Escape doesn't accept PP at their other locations either, and since we know Amex was behind this bid, they have no incentive to accept PP, since it only helps their competitors who don't currently have a lounge option in Phoenix. CSR cardholders can pay $43.32 to enter just like the rest of the public.

Oh, and the lounges must be plenty popular without Priority Pass, because I went online to check the price for this post, and found upcoming dates and times already sold out in the evenings!
