If you are just doing a three night stay I would not try to fit in GC, it is a full day just to sqeeze it in and really deserves an overnight stay. I would suggest, after such a busy trip that you just do Vegas itself, including old town, and fit in Hoover Dam, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of fire etc which are a !of closer if you get "bored" of Vegas itself. Family friendly isn't really done in Vegas any more but the jousting show in Excalibur is fun, the pool area in Mandalay bay is decent and if you want well equipped apartment accommodation rather than just a hotel room then the desert rose resort is worth a look which has very good apartments, if rather budget in pool/lounge facilities. NB these are all at the South end of the strip rather than the more " central" resorts already recommended which are a bit pricier but which, I would agree, are great resorts.
