Upon Landing in LAS I will be going out immediatley on a Stag Night - so need all the sleep I can get!
So... Do I book Economy Plus, or First for this small sector. Don't care about the food, just want to get on board, be left alone and sleep for that final hour.
Also, do you think that EK may check my bag all the way through to LAS? I know I will have to to the US immigration clearence, but just seems easier to take it off one belt and onto another!
Thank for any advice!

If you can't normally sleep in a coach seat, I'd go for F. They are nice, big reclining seats and should provide a nice place to sleep. Note, however, that you can only have them in the reclined position for the 40 minutes or so between takeoff and landing.
Edited to add: F is usually not full on this route, so you might save a few $$ by snagging a 24 hour upgrade for $50 rather than buying it flat out. No guarantee of an F seat but this route has some good odds. Check the FAQ on how to do this.
