  If you go the way that Yahoo maps [yahoo.com] suggests for Monterey to Vegas, you'll be driving right through World Famous "Kramer Junction", aka Four Corners, the place that proves that in the middle of nowhere, anyplace is someplace. The rocket ship that used to be out in front of the Astro Burger (IIRC) isn't there anymore, but you'll have plenty of time to wonder why Captain Beefhart used to live out there in the Mojave Desert, or come to understand why he made the music that he did :)

  And Randsburg [randsburg.com] would be slight

    Also, if you decide to go the Mojave route instead of Yosemite/Mono Lake, you may want to start the trip out by just driving south through Big Sur (where you should always stop for the photo op at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park [ca.gov]). Then if you feel like taking the short route to Vegas, you can head over from Paso Robles to the I-5, or head further south on the 101 if you feel like taking a longer route.

      The cafe at Lucia (a back patio table w/a view) was also a worthwhile stop last time I was there. That was years ago...the highway has been closed every time I've been back that way :(
