Driving from Los angeles to Las Vegas at Night. Challenges during the Christmas and New year?

I will land at John Wayne Airport and plan to drive from orange county to Las Vegas over night . hwo safe / how sensible would it be to drive during the Christmas Week to the New Year. I’ve heard there are long stretches of deserts with no gas stations ? suggest

Take the 405 N to 55 E to the 91 E and then 15 N.
Avoid driving this route between 3 pm and 7 pm it will crawl until you get out of the city. The driving time is actually 5 hours with one or two stops at truck stops for refreshments, gas. A good rest stop is at Lenwood road with fast food places, truck stops, its almost halfway there.
