Redeem for 2 roundtrips (with stopovers) within BC/Alberta/Yukon. Or for 1 North American reward. Get them to give you $600-$800 for the tickets (which normally would cost $1200-$1500 net of the $100-$200 in redemption fees ).

Voila, you have a good chunk towards your Vegas trip. And your friend, who would ordinarily be forking out cash for the tickets, gets a good deal.
