AUS seems to be the most likely on that list.

AUS we know is getting a lounge, which is assumed to be a DL SC. However all we know is its getting a lounge for sure, not which airline.

I saw the CLT SC rumor on another thread a while back stating that a GA in CLT said that DL would be moving to the new Concourse A Gates (scheduled to open next year) and there would be a SC in the new Concourse.

I believe the longer term plan for PHX is to rebuild the Terminal 3 North Concourse (where Delta is now) after the South Concourse is complete (2018/2019) and Delta moves to the South Concourse. Then move the airlines in Terminal 2 to the Terminal 3 North Concourse and close Terminal 2.

Like Dallas, I'd expect Houston to see a fair amount of CS flying bridging to and from the coasts.
We have slowly seen DL trying to offer a more robust offering out of AA/UA hubs and I expect that to continue. (same for AA/UA trying to offer more out of DL hubs)
I thought, but could be wrong, that someone on here the club space being built on the new gate expansion would be a SkyClub.

SEA/LAX-IAH will happen at some point. SEA-DFW will come before SEA-IAH, but Houston is too large of a city for DL not to serve from its US hubs.

Two years ago a Red Coat in RIC tried to convince me they had been approved for a Sky Club and that it would be opening in a year. In RIC. And that was a Red Coat.
I laughed and told her that was impossible. She insisted it was true.
So I no longer believe anything until I see the signage in the club ready to greet me.

There are more business travelers going to vegas than most people think. Even independent of conventions.

I didn't say when
I never said WHEN the SC is planned. Like the other poster stated, it will most probably be dependent on terminal remodeling which means sometime in 2018 or maybe 2019. Nonetheless, I thought it was good news to know they didn't forget about PHX.
I agree: LAS desperately needs one.
And yes, bolding it makes it much more credible. Info is from red coat and confirmed with PHX station manager (both of whom are my personal friends). Customer care in ATL even echoed.

/// Re PHX...
Given the distance from PHX to DTW, ATL, etc. I would think PHX could benefit from an SC. The Admiral's Clubs (even the renovated ones) aren't great and the PP lounge is a dump. Before a mid-con, it's always nice to stop in the lounge for a drink or snack.

I've been back and forth on DL to RIC multiple times in August and looks like more in September and for some reason, I thought there was an Admiral's Club. Last month at check in, the DL GA said that the restaurants/bars in the airport don't want any competition, so they're using whatever clout they have to influence the airport authority. And man does it show, the restaurants/bars are depressing and ridiculously overpriced.

I think a PP lounge is more likely. The terrible restaurants there can screw off.

This seems weird. Plenty of people want to get drunk on their way to LAS, but how often do people want to get drunk on their way *out* of Vegas?

LAS Centurion lounge is great addition. But man, does that place get busy. I have visted early morning, late morning, and late evening - it's always been completely packed to the gills. One morning I visited just a few weeks ago, the line to get in was about 20 people long and snaked well out into the concourse.
