The elevator is ancient and takes forever.... LAX is in the process of replacing all elevators and escalators, but they won't complete this project until 2013 [LAX is on a lax schedule], so it might take awhile before they replace that elevator. In the meantime, I always take the stairs instead, it is fun seeing the person in the elevator the minute the door closes then seeing the person again at the SC counter waiting behind me 
I'd hoped the renovation would have included an escalator to the club.

I ride that elevator all the time as LAX is where most of my travels begin, I've never received anything but pleasantries from pilots and crew. Maybe you conduct yourself differently.

I recall it did have the shower icon last week, although i might have been on medication at the time.

they've apparently decided it's in good shape now... there's a DL suit and a camera crew in here filming some sort of interview on the space and amenities in businesselite.....
never been in the LAX skyclub before, but it's fresh and airy, and i do like it.
earlier, there were construction workers in here leveling the artwork.

So any word on whether the shower rooms have been reopened? Transiting through LAX in a few weeks.

Here is your answer:

Thanks, but that really doesn't answer my question on whether the showers have already been reopened.

Gave them a call and they said construction is completed, so the showers might be ready...

Sitting here now, and looks VERY nice. Not quite MIA, but nice nonetheless. Far better than it was less than 2 weeks ago, when the aforementioned shower was the only men's room.
And my favorite part? Red Hook's "Slim Chance" on tap! Trying very hard not to tie one on before the 11:55 back to ATL.

Did they downgrade the liquor selections now that the customer is pouring?
I always like the NW self-serve mode, but they typically did not stock the better brands that legacy Sky Clubs did.
