It depends on what your priorities are, really.

CPW is so much more than just a visit; there are tons of fun activities just for prefrosh, plus you get to meet all your fellow '11s. Plus, there are dorm tours and free food and tons of other sweet stuffs. However, that can also be a bad thing - if you want to really know what a campus is *really* like on a normal day, a visit outside of CPW might be better.

One solution might be to visit Stanford during Mardi Gras, even though you won't know if you're admitted. However, that's a lot of money for possibly no reason. Your solution actually sounds pretty good, if you're willing to choose school over the awesomeness of CPW! Or if you want a more "real" view of the campus.
