6000 EQM, $180 all in. Not bonus counted, no vouchers whatsoever.
The key is not to depart from ORD (although I connected through ORD and flew ORD-LAS eventually since the original routing had delays). I even managed to get upgraded thanks to the "fake" Y class fare

OP mention the fare specific target for folks originating from ORD, not anywhere else. You must be originating from the east coast, as just alone ORD-LAS roundtrip, it can only get a little over 3000 EQM, a add on MSP/MKE/DTW would only generate extra 1000 EQM, no way to get 6000 EQM.

I said I am based around ORD. Indeed, I departed from one of the airports you mentioned. I booked the ticket when the routing rule was not tightened, namely you could have up to 10 segments per roundtrip. I did 8, which added up to 6000 EQM quite easily.
If you are not departing from ORD, then what is your point of even mentioning ?

Sorry for the confusion. The "ANYWHERE" I came from was close to ORD. That's the whole point.
If one don't bother the hassle to position oneself for a better cpm, fine. I agree $199 for ORD-LAS is a decent fare for these two cities. Too bad it requires direct flight routing only now, otherwise even ORD-SFO/LAX-LAS would be better

Did your fare have no advance purchase requirement like this one does?

Possibly a match to Jetblue ORD-LAS is $199 all in with same day turn. Some flights even still have NF space so 2P and up get instant upgrade!
ONLY AVAILABLE THIS MONDAY, TUESDAY AND SATURDAY
In my case I will get 9084 RDM since I get my 100% RDM bonus for being 1k and I am registered for double RDM from 2009 elite choice.
3x miles = 2.19 cpm
2x miles = 3.29 cpm
1x miles = 6.57 cpm
While the 1x cpm price is high you also have to keep in mind this is a VERY good price since there is no advance purchase requirement.
