Drive across the Rez to Kayenta, then get on 163 thru Monument Valley, drive the loop in Valley of the Gods, up and down Moki Dugway, check out the Goosenecks of the San Juan along the way, then continue north and get on 191 just outside Bluff UT and continue to Blanding.
Have you ever been in a Joshua Tree Forest?
2 ways to see one, one along the way:
Option 2: see above, except from Las Vegas, take 95 south. In Searchlight, NV, take a detour westwards to see the trees, then continue south until I-40, rest is as above.
Option 3: Get on I-10. Take a left after San Gorgonio (it's either Morongo or Morena Valley, and go towards Twentynine Palms and into Joshua Tree. Check out the overlook across the valley from Palm Springs and the Joshua tees and awesome rock formations along the way, and drive across the Park and come out on I-10 at Cottonwood. I'd then turn off I-10 at Desert Center (IIRC, I type this from memory, and keep in mind, I'm a desert rat who likes driving thru miles of dirt and creosote...  ), checkerboard north/east thru the desert and check out Amboy Crater before you get on I-40. Grand Canyon etc. as above. |
i like driving through the desert too. not so sure about the  maybe time to get the ac recharged.

Las Vegas is awesome. Plenty to do/see without gambling. The peoplewatching is awesome, but the finer aspects of this may be lost on the kids. But the sea of lights as you come in at night on I-15 sure is something...

The light show is better when you come in from the north on 95.

ooh, Las Vegas, ain't no place for a poor boy like me
ooh, Las Vegas, ain't no place for a poor boy like me
every time I hit your crystal city
you know you're gonna make a wreck out of me
well, the first time I lose I drink whiskey
second time I lose I drink gin
third time I lose I drink anything
'cause I think I'm gonna win
ooh, Las Vegas, ain't no place for a poor boy like me, no
ooh, Las Vegas, ain't no place for a poor boy like me
every time I hit your crystal city
you know you're gonna make a wreck out of me
well, the queen of spades is a friend of mine
the queen of hearts is a bitch
someday when I clean up my mind
I'll find out which is which
ooh, Las Vegas, ain't no place for a poor boy like me
ooh, Las Vegas, ain't no place for a poor boy like me
every time I hit your crystal city
you know you're gonna make a wreck out of me
well, I spend all night with the dealer
tryin' to get ahead
spend all day at the Holiday Inn
trying to get out of bed
ooh, Las Vegas, ain't no place for a poor boy like me
ooh, Las Vegas, ain't no place for a poor boy like me
every time I hit your crystal city
you know you're gonna make a wreck out of me

There is a trucker pull out near Corn Creek that is a great make out spot.
You could pick up Wolf Man Jack broadcasting from Mexico back in the seventies.

If you need me call, me on my cell phone. If you don't have the number, there might be a reason for that.
