I went down in 2009. It was packed, but I had allot of fun. They did still basically close the strip completely to traffic from Tropicana to around Desert Inn. Middle blocked by barricades with police in the middle so you have to cross at main cross streets. It was a fun experience, but I like the Mardi Gras party crowd kind of thing. (Everybody needs to do it once.)

Best bet is to figure out where the activities you want to see and do are and park and enter from the casino that is closest to that point on the strip. It is quite slow to move from place to place once you are out on the strip due to the crowd.
