No, but compared with say NZ in J via LAX I wouldn't touch UA with a bargepole. Another alternative would be LX in J or F to LAX via ZHR.
As you say though, travelling in F on UA isn't a hardship and if I wanted to get to LAS, then I'd happily do it. I would personally try to get NZ (J), LH (J), LX (J or F) ahead of UA.
