The return trip on I40 may not be the way to go. The last time I drove from the Arizona state line to Flagstaff I had some the worst chuck holes I have ever seen. Because of the heavy truck traffic you are unable to avoid the chuck holes.
Maybe the road has been repaired by now. Perhaps someone who has recently gone the East bound route can chime in.
If you do the I40 route I recommend turning north at Kingman and take US93 to Las Vegas. It is a good 4 lane highway most of the way.

so your suggesting I avoid US89/Page and drive further west to Vegas and then north on I15... some 220 miles out of my way ??
If road repairs are complete on 89, you should be fine.

Before you hit the road, I would check with ADOT, last year there was a land slide just South of Page that shut the highway down (anticipated over a year to repair highway) which would cause you to go OUT and around through the Grand Canyon area. It might be fixed by now, but something to consider. I had to go out and around on my Motorcycle, which wasn't horrible, but if your not anticipating it, could cause a headache.
