Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge LAS
American Express today announced a new mini-lounge concept, Sidecar by The Centurion® Lounge. Amex is calling this an “intimate airport lounge”, with the first location expected to open at Harry Reid International (LAS) in Las Vegas in 2026. That’s in addition to the regular Centurion Lounge at LAS.
Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge is designed for eligible Card Members looking for a quick bite or drink before they board their flight. Guests can enjoy gourmet small plates and signature drinks curated by The Culinary Collective by The Centurion Lounge in a space created for travelers with limited time.
“Many of our visitors spend less than an hour in our Lounges, and we’ve created Sidecar specifically for them,” said Hendley. “The first Centurion Lounge opened in Las Vegas in 2013, so it’s fitting that we’re launching this new lounge concept at LAS as we continue to innovate to meet our Card Members’ needs.”
The speakeasy-inspired design will feature a palette of earth tones and desert hues, with accents of natural stone, brass, and lush greenery. Access will be complimentary for Card Members who currently enjoy access to The Centurion® Lounge Network, including Platinum Card Members.
Guests will be eligible to access Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge within 90 minutes before their flight departs. Eligible Card Members will continue to have access to the Centurion Lounge at LAS.
Amex also revealed today a partnership with several James Beard Award winning Resy chefs to form The Culinary Collective by The Centurion Lounge, creating a menu of dishes and crafted cocktails inspired renowned restaurants across the country. New menu items will be available in all 15 U.S. Centurion Lounges beginning July 29, 2025. Select recipes developed by The Culinary Collective by The Centurion Lounge will also be available at Sidecar by The Centurion® Lounge.
