The Chase Sapphire Lounge at Las Vegas Harry Reid opened Dec. 3, 2025, in Terminal 1, Concourse C near gate C23. It's one of the smallest Sapphire Lounges, with no showers, but it's the only bank lounge on the Southwest side of the airport. Verdict: great for a drink and a proper bite before a Southwest flight; if you're flying from the D gates, the bigger lounges there may suit you better.

Guest policy
Two guests per visit are free for Sapphire Reserve, J.P. Morgan Reserve and Ritz-Carlton cardholders; additional guests cost $27, and children under 2 are free. Chase doesn't list a separate guest rule for Reserve for Business here. That matters in Vegas, where people tend to travel in groups: the Centurion Lounge in Concourse D charges $50 per adult guest, and the Capital One Lounge $45. The catch is space, since this lounge holds far fewer people than its D-gate rivals.
What it's like
The layout is unusual. You check in upstairs, next to the Champagne parlor, the first in the Sapphire network, where a bar cart serves Champagne, mimosas and seasonal spritzes with small bites brought to your seat. The main seating area is downstairs around the bar and a fireplace, with a productivity corner. Upgraded Points put capacity at 87 people and noted tables can be pushed together for groups.
Food is from a seasonal menu curated by Momofuku that you order by QR code; Chase and Upgraded Points both highlighted the pork bun, spicy cucumber salad and crispy nori potatoes, plus a Sapphire burger. There are grab-and-go snacks, coffee from local roaster Dark Moon, and a main bar with wine and cocktails made with Parcelle.
What it lacks: there are no showers, no game room and no spa or facial services, all of which you'll find at larger Sapphire Lounges like LaGuardia and DFW. Restrooms are basic (three stalls each, plus a family restroom).
- Crowds: Upgraded Points' first look warned that at around 5,000 square feet the lounge is likely to fill quickly at peak Vegas departure times. Sapphire Lounges can waitlist when full. The August 2026 Priority Pass exit should ease demand somewhat, but no one has reported on that yet. Check hours in the Chase app.
Getting there
After security in Terminal 1, follow signs to the C gates; the lounge is near C23. Southwest flies mostly from the B and C gates, so for Southwest flyers it's a short walk. The D gates, where most other airlines and the Centurion, Capital One and United lounges are, connect to the A–C side by an airside tram, so you can visit from a D gate if you allow time to ride back. Terminal 3 (E gates) also connects to D by tram, but it's a longer trip; if you're departing from E, The Club LAS in Terminal 3 is closer.

FAQ
Does the Chase Sapphire Lounge in Las Vegas have showers? No. It's a smaller lounge focused on food and drinks, with no showers or spa services.
Can I use my Amex Platinum or Venture X Priority Pass here? No. Since Aug. 15, 2026, only eligible Chase cardholders and their guests are admitted.
Is it worth going to if I'm flying from the D gates? It can be, especially with guests, since two get in free. But the D gates have the Centurion, Capital One Lounge and Club LAS within walking distance, so if you hold those cards there's less reason to ride the tram.
How early can I enter? Up to 3 hours before departure. Chase said in August 2026 that connecting passengers could enter up to 5 hours before their next flight, though its lounge page still says 3 hours.
