Not sure it would be a good idea to tow a heavy all that way and crossing two live runways to boot. Personally, I don't see that happening for practical reasons.
I used to tow B74C's across field 3 active runways to remote parking with regularity KMIA.

A hangar is preferable yet I have seen a RAMS team repair similar damage N621FF repaired outdoors by pitching a tent over it. Burnt fuselage skins may complicate things but I believe they can do it. Wind conditions are the factor in jacking and shoring, do not think Vegas is worse than in Miami.
