Nevada in Oct

Hi. Thinking of visiting during our vacation in October. Trying to decide on if its worth going to Ely for 2 nights so we can explore Great Basin or not. We don't camp and I've already found that Ely has the better food options compared to the other towns near the national park. Is the park worth it? We normally pay to go on tours of national parks so we can sit back and relax while someone else does all the driving and goes to the best spots. The rest of our trip would be centered around Vegas and day trips from there (potentially including a day to go to Death Valley). Any insight is appreciated!
