On a wednesday (i.e., tomorrow) what would you suggest the best time would be to drive from la to vegas, to avoid traffic?

No later than 10 am. Where in Los Angeles are you driving from?

Downtown.

Take the 2 up to the 134 to the 210 to the 15.

At 10:00, you'll have no problem taking the 10 east to the 15 either. You should be in Vegas 3 hours and 25 minutes or so after you leave.

This is correct. Much better than the 10. You can leave earlier than 10:00AM if you want, the traffic's going the other way.

Is it better traffic-wise, or is it a shorter distance (or both)?

I don't know about the distance, but traffic-wise it is much better.

Both, I think, depending on where you're starting.
