Default Travelling Cross Country via Poker Rooms

I am going to be driving from Atlanta to Las Vegas in the near future. Instead of driving 10-14 hours a day and staying in flea bag hotels, etc. I was thinking I could hop from poker room to poker room and "play" my way across the country. I know that Tunica is a nice 7 hour drive from my house. So starting in Tunica going to Las Vegas, what Poker rooms would you hit up that are 6-8 hour drives apart, give or take.

Why would you want to do this? I think it would be easier/cheaper to fly to vegas and play all the poker you want.

perhaps he's staying on the west coast for an extended period of time.

this doesn't sound like he just wants to go play poker in vegas.

Can't see the fun in taking a road trip, seeing new places, meeting new people? So sad.

None of this was reflected in the original post. That's why I asked.

If you are going to stop in LV, might as well stop in Phoenix as it is about 6-7 hours drive from LV. Casino Arizona is the main room here with tons of tables and games spread except NL.

I want to do this because I am moving to vegas for an extended period of time (a few years or until I go broke and have to get a real job), so I will need to take my car with me... hence driving instead of flying.

From door to door it is about a 30 hour drive. I could hop on the interstate and drive 10-15 hours a day and make it in about 3 days, stopping at whatever hotel I find when I am tired. However, adding an extra 5-6 hours in exchange for a few days of poker in different poker rooms, and adding a little income along the way.... seems to be a lot more interesting of a trip. I don't have a specific timeline I have meet... so I might as well enjoy my trip.
