The Capital One Lounge Las Vegas is located in Concourse D. Is that concourse in Terminal 1 or Terminal 3? I have no idea. It might be both or it might be neither. It seems like you can get to Concourse D from either main terminal building depending on which airline you are flying and where you want to go through security. I think LAS airport is one of the worst laid-out airports in the country as it’s quite confusing even beyond the fact that there’s no Terminal 2 yet there is a Terminal 3.

Anyway, I found my way to Concourse D and conveniently for me, the Capital One Lounge was close to the Delta gates. There’s no SkyClub yet in Las Vegas although one is apparently under construction. There is also a brand-new Chase Sapphire Lounge, but that is in Concourse C and requires an extra tram ride to access from Concourse C so I did not visit that lounge. It’s very small and I was concerned about a wait to enter after making the trek over there. Concourse D is also home to the Amex Centurion Lounge and The Club Las Vegas if you have access to those lounges instead (or in addition to) the Capital One Lounge.

When I reached the lounge, there was no line, but I was told there was a short wait. It only took about five minutes before I was allowed to enter. I showed my Capital One Lounge Pass in my Apple Wallet which saved me digging out my Venture X card. Remember that guests will no longer be complimentary at Capital One Lounges after January 31, 2026 unless you spend at least $75,000 on either the Venture X or Venture X Business card. That should reduce crowding at these lounges, although I didn’t feel like the lounge was that crowded the whole time I was there nor was there a line when I exited.

Similar to the JFK Capital One Lounge, the Vegas version stretches horizontally across the concourse behind other storefronts and is wide but not very deep. The main foyer has snacks and drinks to go if you are in a hurry or you want to grab something on your way out. Then you walk through a hallway past the bathrooms on the right (all individual restrooms) into the main seating area which mainly overlooks the concourse tram station and not the taxiways.

There is a nice bar where I sat initially. You can order drinks there and grab food from the buffet.

I tried the Cop in a Raincoat and it was very good. Not too sweet. The bartenders were friendly and I ordered the same drink from each of them so we had a friendly comparison. I called it a tie 🙂

Here’s the current menu. They were serving the lunch and dinner options when I was visiting.

The buffet has a lot of small plates so you can load up and try everything without looking like too much of a glutton. Unlike JFK, there’s no made to order food via QR code (or a bagel counter or cheese counter) but the buffet has a lot of options.

Everything was very tasty. There were also some desserts in a separate area across from the main hot food area.

After finishing my food and drinks, I moved over to a comfortable lounge chair where I sat and waited for my flight to start boarding. Or so I thought. As I mentioned in a prior post, I had a bit of a nightmare with multiple Delta flights canceling due to maintenance issues.

I also enjoy the soft drinks and coffee on tap in the Capital One Lounges. The bar also has these for the popular mixed drinks and wines, but the bartenders made my drinks fresh each time.

I ended up returning to the Capital One Lounge after switching to the 10:15pm flight and they welcomed me back in with no problems. I sat in a lounge chair and watched the Monday Night Football game on my iPad. There’s no TVs at the bar, but I think that makes for a calmer and quieter experience for all guests. The Wi-Fi was plenty fast enough for streaming.

I grabbed some yogurt covered pretzels, a water and a sandwich for breakfast on my way out since my flight wouldn’t be serving any food. In the end, I switched to a later redeye and had time to visit another lounge.

I really enjoyed the Capital One Lounge Las Vegas. Compared to the Chase and Amex lounges I’ve been to, all of the Capital One Lounges have better food and are at least equal if not better in their beverage program. Probably due to the smaller footprint, the Vegas lounge is not as unique and interesting as the JFK lounge, but I would definitely score it way ahead of the nearby Amex Centurion Lounge. My wife and I will be passing through Vegas in March so I look forward to being back in the Capital One Lounge again fairly soon.
