Members-Only NYC Social Club Zero Bond Expanding to Las Vegas: Photos

Say goodbye to Times Square and hello to the Las Vegas Strip: Zero Bond, one of NYC's most exclusive social clubs, has announced it will open a second outpost in Las Vegas.

In late 2020, Zero Bond became one of the trendiest membership-based social clubs to beckon Manhattan's social elites.

Three years after its successful launch, Bond Hospitality Group says it has partnered with Wynn Resorts to open Wynn Las Vegas' "exclusive private members' club" in 2025.

The two hospitality partners have yet to reveal any additional details. But for those of us who can't afford to run in these social circles, let's take a closer look at what Zero Bond's first and only New York City outpost has to offer.

The club is hush-hush about the identity of its over one thousand members …

… but since its opening, Zero Bond has been visited by the likes of Elon Musk, Kim Kardashian, NYC Mayor Eric Adams, and Eric Schmidt, Google's former CEO.

Lounging and dining around celebrities in an exclusive space isn't a new concept: There's a long list of private, members-only social clubs speckled throughout Manhattan with fees that could beckon only the city's elite.

But unlike Soho House — which targets members in "creative" industries — Zero Bond doesn't cater its space to people working in specific trades.

Instead, it wants its members to be a "mix of everyone, people all over the spectrum of business," Will Makris, Zero Bond's managing partner, told Insider in 2021. "It's a real variety of people from all different backgrounds and nationalities."

"The people that meet each other at Zero Bond [are pretty amazing]," Makris said. "It's incredible to see … [members that] would have never met each other anywhere else."

There is, however, one aspect that all Zero Bond-goers have in common: the financial means to pay for a glitzy social club membership.

The general membership fee is $3,000 per year on top of a $1,000 initiation fee.

If you're younger, you're in luck. Members who are under 28 years old have reduced payment requirements: a $2,200 annual fee and a $500 initiation fee.

But if you're over 45, get ready to cough up more cash. Annual membership fees for this age demographic sit at $4,000 on top of a $5,000 initiation fee.

If you think this fee is too high to be worth it, "come give it a try and see for yourself," Makris said.

"It's a bit of a family situation where everybody gets to know each other," he said. "It's not going to be for everybody, but I do think the sense of community and feeling like you're a part of something is important, and people really seem to enjoy that."

Phone calls aren't allowed in the main part of the lounge, so implementing a phone booth allows its members who didn't book a conference room to still take calls, he said.
