I did this exact same thing driving from Chicago down to LA after graduation. Poker via No Limit only...Here was my route:

Chicago - played NL in the East Chicago boats
St Louis - Ameristar + Harrah's made for real good action
Kansas City - Isle of Capri and Harrahs in one day
ALL THE WAY TO VEGAS from KC...

South route might be better, Arizona has lots...
