Vegas...ok. The Eastern Sierras...wow. Why drive through this world class area? Yosemite etc. is the western side. Try the eastern side too.

If Vegas is just to see Vegas, I'd much prefer to explore the Sierra.
Take Tioga pass over then have some lunch near Mono Lake before heading over to Bode. Then go North, taking a road either into South Lake Tahoe or North Shore. The Tahoe trip would give some of the feel of Vegas but still be in a world class, alpine area. Reno and Carson City are ok - in fact - they are probably more reminiscent of "classic" Las Vegas.
The Walker River will be extraordinary this year and will be a reassuring site through a good part of the trip.
