120k miles for $1400, worth it?

So I was targetted for the fly ten full fare segments get 100k bonus miles. So I've been playing with my options and found that full fare to Las Vegas is a relatively palatable deal. I was able to price out

ATL-ORD-LAS-DFW-DCA-LGA-ORD-LAS-SJC-ORD-PIT

in reduced fare first class (A) for $1400. The only segments not in first are in Y, which are the RJs DCA-LGA and ORD-PIT. The total EQM are 9917 miles, and with the platinum bonus, online booking bonus and the 100k bonus, it comes out to a shade under 120k miles for $1400. Given that its in first class and I'm trying to race towards 2MM after passing by 1MM a few months ago, I think this is a good deal. Just wish I was spending more time in LAS (two hours the first time through, eight hours the second time through) but my wallet can't afford it after spending $1400 on the tickets!

Now to drink $1400 worth of Bailey's... LOL

Anyone else able to do better with the full fare promotion?
