If you are into or curious about firearms, or various military weaponry, then Las Vegas is one of the best places to be able to have first hand experiences with a wide variety of them. There are a whole bunch of places in or just outside of Vegas where between them you can shoot just about any firearm, past or present, including all manner of machine guns from around the world. One place also offers a helicopter ride where you get to shoot a machine gun out of the open door during the flight. Other things like flame throwers and grenade launchers are also available to shoot, light tanks are available to drive or crush cars with, etc.
If you are going to be there for a league event (or if you just want to be on or next to the strip in any case), many people aren't aware but there are some nice Airbnb's within a very short, easy walk of various parts of the strip. Depending on which venue/hotel the event is at or you want to be near to, there just may be an Airbnb that is just a few hundred yards away that is way bigger, nicer, and cheaper than staying at pretty much any hotel on the strip.

I did, but the OP is travelling with his wife and daughter, so his considerations are different. If he's going to do the non-Strip stuff, being near the Strip might not be useful. I like booking.com which includes all kinds of places. It is sometimes best to discover the hotel on a booking site and them call them directly. Booking.com sometimes gets deals that the hotel doesn't offer directly.
The particular place I found before a mile west of the Strip seems to have wildly varying prices depending on the dates.

Shit on going to a pool room while you’re there.The Wife said, "I'm not going to Vegas to play pool." I said, "I'm not either...but I'm going to."

I usually stop at Griffs and catch up with R Wiseman but I tend not to stay long, the action tables are right when you walk in and there's usually not many watching, once in a while you can catch a match for 100k + , always 1 pckt. More than likely not much going on.Shit on going to a pool room while you’re there.
Like you said, why spend time in a poolroom when you're in Vegas
Sorry didn't know his daughter was real young. Be cool to be there for the Swanee, a two day event if yah wanted to see some good play and just show up for the semis/finals.
She will be 21 in May. Stopping at Griffs would be a brief visit. If I'm in Vegas, I figured it couldn't hurt to drop in for a few. It certainly won't be what the trip is centered around, if I have any plans of remaining married.

Here's a thought for you J2pac you line up a spa day for the ladies and you go have a spa day at Griff's and take your cue along as a support system ! Ha ha
I'd probably just use a house cue. The less I have to pack, the better.
I used to love staying at the Vdara when I went to LV for work in the 2012-2016 range. It was one of the only non-smoking venues on the Strip, low prices post-recession and the rescue of City Center, beautiful rooms and views. Presumably the prices are no longer low.
