This may sound stupid, but I'm looking to take a vacation somewhere in the highlighted region (see pic.)
Where's the nicest place to go in said region?

I'd say the nicest in my personal experience is Dallas, Texas. It's a very modern city, some cool shopping centers and stuff. They've got an in-n-out, if that tickles your fancy.
There's a fuck-ton of highways though, and they're ridiculously high up. I didn't drive, but I'd hate to.

WHY CAN PEOPLE NOT MERGE
WHY DID THEY NOT BUILD THE MERGE LANES BIGGER/LONGER
GEORGE BUSH TO 75 (towards plano) IS HELL
Dallas does have the galleria and northpark (malls) which are great. Some good museums (the crow/dma/nasher).

Minneapolis if you're going between mid May through mid October
Dallas, St Louis, Minneapolis, Houston. Basically the big Metros in this area. Houston gets you the coast, though. Austin is good for fucking bitches. Time it with a festival or convention, that's be worth it.

I wanna go to Kansas City!

K.C. Panty Drop!

Minneapolis, Kansas City, Austin
You'll find what you're looking for
Ozarks!
Yea I'd say Minnesota might be your best bet. I'm more of an /out/ person, and I loved the boundary waters when I was up there a few years ago. Of course Minneapolis and St Paul are nice cities too. Nothing particularly special about them, but they're nice. Just don't go to Mall of America, it's really not that great of a place (even the amusement park looked lame, just in case you're 7 years old or something).
Also, is New Orleans deliberately left out? I had a great time there. Even the tacky, touristy stuff like the French Quarter were a ton of fun.

Robbers Cave in Oklahoma is pretty neat if you like that kind of stuff. Was a hideout for old wild west gangs, as you could probably infer.

Not a big metro nor tourist destination, but Fayetteville is very nice if you're into outdoorsy stuff
It's also very cheap
One more vote for St. Louis.
Dallas, Kansas City, and NW Arkansas if you're looking to see the outdoors.
Louisiana in the Winter! New Orleans (technically off the map by a few miles) is amazing!
The Northwoods region of Minnesota and along the Mississippi on the border with Wisconsin, south of Minneapolis, is absolutely gorgeous country. That, Dallas, and Arkansas are your best bets. As much as I want to shill ND all the good stuff is in the western half anyways
Houston does not get you the coast. Don't listen to that fucking idiot above. Houston sucks. Head down to Cajun country.

Are you a fucking lummox? Houston gets you the coast? Shut up, yah Donkey.

Houston is not far from the ocean.

Glorious NW Arkansas.
