My vote would be Las Vegas to Susanville, highway 36 or 44 to highway 5 to Salem, then go west. Don't worry about all that desert, you'll get rewarded with more green once you get to Oregon. It's not a good idea to marathon that long a drive. Avoid LA area, it's a nice place to see, but not from the freeway, plus, the rush hours traffic will not help in keeping a peaceful adventure.
The best overall advice I can give is to sit down with a basic map and make a PLAN and stick with it. Watch you speed as you enter smaller towns. Stop and stretch often. At the first signs of fatigue, take off your shoes and drive to a rest area and either nap or take a half mile jog. Excessive caffeine will cause fatigue and hinder your ability to take power naps. Best to buy a big jug of water to keep hydrated. Pack a roll of TP. Reward yourself with a beer or two AFTER your mission.
Safe travels...
