So the total trip encompasses four calendar days, with 2.25 days spent in New York with family, and .25 days spent in Vegas total, and 1.5 days spent in transit. Connections are all very good - range from one hour to 90 minutes.
I would spend more time at Vegas, except I already have a weeklong trip planned in a couple of months so I need to save up for the tables for that trip

And a weekend in New York is long enough for me. I was planning to go to New York anyway so I get some value from that... The drive would be 12 hours vs 30 flying across country..
