Hey, good for you!! If your brother and (was it his girl friend or wife?) were available to go with you to Vegas Friday, maybe they will be available to stay with the kids Saturday???
As for talking with Gord, I imagine your chances would be 50/50. I'm not sure how it would work in a casino, but for other venues, folks have had success standing by the stage door waiting for them to come out. He is usualy very gracious with any fans waiting there. I was lucky in getting to go back stage when I saw him at Humphrey's back in 2000, but I attribute it to being in the right place at the right time with the right person
