Thank you.
You can check VS availability with a VS Flying Club account - you can just open one up on-line I think. Tho availability will be patchy as they use a low config J class a/c on that route from LGW.

But why go with VS? Iffy service/food IME, and for a load of miles too - no C+M with VS don't forget. Go to LAX with NZ and connect to LAS for 37.5k DC miles + Cash rtn in J. Way better value. Same seats+better food/beverage+better crews+less miles even if doing a full miles redemption.
