Not all of this is strictly competitive advice, necessarily, but quality of life things:
DO Hydrate. Assuming you're not coming from a desert climate, Las Vegas is extremely dry. Not keeping on top of your water consumption can wear on your stamina over the three days (particularly if you're also planning on imbibing adult beverages). Also, the venue has a strict "no outside food/beverages" policy, so consider bringing empty container to fill inside the venue (tap water is in the bathroom and they usually have water coolers stocked).
DO make sure you're getting some sitting in. Although a lot of players' instinct is to stand for all phases of every game, taking the time to rest by sitting when you aren't directly interacting with the game can save you a lot of energy to carry you through the long weekend. Generally speaking, you're going to put a lot of miles on your feet over the weekend. Walking from your room to the convention, walking to get food, walking to the bathroom. Nearly everything you want is going to require a walk to get to and it adds up over the weekend. Get the rests where you can.
DO bring comfortable walking shoes. For the reasons above, you're going to be doing a lot of leg work and your feet will thank you if you plan accordingly.
DO Consider bringing a rolling cart for your army. Table space is limited to basically just the game board, with very little surface area to devote to storage during game, basically, you have the floor (danger of getting stepped on and added work to stoop and grab things) and, unless it's been moved elsewhere, a single chair (but that also takes up your sitting space). I saw a few people with these carts last year and I was super jealous at how convenient it was.
DO know that the catered food from the venue is probably the worst option, historically. Although I'm certainly open to the possibility that they'll improve this year, the lunch catered by the venue was so understaffed and slow last year that many people couldn't even get from the back of the line to the front in the time given for lunch break. Personally, I just ate my food in line and paid for the empty trays just to make time. There's a food court in the basement of Bally's that almost certainly is faster, even if it requires a short walk. Alternatively, there's always the in-casino convenience stores if you only have time to cram a candy bar into your face before heading back.
DO Consider your Sunday plan and how you want to spend it. Unless you're in the top tables, the 40K Championships end on Saturday. There is a Sunday event for players who don't make top tables, if you wish. But you need to ask yourself if you want to spend that time playing or enjoying the rest of the convention and/or Las Vegas. Personally, the first few years, I would always join in the Sunday events...and would end up feeling MISERABLE by the end. Too much drinking. Too little sleep, etc. I learned my lesson that I'd rather spend Sunday enjoying the city with my teammates and relaxing rather than pushing on for a third day. It varies person to person, but the last thing you want to do is drop early on Sunday. Better to play it safe and plan the day doing other activities.
The best way I've heard it dealt with is paint whatever the fuck you want. Pick your favorite chapter or make your own, but make it consistent and make your legion. A few exceptions, of course, make your Damned Legionaires look dope, etc.
​
Then, you just buy a pack of these, and whenever you actually play just color code by tabbing the bases, and write down a clear chart and make it easily visible and accessible by your opponents. For example, Yellow = Imperial Fists, Blue = Smurfs, so on and so forth. However you want to assign it.
​
Lets you easily communicate different abilities and legions without having to paint everything something different. Lets you stay flexible and cohesive!
I own a tackle box like this (I got got mine ~16 years ago):

Perhaps that would fill your needs? I remove the bottom 2 drawers to allow room for books/papers and one of the fliers I own (Valkyrie) The top stores 4 LR, Basilisk and Ogryn. The top (lid compartment) has all my dice, tokens, and glass beads. But I suppose you could also remove all 4 trays and use the bottom for transporting the really big stuff and store the smaller models in the upper compartment.
72 x 36 for $62.91 before shipping
2 pack of 72 x 18 for $169.99
Struggling to find a 6x4 but 6x2 is pretty cheap and common, you can likely just tape, or wedge them together short term.
I recently bought some Austor dice, and have found them to be pretty balanced. See https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074DQZGY3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This chess clock is the most common one I saw at LVO.
What about Chessex 12mm dice? Would them being twice as big make them any different?
In the past I used a tray. My next tournament I'm using this I'm tired of not having space to put all my shit.
