You have three possible routings and Yes I have personally driven all of them
1)The most 3D
I-80 W >I-76W >I-70W >I-15
Flat and fast until you reach Golden CO on I-70
Then uphill to Eisenhower Tunnel>Steep downhill to Glenwood Springs CO & slightly downhill But otherwise fast to the St George UT on I-15
Then
Steeply descend the always awesome Virgin River Gorge
Once you reach Mesquite NV it’s very flat and very fast all the way to Las Vegas
2)I-80 W to I-15S
Flat and fast all the way thru IL>IA>NE >WY
Unless you’re actually looking at the
sign , you won’t notice that you’ve crossed the Continental Divide in WY>[ The same thing applies to the I-40 crossing of the CD in NM ]
When you get into UT you will have to do a rather steep and twisty descent of Echo Canyon on I-80 until you reach the jct of I-80 & I-215 and then it’s flat and fast until you reach the aforementioned Virgin River Gorge
3)I-55S>I-44W >I-40 W >US 93 N
Flat until you reach St Charles NM on I-40 W
Steep downhill to the Rio Grande River @ Albuquerque NM
Gradual uphill climb to the I-40 AZ Exit 178
Steepish descent to Ash Fork AZ
Flat and very fast until you begin the descent to Hoover Dam
Laborious uphill from the dam to about 5 miles east of boulder city and flat going into Las Vegas
Safe trip mr danger

I suppose you can drive all the way down to the Gulf Coast, and the along the coast and come up through Arizona. But now that I think of it, you'd have to drive through the mountains of Northern Arizona.
