The stretch post super bowl to march madness would be great.
Football season already brings in a ton of people to Vegas. Summer months are the slow season due to the heat. WSOP brings people out who otherwise wouldn't go AND, as mentioned, is the time people are best able to take off work especially if they used vacation time around Christmas.
You keep mentioning "sitting inside for a month." I'm guessing you must live up north somewhere where the heat and humidity isn't super oppressive. There are plenty of other areas in the country (dare I say more areas than not) where going outside in Summer is miserable.
