Editor’s note: Chase provided me with round-trip airfare and a hotel stay to cover the lounge opening. All opinions I express are entirely mine and were not subject to review by the airline or any other external entity.
Update (12/4/2025): Chase says the lounge’s square footage is actually 5,390, up from the previously shared 4,590 figure. That’s because the issuer wasn’t including the top level with the Champagne parlor in its original calculation.
Las Vegas is now home to the ultimate lounge trifecta.
That’s thanks to the all-new (and long-awaited) Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club that’s opening on Wednesday at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS).
It’s the final opening for Chase’s lounge portfolio in 2025, but it’s ending with a bang.
From the stunning champagne bar to the delectable eats from Momofuku, this lounge is a welcome addition to the lounge scene at LAS, which now includes an outpost from the three big credit card networks — Amex, Capital One, and now Chase.
Read on for everything you need to know about the lounge.

Chase Sapphire Lounge Las Vegas location
The new Chase Sapphire Lounge in Las Vegas is located just past security in Concourse C of Terminal 1.
All gates at LAS are connected airside, so you can technically access the Chase lounge before any departing flight from the airport.
Just note that you might need to take a ride (or two) on an underground train to get to your gate, so be sure to factor that in before heading to the lounge.
Furthermore, if you’re traveling with checked bags, you’ll need to be dropped off at your airline’s terminal and then make your way to the Chase lounge.
The Chase lounge’s location adjacent to Gate C23 is ideal for those flying on Allegiant, Southwest, and Spirit.
That’s because no underground train ride is required to visit the lounge before departure.
American and Delta also handle their check-ins in Terminal 1, so if you’re flying on those airlines with checked bags, you’ll be able to quickly pop by the lounge before taking the train to the D gates.
Note that the lounge opens daily at 4:30 a.m. It closes every day at 11 p.m.
Chase Sapphire Lounge Las Vegas access
The access policies for the Chase Sapphire Lounge in Las Vegas are the same as all the others in the Chase lounge portfolio.
Primary and authorized cardmembers of the Chase Sapphire Reserve® can enter the lounge for free and bring up to 2 guests. Note that you’ll need to have the (complimentary) Priority Pass associated with the card to enter the lounge.
Additional guests beyond the two included will be charged at $27 per person. (Note that children two and under are free.)
Those with the J.P. Morgan Reserve card or the Ritz-Carlton™ Credit Card (no longer available to new applicants) can also use the lounge with the same rules, though the latter card includes unlimited guest access.
Travelers with a Priority Pass membership (from any other premium credit card) can visit one Chase Sapphire Lounge per calendar year for free. Additional entries can be purchased for themselves and guests at $75 per person.
If you’re considering one of the Chase Sapphire cards, lounge access is a key differentiating factor from the Reserve. As the lounge portfolio keeps getting better, the new $795 annual fee becomes more and more palatable, in my opinion.
Chase Sapphire Lounge Las Vegas layout
The Sapphire Lounge in Las Vegas is one of the most unique Chase outposts.
For one, it spans two levels. You enter near Gate C23 and find yourself in a small space with the reception desk, a standing table, and a unique-to-Vegas Champagne parlor.
The parlor doesn’t have much traditional seating, but more on that below.
The main lounge is downstairs (on the ground level of the airport).
You wouldn’t know that, however, since the windows are frosted. But on the other side of the window is one of the airport roadways.
Obviously, I’d prefer tarmac views, but at least the windows let in plenty of natural light.

You can get downstairs via stairs or an elevator.
The lounge itself measures 4,590 square feet, and there’s room for just 87 flyers.
You’ll find four main seating areas throughout the lower level.
There’s a horseshoe-shaped couch area, a few dining tables near the bar, a large relaxation room with couches and recliners, and then the main dining room.
The flagship bar spans the central perimeter of the lounge with seats for about 20 flyers.
All in all, Chase did about as good as a job as it could with partitioning the space. But it’s small, and I’m sure it’ll be crowded.
Chase Sapphire Lounge Las Vegas dining
Chase teamed up with Momofuku on the lounge menu.
You’ll find favorites, such as Sapphire noodles and the spicy cucumber salad, along the buffet, and you can also select from the made-to-order options by scanning the QR codes at each table.
Everything I tried was tasty, but we’ll see how the food holds up over time when the space is at capacity.
The wine list is designed in partnership with Parcelle, and the lounge also offers several signature and locally inspired cocktails.
I especially loved the dice that Chase added to the Lucky 1700 — a true Vegas classic.
There’s also a large drink station flanking one end of the buffet, where you’ll find Eversys coffee machines and other nonalcoholic pours.
This lounge is the first to feature a signature Champagne parlor, next to the reception desk.
Chase did a great job making this space feel inviting, and I especially like the glass window that looks down to the rest of the lounge.
You can enjoy a glass of Champagne up here, along with a few canapes and snacks, like crispy nori potatoes.
Chase Sapphire Lounge Las Vegas amenities
Given the lounge’s boutique footprint, you won’t find much in the way of amenities inside.
Don’t expect showers, private workstations, relaxation rooms, or massage pods.
The space was designed to maximize seating, and it shows.
You’ll find gender-specific restrooms (with just two stalls and one urinal on the men’s side), as well as a single all-gender restroom.
The bathrooms are located near the elevator in the back of the lounge.
The lounge does have all the basics covered — fast and free Wi-Fi, power outlets, USB-A, and USB-C ports are available at basically every seat.
Chase Sapphire Lounge Las Vegas parting thoughts
Chase’s new Sapphire Lounge in Las Vegas has been a long time coming.
From a design perspective, it looks just like the rest of the network. It’s got a beautiful design, a variety of seating options, and inviting colors that make it feel like a luxe oasis from the busy terminal (especially the dated Terminal C).
Plus, the food and drinks are a cut above the competition — a testament to Chase’s investment in the dining experience at its Sapphire Lounges.
The problem, though, is that there’s only room for 87 flyers. That’ll almost definitely mean that getting inside without a wait will be like hitting blackjack.
In fact, I’d imagine that on some flights, more than 87 travelers are likely carrying the Sapphire Reserve card (especially to places like New York and L.A.)
Hopefully, Chase (and its competitors) do something to address overcrowding soon, like adding a new fast-pass and coupon-style entry system. Until then, I wish you luck getting inside.

Your storytelling style is amazing. full of useful information, great job!
I get to compare LAS to LGA (my favorite) and JFK (not my favorite) in a little over a week.
