I went on a cross country trip from Texas to California and from Texas to Wyoming last summer. WAS AWESOME.
There are a bunch of 'scenic byways' which are just breathtakingly beautiful to drive through. Just take a GPS and whenever you get tired, locate the nearest motel. It's really easy.
Wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Do it, you won't regret it. And I even did it when gas was like $4.
Going through the rockies, especially, is just amazing. Might be a little different now that snow is setting in though, just a caveat.

dont drive I-90 in the dead of winter!!!...saw my life flash b4 my eyes on tour a few years back...always love taking the northern route from east to west in the summer and the southern route heading west to east in the summer/spring months...done this trip many times over...it's a great time but being cramped up in tight quarters can be a bit numbing at times....especially if u aint gettin along with the ones u r travellin with
did the drvie to vegas again this year...was 26 hours......just like stated before, can be rough, if u arent getting along great with your road partner....good music helps, but man it can get old....sounds like u are planning more sightseeing, which probably wouldnt be as bad, as you wont be in the car for hours upon hours, without breaks...if u are stopping at places and taking your time, i would imagine its alot better..
Appreciate all the thoughts so far.
I am intending to take it easy. Maybe stop for sporting events if possible, spend a night in the larger cities (cleveland? Pittsburgh?) enjoying the nightlife... I really want to be prepared but at the same time leave myself the ability to be spontanious.

michigan to vegas
also michigan to las angeles
did it back in the 70's i could never do it again........i had a blast........
Just did this last summer. Iowa, Nebraska, and Utah was terrible to drive in. The mountains around Denver was cool. Hell it was June and it was snowing. Take your time. No need to drive at night. If you plan it out right you can stop at casinos on the way.
