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!

EK will not be able to check your bag through.
It'll be really hard to sleep on such a short flight. If you really think you can get sleep, want to give yourself the best chance, and you can afford it, you definitely want to be in F. MCS (what you call Economy Plus) has the same seat width as coach, and the same recline. You get more legroom, and other stuff you don't care about. In F, you get very deep (electronically controlled) recline, massager, foot rest, etc. But like I said, I'd be surprised if you could sleep. You should also buy a pass to the Virgin Clubhouse. You can shower, and maybe catch some sleep there.
