Mixed. Some go back west on the second duty period (after day rest, or early following day after long), some east coast back west on last day, and the gems that go to FLL and do 2 nights of redeye jungle turns and then go back to LAS late on the last day.

Next night red eye turn to Nicaragua
Next night red eye turn to Nicaragua
Next evening FLL-LAS end in Vegas about 11pm.
Some people like them because they are usually fairly high credit and often commutable on both ends. I got on a red eye to Dfw after finishing that trip and home by 5am the next morning.

Redeyes are much easier for those who are acclimated to the pacific time zone. The worst schedules in the system are those out of MCO/FLL that go out west on day 1 with an 11pm report time in LAX/LAS on day 2 (that's 2am Florida time to your body), 24 hours off in PIT/EWR/etc to flip your body clock and fly 3 legs on day 4. Damn brutal and only worth around 19 hours since it's three duty periods.

I know exactly the trips you’re talking about and you need to be filing a fatigue report on each one. Even if you aren’t calling in fatigued you can file an informational. That last day is an accident waiting to happen. One leg from the NE early that morning to Florida is one thing but the kicker turn to the Caribbean is begging for fatal mistakes to be made.
