Then on to Vegas. A few days in Vegas then stop at Hoover Dam on the way to Laughlin. A day or two in Laughlin if you like to gamble and like old Vegas, then on to The Grand Canyon for at least two nights Then move South about two hours for a night or two in Sedona. Head East to Santa Fe & Taos. After New Mexico I can't help any more.

Like your itinerary but would change the order and add some things:

Oregon Coast
East to Crater Lake, Ore
West to Ashland Oregon and the Shakespeare Festival
South West to Hwy 101 thru the Redwoods
South to Healdsburg, Sonoma and Napa Wine Country
South to Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur
East to Yosemite
Southeast to Mono Lake (over Tiago Pass) & Vegas
South to Grand Canyon & Sedona
North to Zion, Brice and Arches (stay in Moab)
South to Santa Fe & Taos

Probably needs at least three days at each location with a day of travel between each.
