We did something similar going to Atlanta in 2006 or so. We left at 9pm Tuesday night and arrived in Atlanta around 1pm. Don't expect to get much sleep however.

The bus company changed drivers at about 2AM somewhere along the route. That driver stayed with us the whole time in Atlanta - we had to pay his hotel - but was able to drive us around there.

The trip was reversed going home - left after wrap party on Saturday night.

It really wasn't much cheaper than flying in the long run. But flying was cheaper back then!
