Zero Bond, a members-only social club coming to Wynn Las Vegas, has begun accepting applications. Zero Bond will open in late 2025.

If Zero Bond sounds snooty and exclusive, you’re damned right.

If you think we’re only reporting on this news to remind everyone we broke the story of Zero Bond coming to Wynn Las Vegas, you’re damned even righter.

Exclusivity is the new “Come as you are.”

Why a members-only social club? To keep out the undesirables. You know, like magicians, timeshare salespersons and Zowie Bowie.

Why “Zero Bond”? The original Zero Bond is located at 0 Bond Street in Manhattan’s NoHo neighborhood. Having a zero as one’s address is pretty badass.

Here’s an overview for Zero Bond from the official news release: “Founded by Scott Sartiano and Will Makris, Zero Bond redefines the private membership club experience by fostering a community across culture, arts, politics, business, technology, fashion, and gastronomy. Members of Zero Bond Las Vegas will enjoy access to cultural events, unique culinary events, fireside chats, musical performances and VIP gatherings.”

To put it simply, you can’t afford it.

Zero Bond will have two membership tiers, Founding and General.

General members will pay a $1,000 initiation fee and a $2,750 per year membership fee.

Founding members pay a $50,000 initiation fee and $7,500 per year. On the bright side, that $7,500 membership fee includes access for a spouse, so there’s that.

New York’s Zero Bond membership fees vary by age, but we haven’t seen that mentioned in connection to the Wynn location.

The initiation and yearly membership fees do not include food or drink.

Founding membership does include one complimentary round of golf at Wynn Golf Club per year.

This is the Zero Bond in New York. The Vegas version is described as “a richly-appointed enclave inspired by the early 20th century residences of Milan’s most esteemed barons of fashion, banking, art and trade.”

If you thought we were going to let you breeze by that photo caption without making a reference to our high school band, you do not know this blog at all.

We could never get Kevin to smile for band photos.

The thing is, just being up for those prices doesn’t guarantee your application will be accepted. That’s what makes it exclusive on top of members-only.

You sort of have to know a guy. Recommendations from existing members are gold.

Zero Bond is looking for “accomplished and refined individuals who can contribute to the community.” They review applications and are particular about character, which pretty much leaves out any editor at the Las Vegas Review-Journal, elected officials, the owner of the Sacramento A’s and, well, Zowie Bowie.

Full disclosure: Criss Angel took us to dinner, otherwise he’d be included in this running gag. And perhaps just was, just in a more passive-aggressive way.

Zero Bond will have a cigar humidor, so it’s clearly not keeping all the asshats out.

It’s possible you’ve already glazed over after reading those membership costs, but here’s more about Zero Bond just to help fluff up our word count: “Zero Bond at Wynn Las Vegas will offer unique spaces such as a private Members Grill featuring fine-dining menus curated by three-time James Beard Award-winner Alfred Portale. The Salon—the heart and soul of Zero Bond—will provide a versatile space for spirited conversation, cocktails and connection. The kitchen will be helmed by Executive Chef Michael Rubinstein, a Las Vegas native whose impressive culinary pedigree includes time with David Chang at Momofuku and Majordomo Meat & Fish and at Marc Vetri’s acclaimed Vetri Cucina.”

How spending time with noted jerk David Chang is a good thing, we will never know.

Anyway, private clubs are all the rage in New York City. These clubs aren’t about appealing to the masses, they’re successful because they keep the masses where they belong. At Circus Circus.

You can submit your application for Zero Bond at the official Web site.

Fair warning: “A clear and recent headshot must be included.”

While Zero Bond makes it clear they do not discriminate based upon race, profession or socioeconomic status, you had better not be fugly or your application goes directly into the exclusive, members-only shredder.
