I went with my mom, my aunt (her twin), and my mom's cat from Central NJ to Vegas. Left at Noon EST Wed, arrived at 5pm PST on Friday. In a crappy Chevy Tracker with a luggage carrier on the roof. We only stopped over one night in Indiana. We drove through the rest of the way, stopping for gas and food only. I did the majority of the driving, only sleeping when we stopped over and for about 5 hours with the help of NyQuil in the back seat.
If I could do it again, I'd take more time to stop off and see places.
My other goal is to one day fly into Denver, rent a car, and drive through the Rockies into Vegas. It was beautiful (we drove through in the middle of May, still lots of snow on the peaks). Only sucky part is that 18 wheelers were passing us in the crappy car.
Depending on how quickly you want to get back, don't stop for food one time, then gas another. Try to make them about the same time. Same for bathroom breaks. Of course, if you want to drag it out and take your time, do whatever you want, as far as when and where to stop.
Have fun!
