Las Vegas Pop-Up: Inside the Chase Sapphire Reserve Lounge at ARIA Resort & Casino
Chase Travel
Planning a trip to Las Vegas this winter? Bring your Chase Sapphire Reserve or J.P. Morgan Reserve card along and swing by the new Chase Sapphire Reserve Lounge, now open for a limited time at ARIA Resort & Casino.
This pop-up experience gives cardmembers a preview of the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club airport experience ahead of a permanent lounge, slated to open in Concourse C at Las Vegas’s Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in 2025. Located near the main lobby at ARIA, the lounge is the perfect place to stop before or after dinner, or when you’re ready to take a break from the casino floor.
Inside the Lounge
Chase Sapphire Reserve and J.P. Morgan Reserve cardmembers have exclusive access to the lounge, located near the main lobby at ARIA next to the Din Tai Fung restaurant. The lounge is open daily from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., and features a variety of small plates by restaurant group Momofuku; custom cocktails and mocktails by the mixologists at Apotheke; plus beer, wine and liquor.
The lounge is spread across two rooms, including a bar and dining area, and a sleek speakeasy-style hangout in the back, with private booths and a live DJ.
Food and Drinks
Vegas is known for its elevated, over-the-top cuisine, and the lounge is no exception. You’re in for a treat—the team at Momofuku is responsible for the food here, giving you a taste of their restaurants in Los Angeles, New York City and at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas resort, a short walk from the lounge.
Save your appetite for a mix of plated dishes during your visit, like tuna kimbap (a Korean-style tuna roll), a cucumber salad with a scallion vinaigrette, and a hearty chicken katsu served on milk bread with tonkatsu sauce, all available for you to grab yourself from the servery.
You can also try some of Momofuku’s heartier dishes, including a double fried chicken with ranch and chili sauce, and pork belly buns with hoisin, scallion and cucumber, which attendants will offer throughout the lounge between 6-8pm each day.
If what you’re really craving is a creative cocktail (with or without alcohol), the menu here is designed by the talented mixologists at Apotheke, which has permanent locations in Los Angeles and New York City.
You’ll find a handful of Vegas-exclusives here, such as the Roll the Dice, which is actually more of a sure thing, with a mix of ingredients like mezcal, beet juice, Thai basil, lime and cubed dragonfruit cut to resemble a pair of dice. The Easy Way is the ideal pick for whiskey lovers, with bourbon, grapefruit, lime, macadamia syrup and bitters, while the Wild Card has rum, carrot, orange, oolong tea, turmeric and black pepper.
If you’re looking for something without booze, try the Down to the Felt, a mocktail made with apple, aloe vera and cucumber, or the Big Red, made with strawberry, pineapple, lime, cilantro, rose water and a nonalcoholic agave spirit. Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club regulars will also recognize the Sapphire Signature, a fan-favorite made with blueberry, goldenberry, lime, ginger and bee pollen (which is also available with vodka or gin).
