This sounds like my kind of trip! I've visited all 50 states, mostly due to work, and have recently started to try to play poker in as many as possible... I would also propose a far northern route:

Gary (Chicago) -- several
Minneapolis - Canterbury
North Dakota - Deadwood
Montana's dealers choice bar room games (really unique experience)
Jackpot, NV (has poker? this is the ID/NV border)
Mesquite, NV (Utah/NV border)

On the southern route, you should also consider
Shreveport, LA - a couple
Phoenix, AZ (huge rooms)
even Tucson has a small room.
