The best way to avoid line ups at the car rental agencies is to join their frequent renters club. Most if not all are free to join and you bypass the lines when you go to get your car.
At Dollar, most of the time my name is up on a screen that tells me what stall my car is in and I can be in and out of the car rental center in 5 minutes.
I don't know if you can use the frequent renter systems for bookings not made directly through the rental company. If you can't then you just have to figure out what your time is worth and book accordingly.

A couple of my friends arrived in Vegas around midnight and found huge lines for some of the car rental places and waits of over an hour to pick up cars. One was using Budget. (With prearranged rentals). Not sure which places have the problems.
Also be careful if you plan to arrive at midnight....don't request 12 a.m. , they might think you meant the previous day, use 11:59 p.m. On the day of arrival, or if you are arriving at 1:00 a.m., make sure you put in the correct day (that would be the "day" or date after your flight took off for example. The midnight mess happened to my sister, they said her reservation had expired, and wanted to charge her an extra $500 for a week's rental. She ended up using taxis during her visit.
