Chase has just opened its newest airport lounge at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. This lounge, which opens on December 3, is the bank’s ninth lounge and aims to reflect the lively spirit of Las Vegas. Travelers can look forward to a space designed for relaxation and enjoyment.
What to Expect from the New Sapphire Lounge
Access to the Sapphire Lounge for Travelers
The new Sapphire Lounge is located in Terminal 1, Concourse C. Guests can enjoy a variety of complimentary food and drinks, including a unique champagne parlor that offers bar cart service. This lounge is set to be a perfect retreat for many Chase and Priority Pass members, as Las Vegas is one of the top travel destinations.
Benefits for Chase Cardholders
If you hold a Chase Sapphire Reserve® or Chase Sapphire Reserve for BusinessSM, you’ll have unlimited access to the Sapphire Lounges for yourself and two guests. After the first two guests, there’s a fee of $27 for each additional person. Additionally, new cardholders can earn 200,000 points after spending $30,000 in the first six months.

Dining and Relaxation Options
This new lounge spans over 5,300 square feet and is designed with comfort in mind. The dining options include a seasonal menu curated by the popular restaurant group Momofuku. Travelers will find a mix of local flavors, such as spicy cucumber salad and pork buns, as well as coffee from local roasters.
Quiet Zones and Workspaces
For those needing to work or relax, the lounge includes quiet zones with flexible seating and laptop tables. Whether you want to focus on work or unwind with a drink, the Sapphire Lounge creates the right environment.
