The lounge, located in Terminal 1 of the Harry Reid International Airport, aims to translate the city’s limitless energy and electric entertainment scene into a memorable design for all travelers.

The lounge’s dining options feature a seasonal menu curated by well-known restaurant group Momofuku, which is also part of the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables program. Alongside spicy cucumber salad and iconic pork buns, visitors can enjoy local Nevada coffee from Dark Moon Coffee Roasters and several locally inspired cocktails.
This Sapphire Lounge location will also feature a never-before-seen champagne parlor, where you can partake in a number of sparkling beverages, including champagne, mimosas, seasonal spritzes and more.
Amenities
