Me and my missus did a similar trip recently (october).
We stayed at the Hard rock Hotel, a lovely hotel but way off the strip. As said above the Mandalay looks lovely.
As for the drive we went from LV to San diego then fron San diego to LA.
The drive to san deigo was freeway, so a bit boring but we had fun. The plan was to visit death valley on one of our 'off days' but wee spent that at a pool party instead.
You drive through death valley to get to San fransisco. Which sounds a epic drive. Then you can drive down the coast to LA. Which is stunning (we took a day from LA and drove up the coasat for a bit).
San diego was a higlight of the trip for me, a stunning city with a fair amount of things to do. A really relaxed friendly place, with a lovely mexican influence. I loved it
The drive from San diego to LA was lovely too. We went up the coast, the views were amazing.
We stayed in LA for 7 days which we felt at the time was too long but looking back on it, we didn't have to rush anything. We had a few days out at the beach (santa monica, Zuma, huntington) and time to visit universal studios (which id reccomend).
In LA itself theres not a huge amount to do but it was fun to find new and interesting resturants/bars (rainbow grill and house of blues we the favourites).
I hope this helps in some way!

Dude, you ain't going on "that trip" believe me
lol my bachelor days are well over
I wish I'd been here in those days and possibly Prague and the Dam!! : but I know if I did it would have been a bit messy with the people i know
We did San Fran - Vegas, through Yosemite National Park and Death Valley (it was raining 
) - an overnight stop in Bishop.
Well worth that drive
On the way back we went to LA and that was a lot less interesting, although LA itself was great.
The first time we went to the grand canyon it was foggy - the second time (a year or so later in March) it had snow in it. So much for the Arid state!
Hotel wise, on a budget NYNY was good, as was Excalibur.
