After spending one hour in The Club lounge while waiting, we finally could head across to the American Express-operated Centurion Lounge.

Centurion Lounges are accessible on a complimentary basis to:

• Personal, Business and Corporate Platinum Card Members

• Personal and Business Delta SkyMiles Reserve Card Members

• Centurion Members

The Platinum Card, which costs GBP 575 per year, is the card readers will most likely be using to enter the lounge.

The lounge is located in the D Gates of Las Vegas Airport and can be easily spotted with its garish exterior.

The reception area, where your credentials are verified, follows the same thematic design of other Centurion Lounges including their space in London Heathrow’s Terminal 3.

Amex have made this an inviting and warm space that feels welcoming. We sat at one of these booth tables for our entire stay which worked well for a travelling group of two people.

Convenient and, more importantly, operable power outlets were available at the table despite this being primarily for dining.

Similarly to The Club, the lounge provided excellent panoramic views across the apron.

Our table was conveniently located near to the buffet area. The food offering was both extensive and tasty but often ran out of food as fast as the staff would bring it out.

Here’s the food they had on offer during our visit which was more in the home comforts category than being ultra-premium.

An impressive bar can be found nearby, although I found the bar staff a little lacking and rude at times - which is more likely a symptom of how busy the place was.

The drinks menu is extensive, and all spirits are included - no extra fees here.

The remainder of the lounge is comprised of a few different seating areas. The one located close to the bar is designed for table dining - although no table service is offered.

Elsewhere, lounge style seating with comfy armchairs and sofas are deployed.

Enclosed rooms were available although I’m not sure what the conditions for entry were - I assume these are more for families with children?

Meanwhile, easily accessible phone rooms are available - even if very few of the guests actually used them…

In a design akin to the London lounge, private booths are available to work from as well as co-working table. Power outlets as well as a printer were available to those using this space.

Bathrooms were kept clean throughout the duration and featured a modern design. Shower suites are available, but I didn’t manage nor need to use it.

The Centurion Lounge at Las Vegas Airport is an excellent space but, like so many of these spaces, it was near or over capacity towards the end of our stay. This made it a little uncomfortable and far from the elevated experience many hope for. If you have an eligible card, you too should take advantage of visiting.
