The novel states that Fredo was under heavy sedation after the shooting and Sonny and Tom said to keep him out of everything.

It also states that he was sent to Vegas to recuperate and scope out the ground for a family casino there, not to set things up for that move. At the Don's meeting, Vito learns that his son has a knack for running a hotel.
