I suggest renting a car. Try Midway Car Rental at LAX. Rented from them several times and they are awesome. Great prices too. Lowest cost I've ever gotten was $15/day and highest was $30/day. All cars less than 12 months old (last time I got a 2014 Corolla with less than 500 miles on it). Ymmv of course, I usually go during low season. In my experience, calling in gets you the best price.

Drive the 1.2 hours to San Diego if you have the time and visit the San Diego Zoo.
A lot of spots where the HOV will actually save time off your commute is now for fastpass holders only unfortunately. Commuting in LA sucks lol

Taxis in Vegas generally cost $10-$12 each time with the trip to/from the airport costing around $15. Careful of the drivers, they often try to convince you to take longer ways to "beat traffic." Had a few taxis end up charging closer to $20 due to malicious ways. Some of them will even purposely keep the meter off and charge $20 flat rate lol

Food in LA can be had for cheap depending on what you want. Average $15/person should be more than enough for nothing fancy

Vegas food is much more pricey but there are restaurants that can feed you for $15-$20 as well. Bacchanal buffet was pretty good but costed $150 for two
