LAS Airport Lounges Guide 2026: Best Credit Cards for Lounge Access

Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) has quietly become one of America's best airports for lounge access. In just the past year, it added a Chase Sapphire Lounge and a Capital One Lounge, joining the existing Centurion Lounge to create serious competition among premium card issuers.

The short version: Concourse D is lounge paradise. It houses the Centurion Lounge, Capital One Lounge, Delta Sky Club, and The Club LAS. The new Sapphire Lounge is in Terminal 1, Concourse C. If you have a premium travel card, you'll find good options here.

LAS Terminal Layout: What You Need to Know

Before planning your lounge strategy, understand how LAS is organized.

Terminal 1 (Concourses C and D) handles most domestic carriers. Southwest dominates here, but you'll also find Spirit, Frontier, and others. Concourse D is connected via tram and has the highest concentration of lounges.

Terminal 3 (Concourses D and E) serves major carriers. Delta, American, United, and others operate from here. Terminal 3 connects to the same Concourse D satellite via tram.

The tram system connects everything airside. You can move between Terminal 1, Terminal 3, and Concourse D without leaving security. This makes lounge hopping practical if you have time before your flight.

Budget 15-20 minutes for tram transfers. If your gate is in Terminal 1 but you want to visit the Centurion Lounge in Concourse D, factor in walking and tram time.

How to Navigate LAS for Lounge Access

Getting to Concourse D

Most LAS lounges are in Concourse D. To reach them:

1. Clear security in Terminal 1 or Terminal 3
2. Follow signs to the tram/shuttle
3. Ride to Concourse D
4. Look for lounge signage (Capital One is in the rotunda, Centurion near D1, Delta/United near D33)

If You're Flying Southwest

Southwest operates primarily from Terminal 1. Your closest lounge options are:

• Chase Sapphire Lounge - In Terminal 1, Concourse C
• The Club LAS - Take tram to Concourse D, near Gate D33
• Centurion/Capital One Lounges - Take tram to Concourse D (15-20 min total)

For a quick visit, the Sapphire Lounge or The Club are most practical. For a longer layover, the Concourse D premium lounges are worth the trek.

Lounge Hopping Strategy

If you have multiple card memberships (e.g., Amex Plat and Venture X), you could theoretically visit both the Centurion and Capital One lounges in Concourse D since they're in the same area. This is only practical with 2+ hour layovers.
