Does anyone have any travel tips for X-Country travel from Las Vegas to S.Carolina?
Me and my best friend will be traveling cross country be car from Las Vegas, NV to Greenville, SC at the end of August. We were thinking that we would stop at two points of interest for some fun...perhaps Mesa Verde, AZ, and Graveland in Memphis, TN. Any other suggestions for points of interest? Routes?

I'm from s.c. I really don't know where to tell you to stop but I will tell you to pack light clothes b/c it sure is HOT down here in August

Personally, I wouldn't miss out on Chattanooga, TN. Go to Ruby Falls Caverns and Rock City. It's beautiful. They also have a tramway up the side of the mountain in the city. It's just a beautiful place to go. It's also close to Stone Mountain in GA, and the Land of Waterfalls in North Carolina's western hills.

Stop at Eureka Springs in NW Arkansas.

Depends on what you like. I am quite familiar with the drive. Here are a couple ideas...remember that you will be on US 40 for the majority of the drive. Try Flagstaff Arizona and Sedona (including the Grand Canyon)...you won't forget it for the rest of your life. Sedona is just 20 miles south of Flagstaff and is considered the most beautiful part of the Southwest. Memphis is a great idea...stick with it...and you might like Nashville too if you like Country music...it is very pretty there at night. Other thoughts: If you get a chance and don't mind getting off 40 again...try Taos New Mexico....outdoorsy...green....pretty...lots of outdoorsy things. Also it is 1 hour from Sante Fe which is my top two favorite places to visit in the US. (Sedona is first) In North Carolina ...(before you go south on 95) try Emerald Point for great Water Park Relief. It is right off of 40 and is a great way to spend the day in Greensboro, NC. Also....Asheville NC is beautiful. Try going to Biltmore Estate for food, wine...gorgeous place. Just google it. There are lots of things to do...;but these stand out in my mind.

Jadortha said it all. The only thing I would point out thought is that it is called Graceland not Graveland. Probably just a Freudian slip. No offense to the "King", but Graceland (or as you call it Graveland) is the tackiest place on the planet. PS-Dress light and take plenty of Baby Powder ( I used to live in NC), You'll need it.
