AA: LAX-DFW-HKG-DFW-LAX $695, 18692eqm, 3.7cpm
Sample: 10/2-4 $695
I've done this one night turn before and it wasn't bad at all, especially with the superb HKG lounges opening up at ~5am after a night out in the city.
Edit: More dates at lower price 10/2-5,6 $672

I believe there are lounges that are open 24 hours too. In another note, don't tempt me like this.

No issues as USA citizen, I did this particular route 7 times in the last 10 months, although only once was a 1 night turn. You can clear immigration and go up to departures to print your return BP at the kiosk, clear security and "leave" hk to access the lounges if you wish. But if you end up entering air side and wish to leave again, I hear it is a pain as someone will have to escort you out.

AA:LAX-DFW-HKG (Sept 29/30th Departure; Oct 5th Return); $650; 3.47 cpm; 18.7K Miles
Dates/availability aren't that good. Pretty much just Sept 29th/30th departure, and return on Oct 5th - 8th.
18.7K Miles
Potentially good as a MR if you have SWU's to burn -- although DFW-HKG route is relatively hard to clear but certainly very possible.

If you are not EXP who booked almost a year in advance, I wouldn't count on SWU clearing. This would be a brutal MR in coach, though certainly good CPM.
I would try to find SE Asia runs via NRT. SWUs would have better chance of clearing and the coach, if you get stuck there, a tad more humane.
