Just a few things (oh wait - lot of things) you got wrong there;

PR still operate YVR-LAS; while not all YVR-MNL continue to LAS, some still do for example today's flight. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/P...233Z/CYVR/KLAS
US suspended the route in October, then canceled for good in Dec (http://airlineroute.net/2009/10/31/us-las-cuts/), not "a year or two ago"
DL don't/haven't operated YVR-LAS at any time in the last 10 years. In fact DL themselves only have seasonal service into YVR, relying mostly on OO to operate YVR-SLC

I did however forget about 5G/Skyservice, who have a few flights/week YVR-LAS

Other people who did operate YVR-LAS would include AS who dropped it a three or four years ago (when G4 started in BLI), and HQ/Harmony and we know where they went.

So what you're saying is that if WS didn't service LAS from more cities, the numbers would be different? No kidding!

I said the numbers are higher because they operate from more cities. Pretty obvious isn't it.

AC isn't leader in this market because its a market WJ has dominated in recent years. Just like Hawaii.

I also pointed out that WS (not WJ/Air Labrador who don't even operate on this coast) isn't the leader out of the YVR market, G4 are, flying out of BLI.
