DFW
The Club at DFW is disappointing compared to LAS and SJC. DFW's "snack" offering is lousy (something resembling hummus?), space was crowded and noisy in the few times i've stopped in. Generally I get a hot water top up for my contigo at The Club, then head over for an hour of quiet in a Minute Suite.

Can someone describe the LAS lounge in a bit more detail? I will be there soon and was hoping to stop in. It will be early AM, and I usually I just go to Starbucks and then hang at the gate to wait for my flight (on AA). What can I expect at the PP lounge?

Thanks, that's helpful. Any actual personal experiences would be appreciated. (RE: Terminal 3).

Something I really appreciated was the showers for when I take a red eye.
Food leaves a lot to be desired. I get a couple United passes a year be being a Hyatt Diamond and seeing I never fly United I usually use them at LAS. Food is pretty good and next to the Delta gates.

I have 4 expiring Jul 31st because we could not use them and none of our friends want them due to the fly UA condition.

I main use them at LAS when flying Delta but have used them before at the ORD United club that's by the delta gates if I've had a flight that was severely delayed (food is a lot better at the UC and it's a nicer lounge than the ORD skyclub) and have never had an issue. They've just taken the pass and scanned my Delta boarding pass.
The UC is a lot nicer than the PP lounge at LAS, only thing is there are no showers IIRC.

No, you don't have to be flying United with the passes you get as part of your Hyatt Diamond package (I have a friend that has a United Credit Card and gets a couple passes every year and doesn't use them and give them to me and they work as well). You just have to have a boarding pass.

Alas in Oct we would be in YYZ again but this time flying AA for the direct MIA-YYZ-MIA. AA is at T3, there is no lounge to use!
We have another set of the UA club pass expiring in Oct so it will go to waste as well!

Just came back from my 1 month LAX-ICN-SIN-BOM return and used these lounges without issues. In SIN, I used 2 lounges on same day within a few minutes.
LAX - KAL lounge - decent food, big enough for a lot of folks, has shower. Wifi is weak and many power outlets don't work.
SIN - DNATA and SAT3 Premium - Food choices in SAT3 is horrible so after showering there we went to DNATA which has great food selection and excellent wifi.
BOM - Loyalty lounge - Great food selection and clean toilets / showers. Good wifi.

Data point
Used the lounge at PUJ (Punta Cana) Terminal A using PP from CSR. They had absolutely no problem with me bringing in 5 (yes, five) guests and warmly welcomed us in before our flight home. All adults.

If you have a couple of hours to kill at IAH I would instead recommend the Papadeaux restaurant near E4. ^
