Lounge Review: Inside Amex Centurion Lounge Las Vegas Airport

Las Vegas airport Amex Centurion Lounge, entrance.

In 2021, the Las Vegas airport Amex Centurion Lounge was refreshed and reopened to the public.

We were in Las Vegas back in August 2024, but didn’t get a chance to visit the lounge when waiting for our flight back to Houston as the wait list for the lounge was 20+ people long.

In November, we were back at Las Vegas airport after a 11 day trip driving through Utah, Arizona and Nevada.

This time it was a Monday and the airport (and lounge) was much quieter! No waitlist to get into the lounge.

We had about 30 minutes at the Las Vegas Amex Centurion Lounge before it was time to head to our gate to catch our flight.

Flight Diary: Flying on Qantas Airbus A330 Business Class (Perth – Sydney)

Last year, in August 2023 we made the big move from Perth, Australia to Houston, USA.

It was a long journey hopping across multiple time zones and taking three medium-to-long haul flights to get to the literal opposite side of the world.

Around 21 hours of flight time and 5.5 hours of airport layovers.

In a previous blog post, I shared my flight experience in United Airline’s Polaris business class from Sydney to Las Angeles.

Today, I want to dive into our bittersweet moment of leaving our hometown of Perth, albeit temporarily, to have a once in a lifetime experience of living and working in another country.

We were fortunate to be flying in business class on my husband’s company dime for the all segments of our journey to the USA.

We flew in the Qantas Airbus A330 business class cabin for our 4 hour flight from Perth to Sydney.

So lets dive into how it went.
