Capital One Lounge — Concourse D, Terminal 3
Rating: 4.8/5 (community average, Jan–May 2026)
Access via: Capital One Venture X and other eligible Capital One cards. Same-day departing flight required [VERIFY: capitalone.com/lounges].
Guests: Free guests included [VERIFY: confirm current count at capitalone.com/lounges].
Hours: Daily 5:30am to 10pm [VERIFY: capitalone.com/lounges]
Day pass: Available [VERIFY: current price at capitalone.com/lounges]
Amenities: Full hot food rotation, craft bar, shower suites, high-speed Wi-Fi, dedicated work areas.
Firsthand notes (Hank Cai): The food quality puts this in the top tier of any domestic airport lounge I’ve visited. The craft bar runs proper cocktails and a rotating selection. Shower suites are clean and reliably available on weekday mornings. Seating layout is wide and horizontal, which helps even on busy travel days. The two windows where crowding is noticeable: Thursday evenings before the weekend rush and Sunday mornings from approximately 8 to 10am. Every other window I’ve visited has been comfortable.
The lounge is a 5-minute walk from gate D22. If you are departing from Concourse B or C, add 8 to 12 minutes of walk time from the lounge.
Community corroboration: 9 r/CreditCards reports on crowding patterns matching the Thursday evening and Sunday morning peaks (Jan–May 2026). Multiple reports describe the food quality as above any other LAS lounge option.
Chase Sapphire Lounge — Terminal 3
Rating: 4.4/5 (community average, Jan–May 2026)
Access via: Chase Sapphire Reserve. Authorized users may have access [VERIFY: chase.com].
Guests: Two free guests for primary cardholders [VERIFY: chase.com]
Hours: Daily 5am to 10pm [VERIFY: chase.com]
Day pass: Not typically available — card access required [VERIFY: chase.com]
Amenities: Restaurant-style dining with table service, full bar, work areas, fast Wi-Fi.
The Chase Sapphire Lounge uses a restaurant-and-bar format rather than an open buffet. Community reporters consistently describe the food quality as comparable to a sit-down airport restaurant. Multiple reports from Jan–May 2026 rate the food above the Centurion Sidecar option at the same airport. (r/CreditCards, 11 reports on LAS Sapphire Lounge, Jan–May 2026)
Sidecar by Centurion — Terminal 3
Rating: 3.7/5 (community average, Jan–May 2026)
Access via: Amex Platinum (same-day departing flight required)
The critical LAS-specific rule: Entry within 90 minutes of departure only. Standard Centurion Lounges allow 3 hours. Set a reminder on your phone for departure minus 90 minutes when you arrive post-security.
Guest fees: $50 per adult, $30 per child ages 2 to 17, maximum 2 paid guests (verified May 2026 at americanexpress.com). Starting July 8, 2026, guests must travel on the same flight as the cardholder.
Day pass: Not available. Amex Platinum access only.
The Sidecar format is smaller than a full Centurion Lounge. Several reports mention being turned away for arriving outside the window. The food and beverage quality is consistent with full Centurion properties, but the access window makes the experience more stressful. (r/amex, 7 reports on LAS Sidecar, Dec 2025–May 2026)
Delta Sky Club — Concourse E, Terminal 3
Rating: 3.9/5 (community average)
Access via:
- Delta SkyMiles Reserve: unlimited when flying Delta same day

Non-Delta travelers have no path to access this lounge. Amex Platinum holders note: the 10-visit annual cap is a binding constraint for frequent Delta travelers. The Delta SkyMiles Reserve eliminates the cap for unlimited access.
United Club — Concourse C, Terminal 3
Rating: 3.6/5 (community average)
Access via: United Club Infinite card. Chase Sapphire Reserve Priority Pass does not include United Clubs. Day passes available [VERIFY: current price at united.com].
Hours: Daily 5am to 8pm [VERIFY: united.com]
Amenities: Hot food, bar, Wi-Fi. Standard United Club format.
How to Pick the Right LAS Lounge
Your card determines your options. Capital One Venture X: go to the Capital One Lounge in Concourse D — best option at the airport. Chase Sapphire Reserve: the Sapphire Lounge is a strong alternative. Amex Platinum flying Delta: use the Sky Club in Concourse E. Amex Platinum not flying Delta: the Sidecar is available but plan for the 90-minute window.
Without any of these cards, the Capital One Lounge and United Club both sell day passes [VERIFY prices]. The Chase Sapphire Lounge and Sidecar by Centurion are card-access only.
