[FARE GONE] AA/US: PHL-LAX $236 ai RT (google flights)
O fare. OA21LRA1 / RQA7SJ2Y
Same-day turns available on limited days.
Sample date: 04NOV, departing PHL and returning on the US red-eye via LAS.
Note: this may be one of those rare domestic fares that is not bi-directional, i.e., it may only work ex-PHL with the US red-eye (non-codeshare) needed to make it work.
Also note: this fare probably won't show up with a 'casual' ITA search; you may need to massage your parameters.

You can route it PHL - DFW - LAX - LAS - PHL same-day turn
4950 but really 5214 if you're eligible to get the 500 min for LAX - LAS
Books on AA.com which means EXPs can request upgrades on the PHL - DFW, DFW - LAX, and LAX - LAS portions (LAS - PHL is the only US airways metal)

This sounds like a lot of those dirt cheap PHL/ZFV-LAS fares that were floating around in the last half of 2013.

So... for example, if you can find the fare as shown here with a same-day turn, just try adjusting the return LAS-PHL flight by a day at a time and see if the same result is achieved. Don't "take this flight, the reschedule" - book it with a few days in Vegas if that is what you want.

If you want just the roundtrip to LAS from PHL, you can fly out on UA for PHL-IAH-LAS and return US LAS-PHL for $228.50 for 4711 miles = 4.9cpm. Less miles, of course, but diversifying your portfolio!

I've been trying ... but can anyone do it roundtrip LAX - PHL (with stops is OK) on AA for similar price?

This fare is PHL-LAS (or LAS-PHL) with a connection (of up to four hours) in LAX. There is no way to start in LAX and use this fare. There might be a different fare in the market for LAX-PHL, but it would really not be related to this one.
