More importantly, which lounge is better at LAX - CO or UA?
Thanks in advance.

I have been in both recently (past 2 weeks). Which lounge is for you depends upon what you want in a lounge. If you are like RNE (over on CO), then a lounge is ....."a lounge" or bar where you get adult beverages. Nothing else matters. In that case CO's PC is for you. The same is true with internet. CO has free wi-fi. If you are a PC member, that is not an issue since RCCs will give you a T-mobile card for internet. But if you come into the RCC in another way, then you will be out a T mobile card and thus, no internet. On the other hand, I think the food choices at the RCC are better than the PC, although the West Coast RCCs are a bit less interesting than the ones in ORD. I also thought the physical appearance and overall condition of the LAX RCC was ok but they were renovating the restrooms at the time of my visit so I cannot tell you about that amenity. However, the fact that they were renovating them should tell you something about their future plans for the club. BTW, I did hit the RCC around noon the day I visited it.
In summary, I do not drink, but I always use Wi-Fi and I am a PC member. Thus, neither impediment to going to an RCC affects me. I think the RCC was ok but not the nicest United club I have visited. I would not go out of my way to walk over to the PC if my flights were on UA. However, someone thirstier may
