I believe this will be in the same terminal (T4, though i think they are also in T6).
Would 1 hr be enough? The Vegas > LA flight is an early flight (depart 7:15a) if that were to make any difference.
70 minutes between a pair of AA mainline flights should be fine. By then, the T6 operations will probably have finished their move to T5, and your Vegas flight may arrive there. The 777 to Miami could leave from T4 or from TBIT. All three terminals are in a row and connected inside security.
Worst case, you're looking at about a 15-20 minute walk from T5→T4→TBIT at a leisurely pace; if you're lucky and both flights are in T4, it'll only take a minute or two.
Even if something
did go wrong with that connection, you're on one ticket and AA should be able to get you out the same day on a later flight.
