The driving distance from Calgary, Canada to Las Vegas, Nevada is:

1,312 miles / 2 111 km

15 hours, Average speed = 140.7 km/h.

17 hours is 124.2 km/h.

That's with no stops. Are you accounting for the time change?
It is nearly impossible to avg 124km/ph. Especially with the border crossing and SLC. From the border go with this. 10hrs to SLC, 1-2 hrs through SLC if your lucky (go through at 3am it's quite then)and 5 hrs from SLC to get where you are going. That would include stopping for gas only and driving 80mph +/-, which is the speed limit in southern UT.
