I've made a 130 by 130 block pyramid (at the base of the pyramid) in minecraft and have already made the floor out of quartz blocks with sea lanterns here and there. I would not like to replace this floor with slabs or glass, and slimes are spawning a LOT. How can I stop them from spawning while keeping the floor decent looking and simple to walk on?

I think it may be because the piston extension NOT BASE does not count as a full block, but it depends what type of elevator.
To see if you are on a full block or not press F3(PC), there is something saying g:true/false (if its true you are standing on a full block)
Light level does not affect skeletons despawning. There is no set limit on how long they can stay there, but they have a chance of despawning if you're further than 32 blocks from them, and will despawn instantly if you move over 128 blocks away from them.
To stop mobs from despawning, you can name them using a name tag, or set their "PersistenceRequired" tag to true using /entitydata.

Slimes spawn in particular areas ("chunks") below height 40. If you built the pyramid in one of these areas far enough down that they're spawning in the pyramid, you'll either have to change the game mode to Peaceful to prevent all monster spawns, or move/raise the pyramid.
Alternately, slimes, like many (all?) other mobs, only spawn on opaque blocks. You could replace the pyramid floor with glass or another block that can be at least partially seen through - or just the part the slimes can spawn in. Unfortunately, in a slime chunk, the slimes spawn regardless of light level, so simply lighting up the floor won't stop them.
Finally, if you don't have a planned use for that part of the pyramid, you could wall it off with glass and have a natural slime tank, like a zoo exhibit. Only about 1 in 10 chunks spawn slimes naturally, so unless you're rather unfortunate and centered the pyramid around the slime chunk, they should hopefully be spawning only on one side or corner, not the majority of the floor space. If you're adding floors inside the pyramid, the slimes will stop being an issue once you're above height 40, as well.
