The Strip is huge. Blocks are enormous. It's walkable, but be ready for long walks; if your health isn't up for it, you may want to be ready for a cab. Cabs can get expensive, but they're well regulated. Traffic on the Strip is atrocious, so I don't recommend driving. In general, if you can walk it, you should. The weather in October should be fine -- it's the desert in autumn, so it'll likely be dry and cool.
Friends and I went to Vegas in spring last spring, it's a blast. The good thing is you can also use the Strip-tram. I believe they have day passes but I can't recall right off the top of my head. It's not too expensive (but I'm also from SF so consider that what you will by my view of 'expensive').

If you're interested, budget for it. You will likely lose your money, but treat it as an entertainment expense. If you wanna sit at a table, roulette's good; it's my favorite, and it's fun to put chips down on the table and hope. You can bet on low odds ones -- for example, bet on the 50/50 (actually the 47% chance of winning) black or red. You need to specify if you're betting on those or the numbers. Most dealers will walk you through.
Cards are harder, but fun if you know how to play. I never did craps before. Slots are fun, but I find they're kinda like boring video games. I found table games like roulette are more fun. You can also do sports betting if you're down.
If you win, know when to walk away from the table. If you win a LOT -- and it can happen -- the hotel will usually start comping you stuff. This is so you'll decide, for example, to enter $10,000 poker tournaments. Do not enter $10,000 poker tournaments if you win several thousand dollars.
Most importantly: have fun! It's a great place to take a vacation.
You can also play penny slots and cheaper slots, lots of time if you're playing casino folks will ask if you'd like drinks. Most like sodas etc. are typically cheap if not free as long as you're playing. But keep in mind folks; you have to be of age to be in these areas.
Edit: Also I'm dumb I just realized you mentioned this XD
