Need tips / Advice about traveling to vegas and traveling with my cue 4 the 1st time.

Are you in shape? Can you walk five miles with no problem? If you are on the losers side of the bracket on Singles Sunday, you will be playing a lot of matches and walking a lot back and forth to the pool room. Your balance in your stance and your mental focus begin to wear down if you are out of shape. What I do before Nationals (because I am a lazy, sofa-sitting fat bastard) is to walk everyday for weeks before the tourney. If my feet start hurting then I go out and buy new sneakers and wear them in. It is amazing how much better I play when my legs and feet are not killing me.

Don't feel like getting in shape? Don't have the time? Rent a scooter. The casino will arrange one for you but you must call them ahead of time. Not expensive at all. About $25/day. If you have a medical condition (eg. bum knee) then ask your doctor for a note and you can take the scooter into the pool room. Otherwise you have to park it outside in the hall (which is not a big deal).
