Reno to Central KS

We will be traveling from northern CA to Reno in the next few weeks. I'm interested in any comments about routes from Reno to Denver. I thought highway 50 might be a good choice, but my wife says she is tired of traveling 2 lane roads.

    In a hurry, go 80. You want a great, journey, go 50

    What he said! Added bonus, you'll likely have a tail wind most of the way across Wyoming. As an alternative to going all the way to Cheyenne, you could take US 287 from Laramie to Fort Collins. While technically a 2 lane road, there's some 4 lane out of Laramie, and many climbing/passing lanes between the state line and Fort Collins. Good, easy drive that way and saves you some time and distance.
