Thanks for posting the pics though!  They're all good.  
Kenny... I did the LA to Vegas drive back in January but I did it at night.  That doesn't mean it wasn't interesting though.  When you cross the state line it's like you're coming into a space station with the two border casinos, and then about 10 miles out of Vegas you start to see weird lights on the horizon.
I did the drive from Vegas to Phoenix several years ago and it was very cool.  If you can, stop for the night at the Grand Canyon.  It's time well spent!
