East Coast to West Coast Cross Country Driving Suggestions?

Looking to drive from Baltimore, Maryland to Las Vegas in early April. Best route I can find seems to go from Baltimore-->Columbus-->Dayton-->Indianapolis-->St. Louis-->Kansas City-->Denver--> Vegas. It looks like its mostly on the 70, which is a plus since will be planning on taking shifts driving during at night as well. Google says its about 2,414 mi – about 1 day 12 hours. Does that sound about right? Also, any chance that we should take a different route due to snow?

Any suggestions?
