6'1 about 258 currently. I do a lot of weights, but not cardio, tbh.

This brings up an excellent point. Time was never mentioned, so I think I will take advantage of some crazy timeframe, maybe 3-4am, with it being cooler and way less to deal with.

No..but only other route would be what? Making a right down Trop, then left on Koval, and then back up again at Sahara or Spring Mountain maybe? Seems like that would take off some valuable time.

Do you have to stay on the strip? Because if so, you need to be able to run 8 miles at a 10 minute pace to deal with the crowd and bridges that the strip brings. Also, its kinda hot in June.
Doable, yes. If you have no regular running experience outside of a mile at a time, I think you are an underdog.
At this point in time, I can do 2 miles without stopping. I haven't done anything over 5 miles in a long time. After looking more into it, I do have to agree with you, personally I feel like I'm an underdog here.
I think tomorrow I'm gonna go for a "trial run" and see where I'm at. I may need to adjust the time....I'd feel a lot more confident if I can get an extra 30 min.
