2) Anyone know what Vegas is like on this weekend from prior years? I would assume it will be extra busy this weekend. What's the best strategy for getting rooms and choosing rooms on especially busy weekends? OR Should I just check out allvegaspoker.com and assume a typical weekend?
3) Does the competition change at all on weekends like this, and at what level is it noticibale, if at all?

Yes, it will be extra busy. And you will have to pay out the nose for a hotel room. Make your airline and hotel reservation early or you may have some trouble getting anything at all. Checking this very minute, for instance, The Orleans is sold out March 10 and 11 as is Circus Circus (just the first two that popped into my head in the inexpensive price range).

And yes, major events like this (most recent was the rodeo) bring in flocks of tourists who will happily lose their money to you.
