What is the best driving route from Las Vegas to Chicago?

I just got married here in Vegas and my bride and I were thinking we could make a honeymoon out of road tripping up to Chicago. I’ve never driven this long of a distance before so I’m curious, what is the best route to drive from Las Vegas to Chicago?

It sounds like you two are living it up! The best driving route from
Las Vegas
to
Chicago
is via highways I-70 East and I-80 East.
This trip is a long one—about 25 hours at a total of 1,747.5 miles. When you drive this route from
Nevada
to
Illinois
, you’ll cross 4 states in between.
Since you shouldn’t drive more than 8-9 hours a day, you’ll need to stay overnight a couple of times along the way. One romantic stopping point would be the ski resort in Vail,
Colorado
!
