The 777-200 replaced a 737 Max that was nowhere near full and was wide open for all fare classes when checking ExpertFlyer.

Again, just curious. Why would that tyoe of equipment swap take placd. Just thought it was odd.
The most obvious/logical -- particularly for a place like LAS is (1) anticipated special event/group traffic, (2) positioning for a charter, or (3) some large cargo requirement (COMAT or 3rd party)... How far out are you talking? (Days/weeks/months?)
