DTW Skyclubs are excellent, although the Center A club can get crowded at peak times around international departures. It can be as if this is the only club that people know of in the airport. The B/C club can experience brief crowds in the middle of flight banks, but between them it is decent. My favorite clubs in DTW are the North & South A at the tram stations. Sure they are a little smaller, but always less crowded and you can get a cool view of the airfield and terminal.

I like the MKE club. It is former NW club. Still "looks" like a NW club. There are 2 staff to check you in, work reservations, etc. I have always had a positive experience with staff and club.
MEM is another great club. I like that it is near Blue note club to eat and close to every flight (for the most part). Again, great staff.
BOS -- I was only there once, but I was very impressed. Clean, airy, bright friendly staff.
MCO -- decent decor, lots of nice "group" areas.
ATL -- as far as I can tell, they are all hit or miss. I've never been overly impressed by any of the clubs there. B10 I end up in most because of the flights I'm on.
DEN -- needs a club.
LAS -- Needs a club.

RDU - Suffered through years in the old CRC closet then 1 1/2 years with no club and am now very happy with the current SC. It's pretty busy in here as I write this.
ATL - many of years of transiting through ATL have created an internal awareness of which club to hit depending on time of day and day of week. ie. - 5 PM weekday, head to E and use the former Business Class lounge. Don't know why they close A center on weekends or all clubs at 10 PM. Big bummer when summer afternoon t-storms cause delays. B10 - OP got lucky, even when I leave out of B10 I don't use that club. T club - found myself in T a lot this year so appreciated this club and smaller crowds.
DTW - Nice clubs.
BOS - Nice club.
IAD - bummed that they closed the fNWA club. Fly AA to IAD now and they have a new AC so...
TPA - works for me but nothing outstanding comes to mind
SFO - why pre-security?
MSP - only a few visits but not stands outs in my mind
DEN - miss the CRC. Have an AA club membership. Now that AA's club is free booze after 10/1 this will help in the coming ski season.

Does UA have a Vegas Club. Depending on what CO/UA do on facilities the CO PC could be available. One of the best Ive been in.
DEN definitely needs one as well. A shame they closed the CR just prior to announicng the merger.

[QUOTE=DLdweeb;14720926]That would be nice but CO/UA would have to get one in return. I would vote for access at BNA for CO/UA folks but that is just me. It would bring in a ton of money for CO from DL. AS BR members still get in there.

BNA: Super southern hospitality, great staff but they will be remodeling as well. Love that they are virtually right next to the gates but agree about that stupid door lock on the men's room.
LAS: Major SC bummer since I am there once/mo. Been told there is not enough space, rents too high, etc. Seems to me this is the highest DL traffic airport without a SC.
Don't get me started...
NRT: And I will +? for NRT. Should be the DL model, awesome club. Nice staff, best food choices. If you gotta be stuck somewhere for hours....

LAS: That is interesting because I heard that CO has the rights to the other side of the routanda. Also there are two other places in the D Gates area for clubs but LAS airport doesn't want clubs from what I have heard. Glad to have the LAS club!
NRT: Nice club, used it a few times two years ago when CO PC got me in!

I always get a cold feeling from the employees at BOS but I agree with everything else. Only other comment I have is they really need to fix all the broken power outlets
