Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge Opens Today at LAS
If you’re traveling through Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas today, you have a new space where you can relax and grab a drink or a quick bite. The first ever Sidecar by The Centurion® Lounge is now open at LAS.
This is a new mini-lounge concept within The Centurion Lounge network. American Express says the space is “created for solo and small groups of travelers”. This is a small, speakeasy-inspired lounge, where eligible Card Members looking for a quick stop can sit and order elevated food and drinks from a menu curated by the award-winning Resy Chefs.
Besides this being a smaller space, there’s also another important distinction from regular Centurion Lounges. Card Members will be eligible to access Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge only within 90 minutes before their flight departs.
About the Lounge
Here’s what American Express has shared with us about what we can expect to see at the first Sidecar by The Centurion® Lounge:
- Restaurant-Style Ordering: Eligible Card Members visiting Sidecar will be seated at the bar or a table. They can place an order through QR code technology powered by Toast and have their food and drinks delivered directly by a server, more akin to a restaurant experience.
- Elevated Bites & Drinks: The menu will rotate regularly and features small plates from James Beard Award®-winning Resy chefs as well as craft cocktails by esteemed Bar Director Harrison Ginsberg. The chefs, whose cuisines are inspired by a range of flavors from Afro-Caribbean to Italian, and whose restaurants you’d have to travel around the country to visit, have created new menu items including:
- Crushed Cucumber Salad with Crispy Rice Pearls by Chef Kwame Onwuachi
- Avocado Toast with Schug Labneh and Black Sesame Seeds by Chef Michael Solomonov
- Mushroom & Mustard Greens Egg Bites with Black Garlic Aioli by Chef Mashama Bailey
- Sidecar Cocktail — Cognac, Cointreau, Lemon by Bar Director Harrison Ginsberg
- Each month, the menu will feature a different specialty Chef Signature Sandwich from The Culinary Collective by The Centurion Lounge, starting with Chicky Chicky Parm Parm Sliders by Chef Sarah Grueneberg.
- Thoughtful Design: Sidecar by The Centurion Lounge’s design reflects the culture of Las Vegas — an “oasis-in-the-desert” concept that feels immersive and premium. The speakeasy-inspired space features desert hues, mixed natural stones, lush foliage and pops of deep American Express blue, as well as nods to Vegas glamour for depth and shimmer, including brass accents, antique mirrors and warm lighting. Its design optimizes its smaller footprint to deliver an efficient experience, while also blending in contemporary elegance familiar to Centurion Lounge visitors.
