I see what the OP is thinking- with a pool tourney the league pays you X amount for return airfare, and if you choose you can take the cash and drive down; giving you extra Vegas money. Then return airfare will be 1/2 of the two way airfare.

Unfortunately leaving a rental car that far away will cost you so much that it won't be worth it. Plus leave the idea of a road trip being "fun" out of your mind; most people who long for a road trip are people who haven't been on one. The best part of any road trip is the being away from home. Fly both ways and be done with it.

The other factor; let's say there's 5 of you going. Driving will take a full extra day to get there- how much money are you losing by not being at work an extra day? And don't say "oh, I have vacation time." Because that means if you take an extra day that's another day off you lose; and always put a value on your own time.
