Capital One will open its fourth lounge nationwide in Las Vegas (LAS) this Friday, including a new specialty service that will soon roll out to other Capital One Lounges.
The lounge is located in Concourse D of Terminal 1 in the Sin City airport. It measures in at 8,200 square feet, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, and offers some specialty food and beverage options. That includes an entirely new option it calls “Daily Rituals” – a roaming trolley cart delivering specialty food and drinks to passengers, right at their seats.
It joins the notoriously overcrowded Amex Centurion Lounge in Vegas, giving travelers another prime space to relax before a flight. It’s Capital One’s fourth U.S. lounge after locations in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Denver (DEN), and Washington, D.C.-Dulles (IAD) – plus, a restaurant concept in Washington, D.C.-Reagan (DCA).
Construction of this fourth lounge began more than two years ago, and now it’s finally here. Take a look inside.
What You’ll Find at the Vegas Capital One Lounge
The Capital One Lounge in Las Vegas is located near the D gates in Terminal 1, not far from the concourses’ main bank of escalators. It’ll be open daily from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The lounge will feature the same design, amenities, bells and whistles travelers have come to expect from other Capital One lounges. Capital One promises work areas, a relaxation room, water bottle fillers, power outlets at every seat, Wi-Fi, a children’s’ area, and restrooms.
Like all lounges these days, the spot will be decorated with pieces from local artists.
Food & Drink (And ‘Daily Rituals’)
Top-notch food is a staple of Capital One Lounges. This one’s no different.
This new club will feature a robust grab-and-go food area near its entrance for travelers pressed for time. But like all lounges, it will also feature a small plates available to dine for all three meals of the day.
Vesta Coffee Roasters – a downtown Las Vegas coffee maker – will furnish the club’s joe. A full service bar can be found in the club as well, with a signature frozen, gin-based cocktail from the famous Herbs & Rye cocktail bar in Vegas. Other signatures will be a Bloody Mary and a Vienna Lager from Las Vegas Brewing Company.
In addition to alcoholic drinks, the Vegas lounge is clearly aiming toward a wellness theme – just what the doctor ordered for most travelers leaving The Strip. The club promises a fleet of wellness cocktails to “Hydrate,” “Relax,” or “Energize” travelers.
And then there’s the new “Daily Rituals” service, being introduced in Las Vegas before it rolls out to all Capital One Lounges. In Las Vegas, that includes: are also as follows:
- Morning Caffe Shakerato, an Italian-style shaken iced coffee, plus macaroons from local Japanese pastry shop Suzuya Patisserie
- Afternoon Tea: Wellness tea blend accompanied by pastries
- Sunset Sparkling Toast: Sparkling wine
How to Get into the Capital One Lounge Las Vegas
The simplest way to enter the Capital One Lounge Las Vegas is to hold Capital One’s premium credit card, the *venture x*.
Venture X cardholders get complimentary access to all Capital One lounges. Just show your new Venture X card at the check-in desk or pull up your smartphone app.
They’ll also get two guests free on each visit, paying $45 per additional guest after that. Children under two are free.
Learn more about the *venture x*.
Beyond that, Capital One Venture X cardholders can add up to four authorized users to their accounts for free. Each authorized user gets their own lounge access … including another two free guests! That’s the most lucrative benefit you’ll find on any premium travel credit card if you’re hoping to share lounge access.

*capital one venture card* previously received two free annual passes to visit the Capital One Lounges, but no more. As of January 2025, those complimentary passes are a thing of the past. Instead, Venture cardholders (and Capital One Spark Miles cardholders) get a discounted entry rate of $45 per visit. Even after you’ve used up free passes, guests still cost $45 apiece.
Don’t have a Capital One card in your wallet? You can still pay your way into the Capital One lounge.
Anyone can pay $90 to enter the lounge. That’s on the steep side … and that’s likely by design as a way to try to limit overcrowding in these lounges. Most other lounges that allow paid entry charge $40 or so.
But whether you’re grabbing the Venture X Card or simply paying your way in, you can’t just waltz into the new Capital One at any time.
Capital One restricts entry to flyers with a boarding pass no more than three hours before departure. That mimics the same policy Amex enacted (and more recently, the Delta Sky Club) at its Centurion lounges a few years ago to limit crowding. But in this case, you still can’t get into the Capital One lounge even during a longer layover.
As word of Capital One Lounges has spread and more travelers pick up the Venture X card, they’re filling up fast. But you won’t find long lines outside these lounges like the ones you see at Amex Centurion Lounges and or even Delta Sky Clubs.
Capital One cardholders can now scope out how full their nearest lounge is with handy capacity indicators via the Capital One smartphone app – and digitally join the waitlist to get in when it’s full. Join the digital queue on your phone and Capital One will send a text with a pass to get in when it’s your turn.
