Was looking forward to trying this and worried that it would be lackluster like most U.S. airport lounges. Totally happy to discover a U.S. lounge that actually wants to be great. I was hungry when I arrived so I had the full course buffet meal of arugula/radicchio salad, ricotta balls in tomato sauce, short ribs, and panna cotta. All were great. They have good iced tea and agua fresca to drink, as well as a full high-end bar. I had an amazing cocktail worthy of a San Francisco classic cocktail bar. Nice wines on deck too. Staff were wonderfully at ease and friendly. Finally, the fact that you can lounge on bed-like chaises while looking at the tarmac is extra nice.
Review Source:If you are used to the Business Class or First Class lounges of some of the international carriers (Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, BA @ Heathrow), then this lounge is nothing special and will disappoint. Â But relative to the other US-based carriers' "lounges," it's a big step-up. Â Not entirely sure if it warrants a $50 entrance and ironic that even Amex's own lounge doesn't accept the Priority Pass Select that Platinum card members get (it's being accepted at fewer and fewer locations). Â Food was okay and beverages selection was about what you'd expect. Â Not bad, not great. Â Definitely not "amazing" or "out of this world" as some of the other reviews here suggest.
Review Source:Little bit of paradise outside of D4, Concourse D.
SWANK AND CONTEMPORARY, DESIGNERS PARADISE AND HIGH QUALITY EVERYTHING,
love the little pods and designs of private spaces for this $50/ head entry for AMEX holders. Luckily, we received complimentary passes,
Blown away by the beautiful decor. I seriously would not have minded staying all day in an airport, if I get to do it in style and relaxation too.
There are even tablets and headphones to borrow!! Shower stall room sports L'Occitane prodocts,
All premium cocktails are included at the bar. They start serving at 11:30; guess who was waiting for 1130?!!:) Service and wait staff were prompt and courteous.
Cosmo's Scott Conant heads the buffet bar. It is small...but it is very yummy. Usually only 3-4 offerings for breakfast and for lunch, but again, so good.
Tried fresh compote pancakes and a bit of herb frittata. Espresso machine and mimosas. Then for lunch, a great roasted veg soup, Italian gnudi ( fresh, but needed bit more flavor), and the best braised short ribs...had to nab several of those!
Watermelon guava agua fresca, mango Ceylon iced tea for those who don't drink.
Dessert included vanilla panna cotta, cookies, truffle brownie, and berry crumble bars.
I rolled out of the lounge and wished against turbulence in getting home. Thank goodness I had to get over to Terminal 1: forced a much-needed walk!
I had a complimentary visit to the lounge and decided to use it when my father insisted that I arrive at the airport two hours before my flight. Full bar, buffet, tons of outlets, lounging space, printer, and bathrooms. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO FLY.
Okay, except that it's $50 PER DAY with your AmEx card. I mean, if I was abandoned for several hours and wanted to get schnockered/take a nap before my flight, I'd definitely consider paying it, but it is not something I could make a habit of.
The buffet included roast beef paninis, manchego mac and cheese, a red quinoa salad, sweet potatoes, and other healthy fare. I snagged a few cookies for the plane (I was flying Allegiant, budget airline of everyone's chagrin, and knew I'd get hungry) before heading off---not bad for a few dollars' tip.
The two main benefits of The Centurion are the abundance of power outlets and (if you're as tired as I was and had a little bit of luck) being able to snag one of the large, cushion-y black chairs with sidewalls for additional privacy. Â Secondary benefits are the modern look of the space and the availability of small tables and lounge areas for those travelling in a group. Â There also appeared to be a kids play area which would probably be appreciated by parents.
The complimentary "catered buffet" did not seem like a selling point, and it's almost comical for The Centurion's offering to be described as such by the front desk host. Â The food available was very limited and looked downright unappetizing. Â I passed and instead helped myself to a plastic cup of the mango iced tea (with ice in adjacent ice bucket).
If every visit were complimentary with one's Platinum Card dues, I would probably rate The Centurion at 3-stars. Â At $50 for non-AMEX Black Card holders, I drop The Centurion down to 2-stars, reserving it only for more dire situations where one might be stranded at the airport for an extended period of time (and unwilling or unable to head back to the posh confines of many of The Strip's larger resorts).
Lowering the stars after few recent travels overseas.
Anyways, after 4 months since my last visit... SAME FOOD! No changes.
This place is suppose to have a full staff preparing food. They still served the same chicken and pasta. So basically, same thing on the menu for 4 months. What happens if your a frequent traveler and visit Vegas 4 times a year?
Good thing I don't have to pay. If I did, I expect them to change things up a bit for freshness.
The place is very sleek and modern. Â
I entered the lounge and was very impressed with the place. Â I came around 10:30pm. so the lounge was pretty empty and very peaceful. Â I was able to find a seat basically anywhere I wanted and all of the seats looks so comfortable. Â I walked around for a bit and found a chase lounge. "Oh, how awesome." I said to myself. Â I thought I was about to fall asleep on this chase lounge. Â One of the workers asked me if I wanted anything to drink or if he can bring anything. Â Very professional.
I looked at their menu, but didnt taste any food since I was not hungry at the time. Â The food looked delicious but I'm pretty sure they were probably cold. Â
They have section for children it looks like a little play room which I thought was a a very nice touch because it was the first lounge I have seen where they have a place for kids.
They did a wonderful job with this lounge and maybe next time I would love to taste their food.
This was a nice place to relax in. Has a lot of room, Â is very modern and pretty. Â The staff is really on top of it, not too annoyingly over helpful, but just enough to feel at ease! Â The food was very good with the white wine I tired and I was happy to be able to use their wifi while relaxing in one of the big white sofa chairs overlooking a beautiful view.
Review Source:Fantastic Airport lounge! Great Job by American Express. The lounge has a very Modern and colourful look. Free catered buffett that is really tasty and recommended. They have many different types of seating, with Power, USB and ethernet jacks. They even have waiter service at no charge!
Great Job! They should have these in every major airport.
Wonderful lounge at the Las Vegas airport!
Staff is very professional and courteous. The space is plush and modern, arranged so there are ample cozy spots so you don't feel you're among many other people. All seats seemed to have at least four plugs so iPhones, iPads, laptops, etc... can be charged simultaneously. There is an open bar and buffet, conference room, showers, long tables, cushy chairs, built-in seats, etc... You can't hear the general airport announcements so it's very peaceful, but there are screens with flight info that can be seen from most seating areas.
Looking for a place to pass some time while waiting for a flight, then this is the place. Â I like the comfortable environment to relax between flight and the service from the team here is great. Â The food is very good and I would recommend checking it out. Â For a professional traveler, this is a great find.
Review Source:Came here on a free year pass and it's the best airport lounge I've ever been in. Â I came here with the wife and I had a long 4 hours until my departure. Â The service was very attentive and the lunch buffet was definitely better than most food at an airport lounge and definitely the best I've had in the US. Â I had 5 drinks at the bar (negroni (x2), old fashioned, manhattan, and a gold rush which was one of their signature cocktails) and all were well made. Â Pretty much no way to complain about any of it and if you have a free pass or are lucky enough to be a black card holder - you'd be crazy not to stop by.
Review Source:Compared to all other airport lounges in the US, they deserve 5 stars. Â The food was fresh, well prepared, and tasty. Â The service from the bartender to the wait staff was very good as well. Â the seating is comfortable and wifi is pretty fast. Â And everything was clean and appeared well maintained. Â Wish I could have spent another hour there.
Review Source:Faced a 4 hr. wait between checkout at hotel and flight. Great place to spend time. Spacious, pretty, very attentive staff, good food, good wine, password protected wifi, even lounge type chairs to lie down on and rest.
Because it's behind security and you can get here from SWA (with minor hassles) without having to go through again, would consider leaving early and getting work done with a bite to eat while waiting to board.
Was very impressed with the layout, the food, and the bar. everything was top notch. a lot of attention to detail. Â The food had a lot of fresh healthy options to choose from which I really liked. they had a full bar and fresh juices.
The seating arrangements were very comfortable and the windows were nice and open.
I am so glad I got to experience a few hours of this amazing place. Thanks Amex!!!
First Class facility and staff. It's a much better value than buying a one day pass to the United Club. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was extremely quiet. If you close your eyes, you would never know you we're in an airport. The staff is extremely attentive, I almost felt like I was visiting an all inclusive resort. :)
Review Source:This airport lounge is a world class facility! Â The Centurion Lounge at the Las Vegas McCarran Airport puts all other airport lounges to shame! Â Don't let the $50 entrance fee scare you away! Â They serve outstanding champagnes and vintage wines. Â The food is gourmet. Â When you visit this one of a kind lounge, you'll be treated like royalty! Â The entrees here surpass most of the Las Vegas Strip signature restaurants!
Review Source:Since American does not operate an Admiral's Club in Las Vegas, it was nice to find the brand new Centurion club in Concourse D, just down the hall from the AA gates. Â Opened barely a week, everything is fresh and new. Â The club is exclusive to Amex card members. Â I took advantage of a free pass, but unless you have a Centurion card, expect to pay $50 per person to use the club. Â
Unlike other domestic airline clubs, the Centurion offers a nice buffet and free (and decent quality) drinks. Â Unless I was planning on spending an extended amount of time, I would have a hard time drinking fifty bucks of booze, but it is a pleasant place to spend the time. Â I did not try the buffet, but it did look pretty good. Â Service is attentive and friendly, with coffee and water served at my seat, and plenty of refills.
Among the amenities, they have free wifi (separate from the airport-wide wifi), a variety of comfortable seating areas, lots of outlets, a kids play area, and a shower facility. Â All in all, a very nice facility, and a welcome refuge from the noisy concourse.
