Questions about LAS and Priority Pass

Hi everyone, I hope this correct forum to ask, but please forgive me if my question is misplaced.

My husband and I are traveling to Las Vegas to meet up with my sister, her husband and some friends. We are leaving from and returning to LAX on AA and they are traveling from and returning to YYZ on West Jet.

From what I understand, we will be using T1 and they will be using T3. We are departing the same day, although we have a later flight. My husband and I will have Priority Pass membership via a Citi Prestige card where I am the primary and he an authorized user.


Would we be allowed access to T3 if we wanted to use The Club in T3?
Would my husband and I each be able to guest two people? ( The way I understand it from reading BA, that we can but I haven't read anything from folks with actual experience)
If we gain access to T3, approximately how much time do you think we should allow to get to T1 and our gates (it's a Sat departure).

TYIA

Yes.

T1 and T3 are connected airside (after security) by an underground passageway. You will check in with AA at T1, clear TSA and then take the train to Terminal 1 D Gates. But instead of turning right, turn left - the connector to T3 is well marked.

Are both couples traveling to the airport together, or separately?

Thank You for your reply

My sister, her husband and their friends are both traveling to and from YYZ. I am not sure if they are booked on the same airline. I know they are staying at different hotels. We will probably try to arrange to go the the airport the day of departure together.

My husband and I are traveling to and from LAX.

If I am reading your explanation correctly, I won't have to clear security twice? ( we usually drive to Las Vegas, so I am completely unfamiliar with the airport)

Correct, only once through TSA security.

Here is a map of the terminal layouts:

Find out which hotels and which departing airlines for the Canadians to figure out if everyone should just meet in T3 airside.

I do not use Priority Pass so cannot help there.

It is a pleasure to help someone who is willing to do her "due dilligence" and to prepare before the actual event.

Especially if both of you have PP cards, you should be able to guest two more with no issue, although most PP memberships charge about $29 (later to your credit card) per guest. Check the terms of the PP plan you ahve.
