Realistically you can walk from NY NY to Cesars in under half an hour.. doubt you save much time driving | To each their own I guess, but just curious have you actually made the trek along the strip when it was 42-43°C?
I was there when the 2015 June heat wave hit and it was hovering over 40+. I was melting even being outside for a couple minutes... I don't think I would survive a 20-30 walk... full blast A/C in the car was a life saver!

I'm on the "car is a waste of time/money" boat
When you're in Vegas, you're either gambling, partying, or eating. All 3 of which aren't necessarily the healthiest when you're there, so the walking and sweating helps burn off all of that  I also think that walking the strip is part of the fun of going to Vegas, otherwise you're just going to any other city's busy touristy street i.e. Robson, Kalakaua Avenue, etc.

Don't get me wrong I don't drive everywhere when there but if I can drive to and from airport, usually make one trip to old vegas that's $80 in cabs right there. Even if I use the car one or two more times during my trip it's more then worth it IMO.

Lotus of Siam is delicious and even a couple of random Korean BBQ joints were dirt cheap, ghetto but super yummy. If you plan to eat on the Strip it's either buffets or big money restaurants.

November is SEMA
Spring & Fall are their best weather of the year.
Things a bit more expensive is normal.

Sometimes you gotta plan your Vegas trip around the huge conventions. Conventions = expensive flights, hotels, and more restaurant waits.

And that is really expensive for Vegas.

Like others have said, it's a long weekend, so the price is naturally going to be higher.
If you're really trying to save money when going to Vegas, avoid weekends altogether. Fri-Sat-Sun nights are always more expensive per night at hotels... but of course there's usually more going on there on weekends. Gotta pay to play. Vegas is not really a cheap holiday.
