It can be done if you have someone to switch off with. Don't do it alone.
Just make sure you have your smartphone and charger and a youtube app (you'll want to listen to something other than music for that long a time).
I watched 3 2 hour documentaries on various subjects and a 6 hour drive wasn't that bad at all.
And here is the key: DO NOT STOP TO HIT UP A HOTEL.
Drive straight through.
It is like removing duct tape from your skin.
If you peel it off slowly you're in for a lot of pain. The hotel stop is only prolonging the pain.
Drive all the way straight throuhg and when you get there you'll realize it wasn't that bad.
NOTE: If you do not have a car with good fuel economy, consider otherwise. You need at least 25 mpg and preferably 30 to keep costs down. If you have 19/20 mpg, I would pass.

What are you trying to do? Save money, an adventure? Are you going to drive back?
Scal has good advice if you do drive. My advice is when you get tired pull off at rest stop and nap it out for an hour or two then continue. Only stop for food when you are also stopping for gas.

100% fly if it is over 20 hrs. I drove cross country with a friend this winter for the experience rather than flying. Holy garbage was that a mistake besides hitting up chicago and madison for a few days each. Maybe I'd be singing a different tune if I didn't do this trip in the winter. I hit snow storms in arizona, new mexico, texas, oklahoma, illiinois, ohio, wisconsin, and pennsylnvania before I made it. We no joke donuted 8 times going 70 mph on a highway in the first 2 hrs of the journey. Closest near death experience of my life. The car actually seemed like it was going to fly off the highway into the woods and pivoted and ended up going the right way on the highway without a scratch. It was like a scene out of planes, trains, and automobiles. My friend was doing the driving at this point. Needless to say, I drove 90% of the journey the rest of the way just because I was so rattled from that experience and couldn't close my eyes in comfort anymore while he was behind the wheel. Adderall pretty much fueled the rest of the journey and about 4 hotel stops. Once you include the price of gas, wear and tear on the car, food stops, hotel stops, etc you are probably spending less by planning out a flight a few months in advance. take route 66 and take your time if you do it though

I'd maybe drive cross country for the adventure, though I did it when I was a kid twice San Diego to DC and DC to Vegas and it's not THAT fun, but that's the only reason to do it in my opinion. Unless you're splitting the cost among multiple people you can fly across the country for about what it costs to drive nowadays with gas prices the way they are.

For me it's 4 hours. Longer than that I'm flying.

Scal is right though about stopping. Once you stop you realize it's a mistake so best to keep momentum and drive straight through if you have multiple drives as it looks like you'll have. Good luck.

If you are on no timeline and you don't mind stopping and going to bars in such in various towns. I suggest driving and seeing the sites around the country.....hint hint females
But it's costly to drive and stay at motels and money you blow along the way.
I am close to deciding if I am going back to Vegas from Arkansas and I am leaning towards just hopping on a plane and buying a car when I get there. I recently sold my ride, waiting on another and when I get it I am selling it because it will be 100% profit
I do know this on numbers.......
Last year at this same time I left to get started in Vegas....Long story but I was there a couple months and came back for some dumb behind job offered to me
Anyway....I met my cousin in Vegas then, He left from St. Louis driving and I flew out of Little Rock. He ended up staying one night a cheap motel and gas, food, and his trip cost him $250 ONE WAY.
I used priceline name your own price and got a ROUNDTRIP flight with fees and all for $223. Sure it made no sense to fly out of LR to the east coast to ATL then to Vegas but who cares when airlines were wanting about $450 for the round trip.
So in my opinion its all about what you have on your plate as far as timeline goes.
Driving would be an experience but if you drive through sh'ithole states like OK like mentioned above. Be careful and DO NOT speed or stick out because those POS's will pull you over in a heartbeat just to hassle you and scare you out of your rights if ya don't know em.
Key is and it's hard to do but do not smoke weed IN the car traveling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
QUICKEST way to de-rail your trip

Hard to say, I've done the Houston to Los Angeles and back by myself and thought it was torture. I've done several road trips from Texas to Pennsylvania and Texas to Florida with friends and had a blast. If it were a road trip with friends, why not ... give it a shot.
