If I just reserve a midsize and head to the LAS lot on December 29 or 30, what are the chances that I will be able to get a suitable vehicle?
On a weekend, in the middle of a holiday period? You might get lucky with a minivan, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
I'd suggest booking the midsize like you planned and see what there is, but also book a minivan or SUV (honestly I think you could get away with a Grand Cherokee, even). If you see what you need on the aisle, take it and cancel your other reservation.
