The network of Chase Sapphire Lounges in the United States is continuing to grow. Up until this point, there have been Chase Sapphire Lounges in Boston (BOS), New York (JFK), New York (LGA), Philadelphia (PHL), Phoenix (PHX), San Diego (SAN), and Washington (IAD), with more being developed. There’s now an exciting update, as the latest outpost has just opened.

Details of the new Chase Sapphire Lounge Las Vegas
The Chase Sapphire Lounge at Las Vegas International Airport (SAN) has opened as of Wednesday, December 3, 2025. It’s located in Terminal 1, Concourse C, between gates 23 and 24, and it’s open daily from 4:30AM until 11PM. Note that Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 are connected airside, so this lounge can be visited by all passengers.
This lounge outpost is 4,590 square feet, with seating for 87 guests, so that makes it the second smallest lounge in the network, after the location in Phoenix. So expect crowding and waitlists to get into the lounge to be the norm during busier periods.
The two-story lounge is “designed to reflect the lively spirit of Las Vegas, blending bold, shimmering finishes inspired by the city’s nightlife with desert-themed accents that pay homage to the region’s unique landscape.”
The lounge also features Chase’s first-of-its-kind champagne parlor, where travelers can enjoy sparkling drink selections by bar cart service, including glasses of champagne, mimosas, and seasonal spritz cocktails, as well as passed bites, to their seat.
When it comes to food, the lounge’s dining options boast dishes created in partnership with restaurant group Momofuku, founded by chef David Chang. Dishes include a spicy cucumber salad, crispy nori potatoes, and pork buns. Guests can also enjoy locally roasted coffee from Nevada-based Dark Moon Coffee Roasters, a curated wine list from Parcelle, and signature and locally-inspired cocktails.
With the opening of the Chase Sapphire Lounge, Las Vegas is only the second airport in the United States to have the “credit card lounge trifecta,” as the airport also has an Amex Centurion Lounge and Capital One Lounge.
Chase Sapphire Lounge entry requirements
As a reminder, here are the entry requirements for all Chase Sapphire Lounges in the United States:
- Those with a Priority Pass™ Select membership through the Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card (review) can access the lounge an unlimited number of times, with up to two complimentary guests; this also applies to those with the Ritz-Carlton Credit Card, which is no longer open to new applicants
- Those with a Priority Pass™ Select membership issued through any other means can access any Chase Sapphire Lounge in the United States once per calendar year at no additional cost (that’s one visit across all lounges, not per lounge), and guests aren’t complimentary; subsequent visits, as well as guests, will be charged an entry fee of $75
- If you don’t have a Priority Pass™ Select membership, you can outright buy access to the lounge for $100 per person per visit, subject to availability
- Chase Sapphire Lounges are only accessible within three hours of departure, unless you’re connecting, in which case you can access it earlier
Bottom line
The Chase Sapphire Lounge Las Vegas is now open. The lounge is roughly 4,600 square feet, so it’s on the small side. That being said, the lounge looks great, and it has some unique amenities, like a champagne parlor with a bar cart service.
Las Vegas is now only the second airport to have lounges from Amex, Capital One, and Chase, so that’s pretty cool, as customers have quite a few options to choose from!
What do you make of the new Chase Sapphire Lounge Las Vegas?
Visited for an hour yesterday (12/4) and the lounge is beautiful! The service was incredible. Every staff person was attentive, friendly, and efficient. Extremely well run for just the second day after opening. There was a waitlist but received text to enter less in than 10 minutes. Used CSR for entry.
87 is crazy. I guess it makes sense with everyone canceling
On a side note, Chase is closing down for good their first lounge (HKG) as of January 2nd .
Bigger story is their announced closure of the 3-year old Chase Lounge at HKG.
Not sure what is more ridiculous at LAS, the AmEx Centurion Lounge or the people waiting in line.
Unless you’re doing something ultra-premium with highly restricted entry requirements, what is the point of putting an 87-seat lounge in one of the top-10 busiest airports in the country?
Lucky...speaking of Chase and the CSR, have you noticed that the 2cpp points boost is no longer showing/offered for select J/F airline bookings through chase travel?
Was this a temporary/targeted benefit?
With 87 seats, no Priority Pass holders will get in.
wow, only 87 for a pretty busy airport, can pax waitlisted on the app? I can sign up 30 mins before arrival :)
It took Chase years to open the LAS lounge and it only has 87 seats??
As others have mentioned, the significantly larger Amex LAS lounge is regularly overrun with lines / waitlists and this will be even worse. Likely borderline unusable. Or maybe they wanted a lottery to get in to align with the Vegas gambling theme??
If they could not get any additional space, they should have done something like the Amex Sidecar concept,...

If they could not get any additional space, they should have done something like the Amex Sidecar concept, where guests can show up 90 minutes before their flight to get a couple of quick drinks and food to increase throughput of such a small space.
"Las Vegas International Airport (SAN)"
Not quite ;)
Love that others already asked and answered whether there is actually Champagne here. Most Americans don’t know or care about the difference between Champagne and Prosecco (not to mention other sparkling wines), which is so disappointing. Let’s hope the proper bubbles stick. But this will be absolutely mobbed in short order.
Why in the Southwest Terminal C? The CapOne lounge in D is better located for DA AA and UA.
I guess it makes sense to have the Lounge in T1, given the Amex and CapOne Lounges are in T3. But not sure I'd enjoy the Allegiant and Southwest masses, and there's no way I'd go over the T1 to use this lounge if flying out to T3.
The D gates aren't T3. The majority of flights out of D are DL and AA which are T1. I'm sure that no one will be coming from T3 but I would also doubt many of the DL/AA crowd will head over because the location is a walk from pretty much everywhere. It's easier for even most WN flyers to get to the CapOne and Amex lounges than this one, halfway down the concourse between...

Las vegas Airport (SAN)... you should probably update that Ben!
87 seats is pretty small. What is the capacity of the AMEX lounge in LV?
464 is the maximum after they increased the size a few years ago. Anecdotally, there's almost always a waitlist/line.
Have been there 3 times in the past month with no line. So certainly YMMV.
Real champagne?
Are they actually serving champagne, or is it "champagne" in the American sense that even $6 André is considered champagne?
Menu shows Gosset, so real champagne. Might be the only cc lounge doing that.
The regular lounge bar only serves prosecco. I'd be shocked if they serve champagne for free long-term.
The Chase Sapphire lounge IAD which doubles as the Etihad lounge is supposed to offer champagne and I’ve managed to get it there once or twice, but more often than not it’s “temporarily out of stock” and they offer prosecco instead. That never happened before Chase got involved when the lounge was reserved for Etihad pax.
@Ben “Las Vegas International Airport (SAN)” Ah yes, the famous airport of San Vegas
Eh, still not work routing through LAS.
Not even a Chase Sapphire lounge could get me to go back to Las Vegas ;)
Yikes, 87 people is not large!
