The sidecar lounge at LAS airport has been on my list but since I usually fly early in AM I couldn't get a chance. It is so cool! You have to be within 90 min window of departure to get access here. Everything is ordered off the app and they bring your food and drinks to you very quickly. The food is amazing! The lobster roll with caviar is the absolute best! We also loved the smash burger, truffle fries and yuzu custard. Excellent selection of cocktails, wine and beer. The staff is very efficient and friendly. Maana, the hostess at check in, was super sweet!
Great addition to LAS. I like the fact that you can only come in 90 mins before your flight and the concept deters bigger groups from coming in. You can still go to centurion if youre on the waitlist here. But if theres a wait for both you have to pick one. Most times Ive been I did not have to wait more than 5 minutes to get in. During peak hours/post conferences the wait can be long like all the other lounges, so I recommend joining the waitlist via the app before the 90 minute mark. Inside is cozy and quiet. Tables are small and awkward but staff is super friendly and attentive if you need to clear it. The desserts are honestly best I ever had.
They weren't kidding when they said it was only a 30 seater. This is a very small well-designed atmosphere. Everything is made to order the bartender is attentive. The lobster roll was scrumptiously delicious. The truffle fries were nice, and they made a good cup of coffee. This place is not meant for big parties. Grab a bite and go before takeoff
I was excited to finally come here! I was thinking what a way to end my birthday celebration in Vegas was here for breakfast. Got here right before they opened at 8. The host said it's a fancy restaurant style where you order your food and you can only get in 90 minutes before your flight. Well that would work for us when it takes 30 minutes for my husband to walk back to the southwest terminals. Plus if you need to order and wait for your food that's probably cutting it short. I understand some folks stay awhile. We are that type we just want a shot of espresso and a quick bite and we are out in 30 minutes or less. Maybe one day they would consider letting us try this place with more time to get back to our gate. I will change my rating when I can get in.
I stopped by the Sidecar by Centurion Lounge at LAS and was lucky enough to get a seat. Keep in mind they only allow guests to enter within 90 minutes of their flight, and seating is very limited. The lounge is beautiful, intimate, and feels more high end than a typical airport lounge. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Felipe, the host, was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and the wait staff often stopped by to check on you. You order all of your food and drinks by scanning a QR code at your table. I had the shrimp and grits, the beet salad, and a couple of cocktails. Everything was well prepared, beautifully presented, and tasted great. I didn't notice any families here. It was mostly solo travelers and couples. If you have the chance to visit, I'd definitely recommend Sidecar over the larger Centurion Lounge if you're looking for a more elegant and elevated experience. Just be aware that seating is limited, and you can't check in until 90 minutes before your flight.
Would you believe that an airport lounge is nicer than some higher end bars and restaurants? That is the experience here at Sidecar which is a slightly new concept for Centurion Lounge. The name Sidecar is fitting since a sidecar on a drink is a small little shot to give you an extra boost to your libation. Centurion created these small lounges tucked away where you can get some respite in your airport travels. Experience here was nothing but great. They do offer smaller bites so there is no grabbing a plate and playing food Tetris like you see at the food area of many lounges, especially the Centurion ones. The food is based on recipes from many famous James Beard chefs like Kwame Onwuachi and Sarah Gruenberg. No need for you to get up and go to the bar as everything is brought to you and you can order via a QR code. You can also sit at the bar. Surprisingly this place was a bit empty on the day we visited. For drinks I had a platinum mule and a mojito. I enjoy mojitos and even more so when actual fresh mint is used. So many places I have been to offer mojitos say they are out of mint but yet still serving the drink. How is that possible unless they are using mint simple syrup and premade flavors......which they are. Appreciate the effort in using fresh ingredients. Service all the way around was great and I have not marked an airport lounge with a five-star rating since Japan. Well deserved of this rating. If it is a complaint about this place, it is most likely related to the constant changes to lounge access or it being full.
First and foremost, the staff here are incredibly nice and efficient! They make you feel so welcome and like you are relaxing at someone's house living room. We have been twice and haven't had to wait thank goodness. Funny we were sat at same place both times. You do get seated by staff, although you could ask for a different place to sit and its up to them to say yes or no. You only get 90 minutes so plan accordingly and be hungry! The place is small but so beautiful and quaint. There are 2 restrooms which are clean and roomy. The furniture is comfy and is a mix of long benches, chairs and the bar. Would be difficult to get a big group in though, mostly for couples or single travelers. The menu is QR and there are plenty of things to try. If there are two of you, very easy to get one of each and share. The food is amazing and comes out quick. This last time we had the lobster roll and it was in the buttery fresh bread. And we had the cute cheese plate, that was so good! We still love the Centurion but this location is great to help with overcrowding and just gives us something new.
Been hearing about Sidecar by Centurion lounge since the beginning of the year! I had the pleasure of visiting it during July 4th weekend in Vegas. Sidecar is located up the escalator after getting off the D terminal tram. It is tucked in a little corner, right across the Capital One Lounge. When I spotted in, I scanned the QR code to get on the waitlist. Sidecare does not have waitlist on the amex app, I had to be physically there to scan the code. 90 minutes before departure time only. Since it was just me, I waited about 20-30 minutes before they texted me a code to come in Upon walking in, it gave lux/premium vibes, with marble tables and counters, mauve and gold accents. It felt like an upscale restaurant, as there was immediate water and napkins and cutlery set down at my table as soon as I sat down. I also had someone walk me to my table and explain the QR code menu and wifi. outlets under every seat. its a smaller lounge, so it seats up to 33 people. because it is smaller, they offered to put my luggage to the the side so it wouldn't block foot traffic. I ordered almost everything on the food menu - mini lobster roll: a top fave. the roll was buttery and I could really taste the toasty buttery bread paired with the sweet lobster and dollop of caviar - truffle fries: oooo I couldn't finish this, but it was so good. paired with a truffle aioli as well. they were soft pillowy fries and they were still yummy when cold -crispy salad with oranges: nice refresher course in between bites of food. -chicken burger: I thought the design was cool since they had the amex logo stamped on it. The chicken was was alright but the coleslaw and bun made it dry. orange flavor olive oil cake: MUST GET. moist and enjoyed the dollops of cream and the berry jam/compote on the side. It wasn't super sweet so it was great for my asian taste buds I also got the espresso martini. delicious per usual. I did not have time to try the other drinks they had, but they had a wonderful selection of beers wines and cocktails! the bar looked like there were 3 people working. can't wait to come back!!
Stopped in for the first time. The food was terrific and our waiter was great as well. My wife and I enjoyed our visit here very much.
I've been to the sidecar lounge by Centurion at the Las vegas airport about three times this third time. I also took my wife.. I have to say the food is excellent. The service is excellent and the ambience is excellent. The most recent time I have the same thing I had on the other occasions the lobster roll with caviar I had an old-fashioned, which was excellent. Also had the Caesar salad and the truffle fries well done once again. I'd highly recommend if you're at the Las vegas airport since it's the only sidecar in the continental United States. And once again, membership has his privileges!
First time I heard of Sidecar was right before my recent trip to Las Vegas. Given that I haven't stepped foot in LAS in years since I usually drive to Las Vegas, it was a good chance to try something different. It's actually pretty easy to miss if you're not looking for it since it's tucked away in a super small corner of Concourse D. As soon as you enter, Sidecar gives off major speakeasy vibes. It's not huge inside, but you can tell immediately that it's an elevated space. They have a pretty diverse menu of creative cocktails (not that I would know anything about it since I don't drink). Having had a pretty big meal right before we got here, I wasn't super full. But I definitely had to try something from their made-to-order menu, so I got the Mini Lobster Roll (which quite honestly isn't that mini) and the Orange Scented Olive Cake. These were way better than I would expect for lounge food, that's for sure. Both were restaurant quality. Really enjoyed the lobster roll, as it had very fresh lobster and was topped with caviar. Service here was fine. They were all very friendly here. One note is that they somehow missed my original lobster roll order and I had to tell them, but they fixed that mistake pretty quickly. One note I will also add is that you can only check in 90 minutes before your scheduled departure time, so realistically you only get like 40-50 minutes here before boarding since you have to walk to your gate. I imagine that is due to the small size of the place and to ensure people are consistently going in and out. Overall, Sidecar is a great concept that I would love to check out again in the future.
There is no Sidecar in MIA or FLL, so it was a treat to experience this at LAS. There was a wait, so I headed over to the Centurion Lounge first (where there was also a wait). It was worth it. Moody, reserved seating, curated menu, bespoke cocktails, YES! One of the two women at the front could have been more polished (the taller, slimmer of the two), after she walked me around the bar, she threw her hand at the last table, I stopped. She did it again then turned to look at me and said, "there." Every time I have an opportunity, I will choose Sidecar by the Centurion Lounge in spite of some people's lack of professionalism.
What a treat to finally visit this beautiful new lounge in Vegas. A wonderful departure from the typically super busy Centurion lounge. Our waiter/friend was Earl who treated us like family and made sure our party was well fed and watered. He even filled our hydration bottles! Exceptional customer service and the food was super high quality and made you feel like you were dining in a speakeasy. Very well done AMEX!

With so many lounge choices at Harry Reid, including Capital One, Sapphire, and Centurion, I'm glad Amex decided to create a small speakeasy lounge that's unique to Harry Reid. You can only enter 90 minutes before your flight. There are probably around 10 bar seats and 10 small tables, so the space is quite tight. I would not recommend it for a large group. I've been here twice, and both times I waited about 20 minutes on the waiting list. Once you get in, that's where the wait is worth it. Their lobster toast on brioche is definitely the highlight. I've also tried a couple of their drinks. Some were really good, while others were just okay. They also have two individual bathrooms located in the back of the lounge, which is convenient. Overall, this is a fun lounge to check out if you're flying out of Harry Reid. One tip: get on the waiting list right after you go through TSA. That way, you can spend your waiting less time standing in front of the lounge. read more
This speakeasy-type lounge is fairly new, less than a year old so far! I had time to visit Sidecar by the Centurion Lounge at the Las Vegas airport recently. Location: Terminal 1, concourse D. Not really near any gates. If you go up the escalators after leaving the tram/shuttle, you can see it on the second floor to the left. It's in the corner opposite of the Capital One Lounge. Food: You have to order both food and drinks on the QR code at your table. The food I had was great! The burger is on the smaller side, which is great if you want to try a bit of everything. I think lobster roll was the best thing I tried. I loved the figs in the charcuterie board. I think they could have added walnuts and almonds as an option for people who aren't allergic. Service: It was like being in a nice restaurant where there is a host to check you in, a server to lead you to a table, and another server that asks you "still or sparkling". It was interesting to be waited on inside an airport lounge! Notes: -Access and everything inside is free for American Express cardholders. There is a list of which cards posted at the entrance. -Check in is allowed only up to 90 minutes prior to flight DEPARTURE, not boarding. This is nice if you have a flight out of the D gates. It might be risky if your flight is A B or C. My overall takeaway is this lounge is nice to try good food. However it was on the smaller side, so there was not much space to set down luggages and backpacks. The ambiance is definitely more upscale rather than homey. I usually don't dress to impress for a flight, so it felt different to be inside such a nice lounge. read more

Great lounge! Great concept! Speaksy type lounge for American Express? Hell yeah! Full service, great service, actually better service than any speaksy I have been at!

What a find! The American Express Lounge at Harry Reid Airport is usually very busy. If you want a slightly different experience, look just a short walk away for the recently opened Sidecar Lounge. It's literally tucked away around the corner of the Amex Lounge. A "speakeasy" feel due to the location, size and menu options. From the train taking you to terminal D, go up the left escalators. Once at the main level, make a left U turn around the escalators. Follow the white walls on your right a very short distance and you'll come upon a brown wooden wall and the entrance to Sidecar! There were two hosts at the entrance checking in guests. The while there was a bit of a wait, travelers were exiting as we arrived. Seating is VERY limited compared to the Amex Lounge. Maybe 6 seats along the bar with 2 additional spots around the corner. 4 individual tables along the window and a small couch in the corner for groups that might seat a total of 10. There are QR codes at every table to order from the menu. Servers will also welcome you to the lounge and happily take orders. Food menu is limited but unique. I tried most of the listed items including the Citrus Caesar Salad, Lobster Roll and the Charcuterie Board. I also enjoyed The Spa Day mocktail which was recommended by our server and very refreshing. Julie also enjoyed the lemon dessert that was tasty! All the food and drinks are promptly brought to your table. Handcrafted drinks are plentiful. There are two clean and convenient restrooms located just past the bar. Keep in mind that your stay here is limited. You can check in only 90 minutes prior to your flight. Great find at Harry Reid for a new unique Amex Lounge experience. Keep on Yelp'n! read more
I had the opportunity to visit Sidecar by the Centurion Lounge today, and it completely exceeded my expectations. This is American Express' first ultra-premium Sidecar lounge in the U.S., located just about a minute away from the current Centurion Lounge in Las Vegas. The experience is on another level. They offer an incredible selection of drinks, from handcrafted cocktails to premium whiskey and top-shelf spirits. The food was outstanding--my favorites were the mini lobster roll topped with caviar and the perfectly crispy truffle fries. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and worthy of a fine dining restaurant. Even the smallest details stand out. They even serve premium branded bottled water instead of generic house water, which really shows the level of attention they put into the guest experience. If you're flying through Las Vegas, I highly recommend arriving early so you have time to experience the Sidecar Lounge before your flight. You'll immediately notice the difference from a typical airport lounge. Now I just hope American Express opens one at SFO soon! This is easily one of the best airport lounge experiences I've ever had. read more
Best Centurion lounge I've been to yet. To be fair this is more a restaurant than a lounge. If you have the black card you can just go to the desk and they will give you next available. Platinums will have to queue and I can tell it's tight on time. Food was excellent and high quality. Service was great and fast. Got in and out in 20 minutes. Beautiful decor. read more
Great service and staff. It's a small lounge but it has all the key needs of a centurion lounge. Bar, drinks, good food you order and they bring out. It's not meant for long stays bc it's small but so long as your flight is within 90 ministers you can come inside (pause) . Highly recommend and great service levels read more
Must try in Vegas airport! Get on the wait list. So worth it. Small intimate setting with a lot of Amex~inspired decor. Speakeasy feel with good food and drinks. SUPER friendly bartenders. 5 star experience in an airport. read more
Love this lounge! This is always our first stop now when we travel! So far when we come here; it's been early and not during the busy time. We got the breakfast a couple times now and it's as good as lunch/dinner! I love how they have healthy options like the chia pudding or avocado toast! Service is still great! Everyone is so professional and welcoming! Great ambiance! I love how exclusive this is. This is what you pay the annual fee for. read more
New Amex lounge at LAS. Elevated service and curated menu at this mini-speakeasy style airport lounge. Intimate space ideal for 1-2 people. Note: Entry from 90 mins before flight time only (if you arrive earlier, go to the main Amex lounge, entry up to 3 hours before flight time) Location: At the top of the main escalator at Terminal D. Tip: Faster if you join the virtual waitlist on the Amex App, while riding the tram to the terminal. Vibe: Intimate speakeasy bar. Mostly single seating cocktail tables and long bar seating. Can accommodate 2 people at side by side tables or seats. Tough for larger groups (go to main Amex lounge). Tables are very small and space is tight. So if you prefer to spread out, go to the main Amex lounge. Food: Order food and drinks via QR code. Food comes up super quick and tasty. Food definitely feels elevated here. Waiters working the tables are attentive, tip is appreciated. Been here for borne breakfast and lunch and really enjoyed the food. Highlight: Lobster Roll is legit and Shrimp Grits are legit. Quick in and out. read more

I've been to most the lounges at major airports, Centurion, Capital One, Chase. This was my first time at the Sidecar. I don't think a lot of AMEX cardholders even know it's there as it's tucked in the corner almost like a pseudo-speakeasy. It's very small but upscale like the lounge at a nice steakhouse. You scan the QR code at your table to get the menu and can even order online. If you are in a rush, skip ordering online and flag your server down and let them know you are in a hurry. The menu is upscale (mini lobster roll with caviar (which was very bready), etc) but VERY limited. There are a lot more food options in the main Centurion Lounge. Also the Sidecar has only bar seats and lounge seating with very small tables. Not a good place to work. My gut opinion is that it felt a bit contrived to try to make the clientele feel pampered, which probably is appreciated by the more fussier travelers. Maybe they have a few more top shelf liquor and wine options but think overall you're not missing much going to the main lounge especially if you want a more open feel and space to work. Because the sidecar is lesser known, the wait, at least for now, may be a bit shorter than the main lounger but honestly it's probably a crap shoot. You could inquire at the check-in at both then decide. Because it is assigned seating the bar service is relatively quick without a long line of people like you get in the main lounger. So if you want really good bar service like they have at the Seattle lounge, this would be preferred over the main lounge. read more
I was eyeing this spot during a previous trip but it was already closed. Note: you're able to enter in 90 minutes prior to departure. Since I was a bit early, I was informed that I could go to the Centurion Lounge first then come by after. I had mistakenly added myself to the wait list for Sidecar but they were able to remove me. Centurion is known for having a buffet bar and a bigger selection of alcohol with a larger sitting area. It was just as clean and easy to find my way around the Centurion Lounge and Sidecar. For Sidecar, smaller footprint with a check in desk at front (1 attendant) and limited seating (up to 33 people)--honestly more ideal for 1 to 2 people. The attendant checked me in after verifying my card and Boarding Pass. Another individual led me in and gave me my assigned seat--can opt for seats all around or at the bar. This spot has been around for about 3 months with a smaller a la carte menu, craft cocktails and mocktails, and wine options. A server came around and greeted us but our orders ultimately came from QR code with some stuff included and others incurring a fee tied to your credit card used for entry. I was drawn to the lobster roll with caviar and a cucumber forward mocktail. The server was attentive and immediately brought out water (still) and I got my order almost immediately. I had to eat and run because I had devoted more time to the Centurion Lounge, but I would definitely return to try out other items on the rotating menu and other drink options. On my way out the staff that checked me in wished me safe travels and hoped to see me return for a future visit. Honestly, I'd return and spend the majority of the 90 minutes before my flight at this spot. read more
Other than the wait time to get in, this place is phenomenal! I'm not even going to fool with getting into the Centurion Lounge going forward tbh. They assign seats, have a curated menu, deliver drinks & food to your table, and have a tarmac view for each seat. Chris the bartender was amazing! Very attentive while balancing making drinks for the entire joint - mark of a true professional! Every time I come through, will be stopping here for sure! read more

We loved all the food and drinks at this new Amex lounge, located at Concourse D near the regular Amex lounge and is straight back to the open area around the corner and behind the bathrooms hidden. You can enter 90 min before plane departure time which is about 60 min before boarding time. The menu is highly curated with small bites but you can order as much as you want and drinks are all complimentary! Best Food: - Mini Lobster Roll - Parmesan Truffle Fries - Lemon dessert - Crushed cucumber salad - Espresso Martini read more

There's nothing better for slowing down the buzz of Las Vegas than grabbing a quick bite before your flight at the new American Express lounge for Platinum and Centurion cardholders. Sidecar is tucked into a corner across from Gate D1 at Harry Reid International Airport, and it's a cozy space with about 30 seats. The menu features gourmet small plates served right at your table. I had the mini charcuterie plate and a mini lobster roll on toasted brioche, both excellent. The real surprise of the visit was the Meyer lemon posset, which was outstanding. It's a great space for small groups and quick stops, since access is limited to within 90 minutes of your departure time. read more
Have a last minute emergency out of town so I was able to stop by for the first time while waiting for my flight out of concourse D. The server Nora was amazing. She's caring, quick and attentive. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. If you have an Amex Platinum or above and are flying out of Harry Reid you absolutely need to check this place out. Fair warning they only allow you in 90 minutes before your flight and it's very small and intimate, but super cozy. read more
Phenomenal new Amex "Sidecar" Centurion lounge experience at Las Vegas airport! The location is right behind the escalators in Concourse D and has a speak easy vibe. Upon check in, you do have assigned seats and you are escorted by an attendant to your seat and you can place your order with the server or through the QR code at your seat. Our server Charlie was incredible and made the new experience easy as this lounge has only been opened three days. They do recommend ordering 2 appetizers with your drink and the servers bring this all to your table. The lounge does request 90 min departure times (different than the 3hour departure times of the original Centurian). Service and food were impeccable and look forward to going back soon. Pro tip check in once you are through security and you are placed on the waitlist. read more
If you want a lounge with great cocktails and food and no kids (no offense) this is the spot. The bartenders are mixologists open to create and try new cocktails with suggestions from guests. The food was very good and this was the beat Centurion experience I have had! read more
Such a great lounge. A serve is there to greet you but you can also scan a QR code and order from the table. We got in Immediately and got a drink, food, and snacks in 10 minutes. It was half full but still quiet. Joel was our server and very kind and funny. The menu was not very big, but everything we had was good. I learned this was only opened for one month and things seem to run smooth. read more

One of the best lounges I've ever been to at an airport. It's like a mini Resturant and you need to order. Service very quick and efficient. Very nice chill vibe inside. Not too many seats in so of it is busy you will need to wait for the waitlist. Honestly was a much nicer vibe than the crowded centurion lounge. Would come here 1st. Truffle fries were really good. Sando was just so so. Cake was very nice. read more
We are Delta reserve members and no issues getting in. Use your American Express app to sign into the waitlist under membership, LAS, select Sidecar. Service is exceptional. Drinks, plentiful and made to order. We had the shrimp and grits and beats and toast, small apps very tasty. Best way to explain this speakeasy would be a mini Delta one club. Big punch for a little spot.. loved it read more
Excellent service...excellent food!! Tried the lobster roll, chicky chicky sandwich, truffle fries, and an old fashioned. Everything was delicious! This will be the best lounge food you ever have. Caviar on the lobster roll...what?! The bread was chewy, lots of lobster...and it went perfectly with the truffle fries. The chicky chicky sandwich was a fried chicken patty topped with marinara sauce and cheese, sort of like a pizza sammy. The Meyer Lemon Posset dessert was so good...I had to have 2! If you do visit, get on the waitlist at the 90 min mark before your flight so you have plenty of time to enjoy the food and drinks. read more
Cute, quaint and perfect for a quick snack and drink while you wait for your flight. Did not know this little sidecar existed until I hap-hazardously saw a sign and asked what this was all about. They said this was a small bar with some food that was made to order. Must only be within a certain time of your flight. I think she said 90 minutes. I'm not sure I was only here 60 minutes before my flight. Staff was great small and cute. Perfect because you don't have to walk around in circles to find a seat they only see you if there is an available opening and it's small enough to see drinks and food were great. I had the gin Yuzu and lobster roll and olive cake came out super fast. read more
