I agree with the above posters that there can be quite a bit of turbulence on the approach into LAS. The turbulence comes from two factors, the mountain currents from the hills to the west and the vertical currents from the heating of the desert. Least amount of turbulence is early in the morning when the winds are at their least and the desert heating has not yet begun.
