Check the price; 50-100 Argentinian peso for a lounge visit, especially a "VIP" lounge, isn't realistic. Could these be prices quoted in USA dollars?
AEP has nothing and would be a miserable place to spend a day. It's sole advantages are location (close to part of the city) and fairly quick walk from aircraft to bag claim to curb.
Use the day to explore a bit of Buenos Aires.

I have heard they moved the AEP lounge to a new location, but I still haven't tried it. The old lounge was pretty reasonable -- comfortable armchairs, newspapers, and some decent food and drink offerings (Nespresso coffee, Freddo ice cream, etc). Since I usually fly in the mornings I never check the booze. It used to be quite crowded, but apparently the new lounge is much bigger.
I do, however, agree with MSPeconomist -- the best part of AEP is its location. I would use the day to walk around Buenos Aires. If you use the Tienda León coach to get from EZE to the city centre and afterwards to AEP, they have a luggage storage facility at their offices. Otherwise, AA2000 (the airport operator) used to store luggage at AEP -- this worked by reaching the information desk, filling a form and they would take your bags for 12 hours max. I don't know if this is still the case.

Lounges in AEP are worse than those in EZE, and the EZE lounges are all quite lame when compared to anything "proper" you would find in LHR, SIN or a similar caliber airport. Dont waste your money, unless you have the right credit card that will get you free access, dont bother.

Thank you for all your helpful replies.
i will try to find a day room alternative later in the year, but that will need two transfers instead of one with a lot of luggage for a cruise from USH.
