What? I love this drive. You pass through like half a dozen small towns on the way like Quanah, Childress, Memphis, Clarendon, not to mention the Medicine Mound hills

We drove US-50 for a few hundred miles on and off, it is actually pretty scenic.
NV-140 in northern Nevada trumps all.
Seriously.
It's desert. No scenery, not even desert scenery. Like an 80mph speed limit. No services. One rest area.
And periodically, deer teleport in from a land where things actually live and leap in front of your truck for no good reason other than to stop you from doing 100 mph.
Not to mention, the people who live out there would make the average ascension parish trailer park dweller look around and say, "there's a bit too much meth and cousin fricking going on around here for my tastes."
If it doesn't qualify, I don't know what does.

I've been thinking about taking a road trip through Nevada since I don't know anything about the state besides las vegas and Tahoe skiing.

Besides the Ruby Mountains, you aren't missing anything. Seriously.

Eastern Oklahoma isn't bad, the drive from Dallas-Tulsa is nice
And to be honest, I don't mind the Fort Worth-Oklahoma City drive either

I know exactly what you mean. I worked in Elko for several months. I'd take the overnight train back and forth every two weeks to Colorado to avoid that awful drive.

Typical American. Would rather look at advertisements, concrete, and traffic rather than trees.

I am heartened by the half a dozen mentions of eastern Colorado. People forget that half of Colorado is like an especially boring Kansas.
Driving the Plains at night is less boring because the sky is spectacular especially if you have spent years in the city and it is also interesting to see what radio stations you can pick up when they all amp up there signals.
Driving through Death Valley at 1130 at night with it being 104 outside was the oddest drive I have had.

West Texas is horrible. Lots of nothing for long stretches at a time.
I-55 between Jackson and Memphis is incredibly boring. Nothing but trees and gently rolling hills. Very few interstate exits have anything. I-55 between Memphis and St Louis is just as bad, but the terrain is completely flat and void of any trees.
I-40 through most of Oklahoma is boring as frick.
Whatever it is that goes between Indianapolis and Louisville is pretty bad as well. There's one exit with a trashy outlet mall that comes out of nowhere. That's your break from endless boredom.

"Salina, Kansas to Denver, Colorado"
ding ding ding...we have a winner. Although I'd say more like Salina, KS to Limon, CO. You can at least make out the Rocky Mountains on the horizon once you get about 30 or 40 miles outside of Denver. Before that the stretch of highway is mind numbingly boring.

Getting out to El Paso is pretty damn boring.

You haven't driven across Illinois. 
Honestly though... the worst is a Tie between Fort Worth Texas and ElPaso or across Nebraska. Those are brutal. Patterson to Little Rock is a dream trip compared to those nightmares.
