I do have question about flying to Vegas from Phoenix. How long will
that take with a Cessna single engine?

My flight planner says it's 364.4 nautical miles. Planning for cruise of
10,500', a '68 Cessna 172 will take a little over 3 hours to get there at 2,700
rpm.

How much does it cost to rent a
plane for that kind of trip (rough estimate)?

I don't know prices in that area, but I can rent a 172 in New Jersey for $78/hr.
