Zero Bond, the exclusive New York City club frequented by celebrities like Jay-Z, Gigi Hadid, and former Mayor Eric Adams, is expanding to Las Vegas this week.
This new outpost at the Wynn Las Vegas marks the first members-only club of its kind from the Big Apple to hit Sin City. Despite the city's reputation for extravagance, Zero Bond aims to maintain an air of exclusivity, with relatively modest fees and a limited membership count.
To join the Wynn Las Vegas club, individuals must pay a $1,000 initiation fee and an annual fee of $2,750. Those looking to become "founders" will need to shell out a hefty $50,000 initiation fee along with higher yearly dues, granting them access to the original Manhattan location.
Founder Scott Sartiano emphasized the focus on quality and community over opulence in a city where wealth often reigns supreme. While he did not disclose the targeted membership size, he highlighted the curated experience the club aims to offer.
The new 15,000-square-foot, two-story venue boasts scenic views of a golf course and showcases a $40 million art collection, drawing attention from notable figures like Gwyneth Paltrow, Michael Rubin, LeBron James, Tom Brady, and Alix Earle, among others. The opening event featured a performance by Doja Cat.
Sartiano expressed his belief that Zero Bond fills a unique niche in Las Vegas, contrasting with traditional country clubs and exclusive communities like the Summit Club. The club features artworks for sale, including pieces by Renoir, Jorge Pardo, and outdoor sculptures by renowned artists.
The club offers various amenities, such as four bars, a central salon, a cigar room, a poker room, and a disco, all designed by Wynn Design & Development. Notably, the club maintains its no-photo policy, akin to its New York counterpart.
Sartiano envisions Zero Bond evolving into a premium luxury brand, emphasizing the partnership with Wynn for its top-tier design, ambiance, and culinary offerings. He highlighted the untapped market for private clubs in travel destinations like Las Vegas and the contrast with the city's focus on accessibility and space optimization.
Mariena Mercer Boarini oversees the club's beverage program, complemented by gourmet bar bites like caviar-topped chicken nuggets. Additionally, food can be ordered from Sartiano's neighboring steakhouse, open to the public, helmed by acclaimed chefs Alfred Portale and Michael Rubinstein.
The steakhouse recently opened following the closure of Sartiano's Hamptons restaurant due to noise complaints, a decision he lamented.
