Narrative:
Aircraft control was swapped for approximately 10 mins, navaids tuned for first officer to fly. When control swapped back to captain, he did not retune his VOR to las for the crowe arrival. During descent, captain turned early and intercepted 255 degree pgs radial instead of las. No traffic conflict was noted on TCASII or advised by the tower.
