This is another request for advice from San Francisco to Vegas I'm afraid.I have checked what feels like the whole Web and I wish I had found this site first!!
I'm from the UK and will be spending most of my time in Vegas and SF but have a day and 1/2 each way driving and want to get the best out of it.

Sorry to sound ignorant but I want to go to vegas inland and back to SF via the coast stoppinf 1 night each way with 3 nights each end.

Firstly is this possible or am I deluding myself? and where are the best places to stop enroute that are reall reflective of the US and not too touristy???

Big order I'm afraid, any help would be great

Pete.
