Baja, specifically Tijuana, is 2.5 hours down I-5. I wouldn't suggest going unless you really want to. It's too tourist trapsy. If you do go, don't go alone and be careful.
Vegas is indeed 4-5 hours away, but can be as much as 6-7 hours on a Friday night and on the return trip on Sunday. Vegas for a weekend is fine, that's the way most of us visit. I like leaving early Friday and returning early Sunday to beat the traffic. Even if you don't like to gamble there is plenty of stuff to do.
