Lounge access rules change often — confirm in the lounge's app or the card's benefits page before you fly.
Harry Reid International is Southwest's biggest base and a busy leisure airport for nearly every US airline. It's also one of the few US airports where all three bank lounge networks operate, which makes LAS lounge access unusually easy: the Centurion Lounge LAS (plus a smaller Sidecar), a Capital One Lounge and a Chase Sapphire Lounge.

Quick answer
- Best overall for LAS lounge access: Amex Platinum — includes the Centurion Lounge LAS, the Sidecar and Priority Pass (The Club LAS)
- Best for the Chase Sapphire Lounge: Chase Sapphire Reserve — the Sapphire Lounge is in Concourse C, Southwest's area, with two free guests
- Best value for Priority Pass + Capital One Lounge: Capital One Venture X — Capital One Lounge in Concourse D plus Priority Pass LAS (two Club LAS locations)
- Best for frequent United flyers: United Club Card with United Club access (Concourse D)
Airport snapshot
LAS has two terminals. Terminal 1 serves the A, B, C and D gates, and Southwest flies mostly from B and C. Terminal 3 serves the E gates (international and some domestic flights). The D gates are reached by tram and hold most of the lounges: Centurion, Sidecar, Capital One, the United Club and one Club LAS. The Sapphire Lounge is in Concourse C, a short tram ride from D. Terminal 3 has its own Club LAS. Southwest flyers have no airline club here, so the best credit card for Las Vegas flyers is a bank card.
Where to go by terminal
| Gates | Airlines | Lounges there |
|---|---|---|
| T1 A–B | Southwest, other airlines | Spas only |
| T1 C | Southwest | Chase Sapphire Lounge (C23) |
| T1 D | Most non-Southwest airlines | Centurion, Sidecar, Capital One, United Club, The Club LAS |
| T3 E | International, some domestic | The Club LAS |
The D gates are the hub: after security, trams link them to the Terminal 1 A–C gates and to Terminal 3's E gates. Moving between the two terminal buildings landside means a shuttle and a new security screening.

Recommended strategy
- If you fly Southwest often from LAS: Sapphire Reserve. Its lounge is in Concourse C next to Southwest's gates, and two guests get in free, which matters on group trips to Vegas.
- If you want one card that covers the best lounges: Amex Platinum gets you into the Centurion, the Sidecar and both Club LAS locations. Guests are the weak spot: $50 per adult until you hit $75,000 in spend.
- If you want strong lounges at a lower cost: Venture X. For $395 you get the Capital One Lounge plus Priority Pass, which is one of the best deals at any US airport. Guests now cost $45 at the Capital One Lounge and $35 at Priority Pass lounges.
- If you fly from Terminal 3 (E gates): The Club LAS in Terminal 3 is the nearest lounge, and any card with Priority Pass gets you in.
No card? Day passes & other options
Capital One sells $90 day passes to anyone when there's space (Venture X guests pay $45). Both Club LAS locations sell day passes (Upgraded Points lists $60), and Upgraded Points lists a $100 day pass for the Sapphire Lounge. The United Club sells one-time passes ($59 per Upgraded Points). The Centurion and Sidecar don't sell day passes. The USO has lounges before security in Terminal 1 and at Terminal 3 baggage claim.
FAQ
Is there a Centurion Lounge at LAS? Yes, two in fact. The full Centurion Lounge is in Concourse D opposite gate D1, and the smaller Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge is also in Concourse D. The Sidecar only admits you within 90 minutes of departure, compared with 3 hours at the main lounge.
Amex Platinum vs Sapphire Reserve vs Venture X: which is best at LAS? All three have their own lounge here, so it comes down to where you fly from and who you travel with. Venture X is the value pick: $395 for the Capital One Lounge plus Priority Pass. Sapphire Reserve is best for Southwest flyers and groups, since its lounge is in Concourse C and two guests are free. Amex Platinum gives the most lounges (Centurion, Sidecar and Priority Pass) but charges $50 per guest unless you spend $75,000 a year.
Can I use Priority Pass at the Chase Sapphire Lounge in Las Vegas? Only with a Chase card. You can enter with the Priority Pass membership that comes with Sapphire Reserve, but Upgraded Points reports that other Priority Pass members lost access on August 15, 2026. Priority Pass's own LAS listing now shows only the two Club LAS lounges.
Is there a Delta Sky Club or Admirals Club at LAS? No. Delta and American flyers at LAS use the bank lounges or The Club LAS. Delta Reserve cardholders can still use the Centurion and Sidecar when flying Delta on a ticket bought with an Amex card.
