About how long is the Vegas Strip to walk whole thing? (More than a mile?)What is best transportation to use if we can't walk the whole way? (Husband has Parkinsons) if we drive our truck to strip, wi...

Everything on the strip is stretched waaay apart and there's miles of walking involved. Heck, just getting from one side of the street to the other seems like a mile! Intersections have pedestrian overpasses and also escalators & elevators. The bus is a good way to save walking.
If you have a 4x4 truck, I'd forget about using a parkade. We nearly got ours stuck in the Venetian parkade and DW had to walk beside the truck while I crawled along as there was barely any clearance to the roof. A couple of hotels have surface lots. Harrah's next to the LINQ has a parkade with valet service and they could park our truck okay except the valet guy wasn't exactly pleased to be the one stuck with parking it. Find a lot that works for you and then spend the day getting around by bus and/or monorail. Just walking around some casinos and the LINQ can be exhausting so plan your time and don't overdo it.
There's a monorail along the east side of the strip behind the hotels that can take you as far south as the MGM. There's also another on the west side and IIRC doesn't run as far north/south.
If you're there for the first time and able to drive around in a vehicle, it's amazing (and almost shocking) how different the world is just a block away either side of the strip. The strip is a fantasy world like you're on another planet! We camped for 5 days at the nearby Thousand Trails CG and had a lot of fun.
