Relax! Airport lounges are plentiful at Harry Reid International

Airport lounges are popular because of their comfortable amenities, food and beverage options and facilities to help squeeze in some work while waiting for a flight.

Harry Reid International Airport isn’t as much a stopover to get somewhere else as it is a destination airport.

But consider this: If you arrive at the airport and your flight is delayed, would you rather park yourself at a busy terminal gate filled with aggravated fellow travelers or within the comfy digs of a sponsored airport lounge?

Here’s a list of the airport lounges at Las Vegas’ home airport, according to Harry Reid Airport officials and the Upgraded Points website:
