Exclusive-to-Vegas amenities
Setting itself apart from other Capital One lounges, the Las Vegas location offers a curated selection of exclusive experiences. Travelers can indulge in a refined afternoon tea service, featuring wellness tea blends from Art of Tea paired with delectable pastries from Suzuya Patisserie. As the sun dips below the horizon, guests are invited to partake in a sunset sparkling wine toast, a delightful way to commence their evening journey. For those seeking a wellness boost, the lounge provides customizable beverage add-ons, incorporating ingredients like nano potassium, ashwagandha, and vitamin C to hydrate, relax, or energize.
Full-service bar and bespoke beverage program
The lounge's full-service bar is a visual and experiential highlight. Featuring a striking design with cascading black tiles and reflective tubular lighting, the bar creates a captivating atmosphere. The beverage program is equally impressive, showcasing bespoke cocktails crafted in collaboration with local mixologists. The "Green Goblin," a frozen concoction created with Herbs & Rye, blends Fords Gin, dry riesling, kiwi, pineapple, and Absinthe Verte, served in a handcrafted clay mug. Signature cocktails like the spicy Bloody Mary and "classic Vegas" inspired drinks, such as the "Cop in a Raincoat" margarita, reflect the city's vibrant spirit. The "Perfect Airport Beer" program features a refreshing Vienna Lager, brewed by the female brewers from Las Vegas Brewing Company. In addition, the "Rare Bottle Club" offers guests the opportunity to purchase premium liquors and wines.
Unveiling a new standard of airport luxury
The wait is over for travelers seeking an elevated airport experience. Capital One's new Las Vegas lounge, spanning approximately 8,200 square feet with seating for 135 guests, mirrors the spaciousness of its Washington Dulles Intl Airport (IAD) counterpart. Located in Terminal 1, Concourse D, near gate 50, the lounge provides panoramic views of the airport's bustling rotunda, offering ample opportunities for people-watching, as well as glimpses of the tarmac and distant Strip skyline. Open daily from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., the lounge caters to travelers throughout the day.

Design and ambiance
As you walk in, the spacious lobby wows with a mirrored ceiling and a grab-and-go spot. The design pulls from the nearby desert, using earthy tones and textures like sandstone. Capital One worked with local artists to fill the walls with lively abstract art, enhancing the vibe. Seating ranges from stools with views of the rotunda to circular tables with power outlets and purse hooks. Each seat has a charging station. There are also 2 private workspaces for focused work and a calming relaxation room that reflects a peaceful night sky. All 6 gender-neutral restrooms come with changing tables.
Culinary delights and local partnerships
Capital One takes pride in serving a carefully selected menu of healthy small plates. The buffet includes breakfast items like Greek yogurt parfaits, avocado toast, and sweet potato hash. The all-day menu features items, such as deviled eggs with caviar, falafel hummus bowls, and short rib with truffle sauce. A self-serve tap system provides artisanal sodas in special flavors. Capital One has teamed up with local favorites Vesta Coffee Roasters for their Goddess Blend and Suzuya Patisserie for tasty pastries and macaroons.
Access and future expansion
Venture X and Venture X Business cardholders get unlimited free access to Capital One Lounges and 2 free guest passes each visit. Extra guests pay $45 each. Venture and Spark Miles cardholders have access for $45, while others pay $90. Kids under 2 are free with eligible cardholders.
