YYZ-LAS is a vacatio/convention route, so fares are likely to be less than YYZ-DFW, which is primarily a business one. I'd buy one ticket [AC, UA or AA depending upon FF program your friend belongs to] with Saturday overnight, 7-day advance. Then book, as suggested, a cheap SouthWest to DAL. </font>
Nice idea but it doesn't work as Frequent Freak already pointed out. The infamous Wright Amendment is still in effect which means that no scheduled service using a/c with more than 56 seats can serve DAL to anything further than an adjacent state without buying a seperate ticket for beyond flights.

The person would have to buy a ticket from LAS to an airport in a state adjacent to Texas and then buy a seperate ticket from there to DAL.

Try finding LAS-DFW on National Airlines, America West, American or Delta.
