Answer
At five weeks gestation, you certainly can drive to Las Vegas and go on vacation.  Make sure that you stop the car every half-hour so that you can relieve your bladder. Drink plenty of water so you do not become dehydrated, and walk around to stretch your legs every hour.  There is nothing else you need to do. Enjoy your trip. Remember: NO ALCOHOL AT ALL.
