Vegas reserves will be used more than other bases but it's also seniority based. Most times there's gonna be guys with the same buckets so the more junior guys will work instead. But you can also list for call first as well if you wanna work when you're more senior as well. If you wanna work more choose the day reserve periods like R5 or R10 and choose the redeye reserve periods to work less because of the duty time limits.
Vegas also has many more long call slots than other bases due to the amount of trips that start with a redeye. It's a 14 hr callout so it's pretty easy to commute with it.
