A Las Vegas trip often ends with a long wait at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS): early checkouts, late flights home to the Midwest, and crowded gate areas. The good news is that LAS now has three credit card lounges, from Amex, Chase and Capital One. The catch is that they are not all in the same place, and Delta flyers still have no Sky Club. Here is the lounge picture as of October 2026.

The credit card lounges
Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club
The airport announced this lounge in December 2025. Chase says it is in Terminal 1, Concourse C, near gate C23, open daily from 4:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., and reachable from Concourses A and B as well. Sapphire Reserve, J.P. Morgan Reserve and primary Sapphire Reserve for Business cardmembers get in free and can bring up to two guests; extra guests pay a fee. Chase lists a Champagne parlor and food from local restaurants, but no showers. Chase’s page doesn’t list Sapphire Preferred among the cards with complimentary access.
Amex Centurion Lounge
Upgraded Points lists the Centurion Lounge opposite gate D1, open 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., with entry up to three hours before departure. It also lists a smaller “Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge” on the D concourse with entry within 90 minutes of departure. The same 2026 Centurion rules apply here as everywhere: since July 8, 2026, guests must be on the cardholder’s flight itinerary, and guest fees are $50 per adult and $30 per child unless a Platinum cardholder hit $75,000 in calendar-year spend.
Capital One Lounge
AwardWallet lists the Capital One Lounge in Terminal 1, Concourse D, open 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., with no showers. Venture X and Venture X Business cardholders get in free. Guests cost $45 each ($25 for ages 17 and under) unless you spend $75,000 in a calendar year. Non-cardholders can pay $90, and Venture and Spark Miles cardholders pay $45.
Airline lounges and Priority Pass
- United Club: On the D gates, for United Club members and eligible United cardholders or elites on a same-day United or Star Alliance flight. A day pass is listed at about $59.
- No Delta Sky Club yet: The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Delta plans its first-ever Sky Club at LAS for 2029. Until then, Delta Reserve and Amex Platinum holders can use the Centurion Lounge instead.
- Southwest: Southwest does not have lounges, so its flyers need a card lounge or Priority Pass.
- Priority Pass: The Club LAS has two locations (D gates and Terminal 3) that accept Priority Pass, with a day pass around $60. XpresSpa locations also appear in Priority Pass. Amex Platinum’s Priority Pass membership covers lounges only, not spas, so check what your card’s version includes.
- Military travelers: USO lounges sit before security in Terminal 1 and in Terminal 3 baggage claim for eligible service members and families.
Getting there on points
Las Vegas is one of the easiest award flights from the Midwest, with lots of nonstop options. Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer 1:1 to Southwest and United, and Amex Membership Rewards points transfer to Delta. Both Southwest and Delta tie award prices closely to cash fares, so cheap cash days are often cheap points days too. For hotels, see our Las Vegas on points guide, which covers MGM, Marriott, Caesars, Wyndham, Hyatt and the resort fee catch.
Practical tips
- Know your terminal. LAS has two terminals, and the Chase lounge is on the C gates while the Centurion and Capital One lounges are on the D gates.
- Popular card lounges can fill up and limit entry on busy days, such as after big conventions or holiday weekends. Leave time for a backup plan.
- None of the three card lounges has showers, according to Chase and AwardWallet, so freshen up at your hotel before a red-eye.
Sapphire Reserve cardmembers get into the Chase Sapphire Lounge at LAS, and Chase points transfer to Southwest, United, Marriott, Hyatt and Wyndham for the rest of the trip. You can compare current offers and apply with our Chase referral link.

Our take
LAS has become one of the better US airports for credit card lounges, with Chase, Amex and Capital One all present. If you already hold one of their premium cards, you have a good place to wait. That doesn’t mean a premium card is worth getting for one airport, though. These cards carry high annual fees, and a lounge you use once or twice a year rarely justifies that alone.
The weak spots are Delta flyers, who have no Sky Club until 2029 at the earliest, and families, since guest fees and the new same-flight rule at the Centurion Lounge add up quickly. Lounge details at LAS have also shifted a lot in the past year, and third-party guides don’t always agree, so check the official page before you count on a lounge.
