What the card unlocks at LAS#
The Platinum Card (card page) carries five lounge benefits: Centurion Lounge, Delta Sky Club, Plaza Premium, Escape Lounges and Priority Pass. Harry Reid International has no Delta Sky Club, Plaza Premium or Escape Lounge, so two benefits do the work and open 4 lounges:
- Via Centurion Lounge: The Centurion Lounge (Terminal 1, rated 4.6); Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge (Terminal 1, rated 3.8)
- Via Priority Pass: The Club LAS (E) (Terminal 3, rated 4.8); The Club LAS (D) (Terminal 1, rated 3.7)
The Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club in Terminal 1 is not counted: since 15 August 2026 it admits only Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Reserve for Business and Ritz-Carlton cardholders, and Priority Pass memberships issued by other cards no longer get in.
My picks by terminal#
- The Club LAS (E): Terminal 3 opposite gate E2, full bar, two showers.
- The Centurion Lounge: Terminal 1 in the D gates rotunda, craft cocktails, two showers, opened 2013 and renovated 2017.
- Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge: Terminal 1 near gate D1, craft cocktails, no showers, a 33-seat quick stop that opened in 2026 and admits you only within 90 minutes of departure.
From Terminal 1, ride the tram to the D gates and start at the Centurion Lounge, with Sidecar for a fast bite and The Club LAS (D) as the overflow option; from Terminal 3, The Club LAS (E) is the only choice and happens to be the top-rated room the card opens here. Proprietary network lounges usually beat Priority Pass rooms, but the Centurion Lounge queues hard at peak in Las Vegas.
The fine print#
The annual fee is USD 895. Guest rules differ by benefit: Centurion guests are charged unless you clear the annual spend threshold, while Priority Pass guests follow the card's allowance. A same-day boarding pass is checked at every door, the Delta Sky Club benefit (unused here) requires a same-day Delta flight, and the busiest lounges cap entry when full. The Harry Reid International page lists all 7 lounges in the directory, including the Capital One Lounge, Chase Sapphire Lounge and United Club this card does not open.
How we score#
Ratings are editorial on a 1 to 5 scale. Read our methodology and the 5 best lounges at LAS.
Putting this into practice#
The names I'd check against the actual boarding pass include The Centurion Lounge, Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge. I would start with the terminal and the time available after security. That turns a directory into a realistic shortlist. A lounge can be excellent and still be a poor choice for this departure if reaching it uses most of the waiting time. The location notes above should do as much work as the overall score.
The access check comes next. I'd identify the exact card, membership, status or ticket being used and read the conditions for that route into the lounge. A lounge appearing on a card's map is a starting point for that check. It is not a reason to assume every fare, guest or departure will qualify in the same way.
