Play play play! As many people and tournaments as possible. That way you won’t be as nervous when the time comes. And most of all be confident you are going to win before you start. If you aren’t confident, no chance you are winning the 
I do nothing other than attempt to play on similar equipment beforehand (BB vs 9ft), and might swat at some more balls on average. In the case of Vegas, I do nearly nothing more than the usual. I hate the fact that the tournament gets in the way of my yearly vacation...lol

#1 good sleep night before, I had a play til your done tournament recently and went in with 4 hrs of sleep, 9pm I was bad tired, by midnight I was seeing funny and missed a few I shouldn't have and between midnight and 5am when I was done... zombie and don't remember much
#2 similar equipment and game practice as said
#3 for me is I don't play at all the day or two before the tournament so I go in kinda missing the game, the added Excitment always helps me

If you do not think in your mind your ready to place. Don’t go.
Unless it to be in Vegas, that has become too pricy.

dont take much cash and leave your plastic at home
Treat it like any other match/event. Do your same routine(s).
I do other things while waiting for the matches to be on Youtube.
Do your homework on equipment. Table, cloth, rails, cue ball type. I dig in and find out as much as possible then copy it at home. ESPECIALLY the cue ball that will be used. You need your eye seeing the same thing.
