  I would look at Fiberhub,
  It doesn't route via LA for me.
  Using Fiberhub's Looking Glass lg.las1.as53340.net/ and the various IP from Cox's Las Vegas subnet 24.120.0.0/16

  Try 68.1.1.101. You need the full route, the traceroute implies that the packets are getting dropped before they enter Cox's network

  Cox user here and I’ve noticed the same thing.

  LV locations never worked out well for me.

  Cox has a DC local to you in LV. They have a cloud product similar to DigitalOcean / AWS / Linode. They aren't as cheap as the aforementioned providers but have great peering when on their network. They also have 12 months free of a decent spec LE VM and Container or a $250 credit, similar to AWS. https://www.coxedge.com

  Wow I didn't know about this. I don't really mind pricing much since this is for a yearly event that lasts a few days anyway.

  Thanks a lot!

  hmm the coxedge thing mentioned above seems interesting. It's honestly hard to avoid it routing through LA because its just such a big hub for West Coast.
