That is a lot of distance in one week Jeepw99. We are driving the RV pulling our jeep toad.Thanks for the places to see.
When I did a driving direction from Good Sam and MapQuest here is the way I was routed. I-10 to Mobile, AL, then 84 to Jackson, MS, I-20 to I-30 around Dallas then 287 to Amarillo to I-40 through Albuquerque then 93 to Vegas. Not sure why they are routing me this way any ideas.

Just got home from a trip to Salt Lake City, where we go often to see family.
This is the route we take as far as Amarillo, then head north from there.
Looks like a good way to go to Vegas. Have been that way also.
A week seems generous to me, but everyone is different.
Only change I would make is go I-20 all the way to 287 North, and go through Fort Worth instead of Dallas.

I-20 to I-30 around Dallas then 287 to Amarillo to I-40

Sea Level Ram is correct about this. I-20 loops south of Dallas and is much better than taking I-30 through town.

For my part, I take a wider berth around DFW. I get up to US 82 at either Paris, TX or Sherman, TX. You have to go up that far north to avoid the congestion in the routes around the Metraplex.

Just to give an example of this strategy: you could take US 69 near Tyler all the way to US 82 at Bells near Sherman. US 82 will merge with US 287 at Henrietta, TX and on to Wichita Falls.

But, if you want to go via Dallas, stay on I-20.

On the trip back I would stop at Pala Duro Canyon State Park South of Amarillo

Thanks everyone for all the good info...if anyone else has some options please post.

Thanks
