I just received Priority Pass as a benefit of the Citi Platinum AMEX card. The main reason for my applying for that card is the thank-you points. I suppose among the lougnes' facilities, internet access sounds appealing & shower could come handy if one were to make another connection (or have to see clients right away thereafter) for several hours after a long flight. Aside from these, are there any other attractions of the airport VIP lounges that justify the cost?

I assume telephone and teleconference facility are not a big factor since almost everyone carries a cell phone and would not necessary need the added facility to conduct business phone calls. I also assume alcoholic drinks isn't a determining factor (although it might be important to some other folks), unless the drinks offered at the lounges are rare/special kind.
