Vegas is a diner’s paradise, but the options for those leaving or arriving at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) are considerably more limited. At the airport, there’s still the chance to sample from national chains; a couple of local outposts; and, it being Vegas, a decent number of airport bars. If you’re landing in Las Vegas and less than impressed with the selection, rest assured that you can be on the Strip within minutes, where good dining awaits. Until then, here’s where to dine.
Best Lounge: Capital One
The Capital One Lounge partners with Las Vegas restaurants Vesta Coffee Roasters for locally roasted Goddess Blend coffee and Las Vegas Japanese-style pastry shop Suzuya Patisserie for pastries. The bar serves a frozen cocktail from Herbs & Rye, and Las Vegas Brewing Co. provides a Vienna lager. Small plates are also served. Entry is $90 except for some cardholders.
