The Priority Pass airport lounge program allows members access to over 1,500 airport lounges and restaurants worldwide. Three of those Priority Pass locations are at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
The airport has two separate terminal buildings, Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. There’s one Priority Pass lounge in Terminal 3 and two in Terminal 1. You can move between the two terminals post-security by tram if you want.
The Club, which runs nearly two dozen airports around the U.S. (as well as a few in the U.K.) operates two of the lounges. The third — Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club — is a bit funky, as Priority Pass members are entitled to just one visit to any lounge in the Chase Sapphire Lounge network per year.

Whether you’ve got a flight delay, a long layover or just need to kill time before your flight, the two 'The Club' lounges in Las Vegas can be a nice place to hang out. If you haven't used up your singular Chase Sapphire Lounge visit this year, you'll be walking into absolute luxury.
Here's a guide to the three LAS Priority Pass lounges.

Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club, Terminal 1, Concourse C (near Gate 47): This lounge is located post-security in Terminal 1, Concourse C. (Note the restriction to just one Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club per year, and a $75 fee for any guests beyond yourself or for future entries beyond the first free visit).
The Club LAS, Terminal 1 (near Gate D33): This lounge is located after security on Level 2 of Terminal 1 near Gate D33.
You can also get to this lounge from Terminal 3, though you’ll have to first hop on the Red Line train. Budget 15-20 minutes of commute time (one-way) if you’re coming from Terminal 3.

The Club LAS, Terminal 3 (across from Gate E2): This lounge is located after security in Terminal 3 by Gate E2.
Just as you’d ride the Red Line train to get from Terminal 3 to Terminal 1, you’d board the same train in the opposite direction to get to this lounge from Terminal 1. Again, account for that same commute time.
What to expect inside the LAS Priority Pass lounges
Inside the Terminal 1 Club lounge (near Gate D33)
The Club runs this lounge along with the Terminal 3 location, so expect similar quality furnishings, snacks and other amenities. This Terminal 1 version typically offers a waiter-service style where you order from a small menu on your smartphone, and an employee brings out your dish to you.
Food

Food at The Club is a mix of self-service buffet and made-to-order dishes. All the food inside is complimentary.

To order, you scan a QR code at your table or counter seat, which takes you to a website where you can choose from a variety of menu items. Choose as many dishes as you want — and order as many times as you want.
The Protein Bowl consists of roasted veggies topped with chicken, black beans, corn, pico de gallo and avocado. (Photo by Sally French)
Portion sizes are relatively small, so count on ordering at least a few plates if you’re seeking a full meal. Exact menu items vary. But across our dozens of visits inside the lounge, NerdWallet staff has seen a menu items including sliders, tacos, soup, breaded cauliflower and a protein bowl.

The beverage area includes tea plus an espresso maker that whips up coffee beverages, including lattes and mochas.

Besides the made-to-order items, you can access a self-service buffet of limited items like trail mix, fruit and salad anytime.
Seating
The seating is varied, providing options for your lounge activity of choice — whether that’s snoozing, dining or getting work done. One room, which is separated from the food, features couches and chairs with footrests that might accommodate a more comfortable nap.

Counter seating makes it possible to get work done. There are a good number of power outlets. Plus, Wi-Fi is free.

There’s a good amount of seating, but this lounge can sometimes get packed. Occasionally, there’s even a waitlist to get in.
Inside the Terminal 3 Club lounge (across from Gate E2)
This version tends to offer buffet style offerings, though the food is typically the same ingredients as what you'll get from the Terminal 1 waiter-service style.

The buffet is nice because you can pick the portions as you please. If you want just a little rice and a lot of meat (or vice versa) you can do that here, as opposed to the waiter-service style where you're stuck with what's brought out on the plate.
Then again, not everyone loves the idea of buffets. Germaphobes might be better off in the Terminal 1 Club.

The Terminal 3 lounge is darker and can feel more cramped. Unlike the Terminal 1 edition, there are no windows facing to the outside of the airport (only a few windows exist and they point into the inside of the airport). Ceilings are also lower than those in the Terminal 1 edition.
Inside the Chase Sapphire Lounge (Terminal 1, Concourse C)
The newest lounge at Las Vegas airport opened in December 2025 and is easily the most upscale Priority Pass-accessible option. At 4,590 square feet across two stories, it's smaller than the other lounges but packs in premium amenities.
The menu is curated by Momofuku, the acclaimed restaurant group founded by David Chang. Dishes include spicy cucumber salad, crispy nori potatoes, Momofuku's signature pork bun, beef barbacoa served on brioche with chipotle aioli, and a full-sized Sapphire burger with fries. There's also a small dessert section with cookies, brownies and bars.
Sweet chili cauliflower, beef barbacoa and
The lounge debuts Chase's first champagne parlor, where travelers can order sparkling wine, mimosas and seasonal spritz cocktails delivered to their seats by bar cart service, complete with passed appetizers. There's also a full-sized bar downstairs serving beer, wine from Parcelle, and locally-inspired cocktails.
Priority Pass access note: Priority Pass members can visit the Chase Sapphire Lounge once per calendar year across the entire Chase Sapphire Lounge network. Subsequent visits cost $75. If you're a Priority Pass member visiting Vegas and want to use your annual Chase lounge visit here, this is your best bet for food quality and ambiance.

All three LAS Priority Pass lounges are located airside (past the security checkpoint); you’ll need your membership, a same-day boarding pass and a valid ID to get past security and in to a lounge.
Can I bring a friend?
Children under age two are admitted free. For everyone else, the ability to bring a guest depends on the terms of your Priority Pass membership.
Membership: If you purchased membership through Priority Pass, you’ll typically need to pay to bring a guest with you.
Card perks: If you have membership through a credit card, you might be able to bring a guest or two for free. For example, Chase Sapphire Reserve® members can bring up to two guests for free. Check the terms of your credit card so see if guests are included.
Day passes: Anyone can purchase a day pass for the Club lounges, which typically costs $50. With a day pass, you can enter up to three hours before your scheduled flight departure.
Other Las Vegas airport lounges to know
Beyond the Priority Pass-accessible lounges, Harry Reid International Airport has other Las Vegas airport lounges not in the Priority Pass network. Those include:
Travel credit cards can offer all sorts of value, ranging from the ability to earn bonus points to travel insurance coverage for purchases made on the card. And given the complimentary food and drinks you can nosh on at Priority Pass lounges like these, premium travel credit cards can make waiting in airports just a little bit better.
