Ua: Phl-sfo-las-iah-phl, $233.10.
Flights available January through May (M/T/W almost EOS), with May and weekends a little more.
I couldn't replicate on UA.com, so I used google.com/flights. It will show up as PHL-SFO-LAS-PHL, so you'd have to call in to split the LAS-IAH, IAH-PHL sections.
All of them seem to allow only same-day flights with a pretty short turnaround - I assume it has something to do with the fare rules (maybe a PHL-LAS RT?).

I didn't calculate the PQMs, since it will vary based on Premier Status (SFO-LAS is less than 500 miles), and YMMV on getting agents to split the segments. But it is well within MR range for the ones I booked.

These don't seem to come up from YVR, SEA a bit more. As far as where to look, where should i look!?
I keep track of the blogs, sometimes I'll just hit google flights start with SEA/star alliance/<$500 and just see if anything comes up...but I'm also looking for segs, so SEA-IAH-MIA isn't great, SEA-DEN-IAH-MIA is better but I have a hard time finding those kinds.
