I wish we had one in London Heathrow Terminal 4, there is only a SkyTeam Lounge. Could really do with a decent lounge.

I do not even think Amex knows PHX exists. I have never seen a invitation only event, Centurion event, etc for PHX.

Since the last solid Product Manager for Centurion left, the product has really gone downhill. The current product managers are out of touch with what Centurions really want and need.

Has anyone tried getting in this lounge with a Canadian Platinum Card (and not paid the $50 fee)? Going through the Platinum "manual" it states access to "American Express Lounges" for Card member + 1 Traveling companion

You will love it. Like an Internaitonal Airport Lounge
Take the free pass! the food is great and it is like the Narita or Osaka lounge or Frankfurt lounge where you are treated like a true customer that is highly valued!^

Nice review. I appreciate all of the pictures. The place looks nice. I'll be in LAS this weekend, but out of the A gates (flying US). Any idea how far of a walk that would be, or if I could even do it airside?

When you get to the airport, go through the security for the D gates and then take the tram. On your return, you will need to find someone to open the glass door between the D gates and C gates (before leaving the security area).

Earlier this month I was on my bachelor party, travveling back from LAS-AMS when the plane broke down, leaving us at the gate. After 2.5 hours on the phone with Delta their plan was to split the group of 16 up in smaller groups scattered an various routes homes, and everyone losing their economy comfort seating. After the DL agent send us to the next gate for a LAS-SLC flight and the gate agent denied us, it was time to hang up the phone and I got the group of 16 people into the Centurion Lounge. Excellent food, excellent drinks, but the best thing were the ladies working the front desk. They made new, better travel schedules with Delta, they got our compensation taken care of, they booked us for one additional night into the Four Seasons and we got three nice rental cars: 2 Yukons and a Panamera. They took care of the whole group while we were enjoying the breakfast and lunch, took a shower and just relaxed.
So we had one additonal day in Vegas, in a great hotel and nice rentals. Upon arriving at Hertz, we traded the Panamera for the Ferrari California. We had a great time.
One minor issue: the shower overflows the entire bathroom and even underneath the door into the lounge.

Also, why in the world would you need rental cars to go from the airport to the Four Seasons and back just for 1 night?

Rental car is for shopping and dinner out of town. The strip is nice for a couple of days max.

One nice perk of the free pass was that you can also bring in two guests, which I didn't know. So I texted a buddy who was flying out later than I was, but was flying out of WN.
He said he got denied trying to get to the D gates with his WN boarding pass. Oh well.
It was a very nice lounge, and I enjoyed my hour in there. That said, given I aim to get to my gate 30 minutes prior to boarding, it would not be worth $50 for me. If my plane went mechanical and delayed for 13 hours, like the group near me experienced, then I would see the value.
