How to spend 5 hours in IAH burdened with luggage

I have a long connection in Houston (IAH): arriving on United domestic flight at 4pm and departing on British Airways flight at 9pm.
Unfortunately, I have lots of luggage (2 huge suitcases).
What are my options for enjoying 5 hours in IAH between the flights?
I know that BA check-in desks in IAH opens about 2.5 hours before departure (so there is no way to drop my bags 5 hours before departure).
I have AmEx Platinum, Priority Pass and BA Gold status but all these are useless if I have to exit the secure area in order to collect my bags after United arrival flight.
Is there a paid VIP transfer service in IAH that will collect my bags from United and drop it to BA on my behalf?
