So for LHR-LAS which is currently £85 or £170 it would fall to £71 or £142 from 1 April.

I don't believe that's entirely correct. The APD bands are defined by the distance from London of the capital city of the destination country. So US airports (including Las Vegas) have always been in band B: currently £69 / £138, destined to be £71 / £142 next year.
