Current Events > My thoughts on the American Express Centurion Lounge (LAS)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Pros:

-Really great drink selection for a complimentary bar. Usually "free" alcohol is well stuff and then a small upcharge for anything better, but this place had a great variety of quality stuff. Great drink menu, got myself a few primm's cups and some wine-based bubbly drink. They a few old fashined options and some johnny walker stuff too but I wasn't trying to go THAT hard before a flight.
-Food buffet was small but quality as well. Steak tri-tip, mac n cheese, peach cobbler, and a variety of mixed greens (none of this iceberg shit)
-I saw they had a shower. I had showered that morning but would've definitely considered it just to say I've showered at an airport before.
-Great variety of seating options for solo, pairs, and larger groups. Their solo seats weren't quite as spacious as the Delta Sky Club solo spots (which are just these MASSIVE desks you get all to yourself with a ton of space to store your luggage underneath), but they looked comfortable enough. -They had some private rooms for reservation that looked decent enough. Good for keeping the loud-ass business talkers contained.
-Very, very quiet. The appeal of these clubs is that they're a place to get away from the riff-raff speakerphone-talking baby-crying children-running "yell-laughing" (people who think volume is the key to indicating how something funny is) plagues that overcrowd airports. Just an absolute safe haven.

Cons
-It was small, we actually had to wait ~15 mins to get in. Still got to hang for an hour and a half. No problem finding a seat either, the wait time serves as a way to make sure people aren't stuck standing or walking around because everywhere is full.
-The men's bathroom only had two stalls and one urinal. I never needed to wait surprisingly, but three units doesn't seem like enough, even for such a small venue. They did have an additional individual gender neutral family bathroom though.

Overall

Great experience. I get in for free with my credit card and can bring guests for $50. A place like this is exactly what you need when you're unwinding from a vegas vacation. Great value and selection especially because LAS is very limited in the restaurant department (at least at the D gates)

What does this have to do with me?

All good. (LAS) just refers to the Vegas airport code, that's the one I was at.

Delta Amex Reserve. Has a $550 annual fee but the perks and signup bonus far outweigh the cost.

Signup bonus alone got me $1,250 worth of delta miles, so I ain't gonna be paying for any flights or upgrades for the next few trips. Includes other things like free access to delta sky club / centurion lounge, a companion pass once a year (literally a free plane ticket for my gf), and some other ancillary stuff like a free checked bag per trip.
