That 8am flight is pretty stupid because it means getting up early but also you arrive way to early in Vegas and hotel check-in generally won't be available so it means leaving bags with the bell desk. I'm guessing this also makes connecting schedules somewhat undesirable for people that have to connect in Calgary. The 6:15pm return is probably not that bad but I really liked the early afternoon flight home.

Haven't seen the full winter schedule but perhaps they've beefed up n/s Vegas flights from other centres so connecting may not be as big an issue. I don't recall if YEG was Swooped for Vegas flights but if/when they were I think it cut off the option for GP and Ft Mac flyers to connect via YEG. If mainline is back on the table from YEG that opens up connections for northern flyers as well.
