We also took advantage of some tips from a good friend, and made good use of the Caesar's Total Rewards program to nab some great deals on rooms. Not only did we get several nights "comped" (free) in Vegas, we also got a comped room in Windsor the night before our flight, putting us closer to the border and Detroit airport for morning takeoff. Sounds too good to be true, but in reality, they would rather have two potential customers in their establishment than a room sitting empty.
I must also highly recommend Southwest Airlines - good rates, bags fly free, decent legroom, direct flight from Detroit, and fun and friendly staff (similar to Westjet). There is no assigned seating, so you board in the order you checked in (starting 24 hours before your flight) and choose any seat, rewarding those of us that tend to be early anyway. It also helps that Jane's peanut allergy qualifies her as "disabled", as they still serve peanuts for snacks on US flights.....which means she boards in the first group anyway, along with one "caretaker", namely ME!
I must also acknowledge the unintentional irony that we flew Southwest to indeed fly.....southwest. Humour for the birds, no doubt.
