There's a huge parking lot for the convention center. You enter the building where the rotunda is, so it saves a lot of walking. One downside is leaving late at night. There's no security and the size means it's easy for crims to hid and then rob you. Be aware of your surroundings and have a plan for what you're going to do if jumped. There have been robberies in that lot.

Space out your tournaments.
The daily Deepstacks can be great for a Rec but understand that they can last a long time. Entering one the day before your scheduled to enter an event tournament can mean you may not be at your best for it.
Example: A few years ago I entered a daily and ended up playing until just after 4am (yay cash). I had a 11am $1500 tournament scheduled and was not at my best for it. I had little sleep and just got done playing long the day prior. As a Rec im not used to that and IMO I just pissed that $1500 away for the small daily.
I really liked playing Daily Deepstacks, but in 2019 I realized what a time sink they are. If you're short on cash, they're probably the best poker value in Vegas. They're basically the same cost as an STT, but could well give you 12-16 hours of play. As you said, the next day is a write-off. Can't play any bracelet events unless you got knocked out of the DD early. I consider them 2 day events. I don't think I played any in 2019.
One thing they're good for is experimenting with styles because they're so deep stacked. There was a scandi-type that played mega-aggro. His stack was like a roller coaster until he spewed his last chips off around level 8. I've thought about trying something like that.
