Bakersfield, Barstow, then 15 to Vegas.
• How is valet, parking, traffic going to be in Vegas this weekend?
• I've never driven more than 8 hours with the California. Anything to keep an eye on for the longer drive? I think opening it up a bit on 5 is going to be good for it given the low mileage this year (especially winter).

Earlier flight plans changed so its either this or finding a last minute United or Southwest flight and taking Ubers in Vegas.

Any thoughts?

 

Yea, booked the hotel a month ago and made restaurant reservations last night. Just have been torn on flying private, flying commercial, or driving the California.
