First Look: Inside the Brand-New Chase Sapphire Lounge in Las Vegas

Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is officially home to a dazzling new Chase Sapphire lounge located in Concourse C.

“Las Vegas is renowned for its vibrant energy, world-class entertainment and diverse culinary scene —qualities we’ve brought to life throughout the lounge,” said Dana Pouwels, head of airport lounge benefits at Chase. “From the champagne parlor to thoughtfully designed spaces for productivity as well as our signature bar, our newest lounge gives travelers a taste of the city’s luxury and excitement, making their journey as memorable as the destination itself.”

The new space marks the seventh Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club to open in the U.S. Upgraded Points was invited to a media preview on Tuesday, December 2, ahead of the lounge’s official opening on Wednesday, December 3.

With highlights like a Champagne bar and signature Momofuku dishes, let’s dive into everything travelers can expect at the newest Chase Sapphire Lounge in Las Vegas.

Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club at Las Vegas (LAS)

Location

This lounge will be open daily from 4:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Pacific Time. It’s located near Gate C23 past TSA checkpoints at Terminal 1, which handles the majority of domestic flight departures from the Las Vegas airport.

It’s among the smallest lounges in the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club network, just slightly larger than the space at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). Though the location in Las Vegas is much more compact at 4,590 square feet, the space makes smart use of 2 levels.

Like all Chase Sapphire lounges, eligible travelers are only allowed to enter 3 hours before their flight’s departure time. The lounge’s capacity maxes out at 87 travelers, meaning it will, without a doubt, fill up quickly.

Complimentary Food and Drink

Chase continues to take an intentional approach to its lounge designs, reflecting the character of each city. In Philadelphia, for example, the Chase Sapphire Lounge features a beer garden as a nod to the city’s brewing culture.

In Las Vegas, the highlight is Chase’s first-ever Champagne parlor, complete with bar-cart service offering Champagne, mimosas, and seasonal spritzes. Guests can also enjoy small bites delivered directly to their seats.

The main bar features a robust wine selection and creative cocktails crafted in partnership with Parcelle.

As for food, all menu items will rotate seasonally and are curated by Momofuku, the acclaimed Asian restaurant with more than a decade of history in Las Vegas.

Expect dishes like spicy cucumber salad, crispy nori (seaweed) potatoes, and the brand’s iconic pork bun.

For those who prefer caffeine over cocktails, the lounge’s coffee bar will sure to be a hit, offering beans locally roasted by Dark Moon Coffee Roasters.

Additionally, there are QR codes at each table. Guests can scan these to order food from the available menu.

Amenities

As one of the issuer’s smaller airport lounges, the space at LAS is much lighter on amenities than existing locations, so don’t expect to see any game rooms or spa services here.

Instead, it’s clear that Chase has invested its resources in its complimentary food and beverage program and intentional seating options to maximize space for travelers. For example, you’ll find numerous tables that can be moved around to accommodate larger groups.

There are men’s and women’s restrooms and 1 family-friendly bathroom near the bar — but no shower suites.

How To Access the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club at LAS

Several Chase credit cards will help you gain access to this impressive new space (and to other lounges in the growing Chase Sapphire network):

• Chase Sapphire Reserve^® and Sapphire Reserve for Business℠: Unlimited visits for yourself and up to 2 guests ($27 for additional guests)
• J.P. Morgan Reserve Card: Unlimited visits for yourself and up to 2 guests ($27 for additional guests)
• The Ritz-Carlton™ Credit Card: Unlimited access, unlimited guests 

Those who hold travel cards from other banks with a Priority Pass™ membership may also be able to access the lounge. This applies to travelers who enroll in Priority Pas through cards such as the Platinum Card^® from American Express or the Citi Strata Elite℠ Card, for example.

Because Chase Sapphire Lounges are operated by The Club — a lounge network that participates in Priority Pass — eligible non-Chase cardholders and Priority Pass members can receive 1 complimentary visit per year. Note that this benefit applies to a total of 1 visit annually, not necessarily 1 visit per Chase Sapphire Lounge location.

Any additional visits after the first will cost $75, a reduced rate compared to the standard $100 day-pass price.

Final Thoughts

This new Chase Sapphire Lounge will undoubtedly be a popular spot for domestic flyers departing from LAS, though at less than 5,000 square feet, it may experience overcrowding. That said, this spot joins a competitive lineup that now includes the existing American Express Centurion Lounge and the recently opened Capital One Lounge, expanding options for travelers in Las Vegas.
