Doing the math on a few of the usual suspects ...

LAS $83 AI + $30(BE upfare) = $123 .. 820 mi
PDX $121 AI + $60(BE upfare) = $181 ... 1100 mi

Even trying to turn one of the LAS non-stops to a connect (for example through LAX) bumps the BE upfare way up to a higher AI price that the DEN nonstops

Looks like $161 AI to DEN and you're done !
Thank you!! Booking it now. And the extra miles may help with a SDC I may want to do at the end of the year. I had booked a longer route but now may be able to go shorter.
