Step inside Zero Bond at Wynn Las Vegas.
In the storied history of private members clubs, few venues rival Zero Bond in cultural currency. Since it opened in 2020 in New York’s NoHo neighborhood, the club has drawn fans from Taylor Swift to Tom Brady, who has praised Zero Bond’s founder Scott Sartiano for his “unique ability to make everyone feel comfortable.” Now, Zero Bond has arrived in Las Vegas with the debut of its first location outside the Big Apple at Wynn Las Vegas.
A Private Members’ Club Arrives at Wynn Las Vegas
Todd-Avery Lenahan, president and chief creative officer of Wynn Design & Development, infused the new iteration with the spirit of an early 20th-century Milanese palazzo.
“I love that aesthetic because it really is timeless,” Lenahan says. “When you walk around cities like Milan, you see these amazing gates in front of these palazzos, and you get a glimpse into a garden, but you can’t get into it. Maybe one palazzo is Armani’s, another is Brunello Cucinelli’s, and you wonder what’s in there.”
Just ahead of its opening, Lenahan provided a tour of Zero Bond at Wynn Las Vegas to reveal what lies inside, starting with the soulful glow of burnished-vintage wood furniture and the shimmer of a centrally placed Murano glass chandelier. The vibe is not “nightclub,” it is “private home.” At every turn, intimate seating areas have been designed for connection and conviviality, while the curated furnishings feel like they have been collected over decades.
“With Zero Bond being a private members’ club, we knew that the space needed to feel incredibly residential because most of the great clubs in the world, especially going way back in time historically, were often in grand homes,” Lenahan says.
A Museum-Caliber Art Collection on the Strip
The defining feature is an art collection of extraordinary pedigree, immediately evident upon arrival. A luminous painting, Femme au corsage rouge, by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, greets guests entering the space. Painted around 1907, it portrays Gabrielle Renard, a cousin of the wife of the esteemed Impressionist painter, who appeared in nearly 200 of Renoir’s works. “It’s over the fireplace—as an important painting should be. It sets the tone for the whole club,” says Chip Tom, senior curator of Heather James Fine Art, who worked with Lenahan on creating an opening exhibition of artworks for Zero Bond at Wynn Las Vegas.
The collection, hung throughout the two-level club, spans centuries and artistic movements. Among the oldest pieces are a Khmer sandstone sculpture of a male torso that dates to the 11th century and a pair of striking glazed Chinese ceramics from the Tang dynasty (618–907 A.D.) depicting earth spirits.
The overall effect creates a sense of visual discovery around every corner. Near the humidor rests “The Wave,” a bronze sculpture that depicts three bathers, an exemplary work by Camille Claudel. She was often overshadowed by her mentor, Rodin. Adding a play of geometric exploration in the Salon Privé are two vibrant gouaches by Alexander Calder. And in In the Wheatfield, which hangs in the club’s Boardroom, the American realist tradition is honored through a meticulous study of light, capturing a girl standing in an agrarian landscape.
“It’s this really rich, diverse collection that goes from antiquity all the way up to impressionism, romanticism, symbolism, cubism, modernism, abstract expressionism, and contemporary,” Lenahan explains. “I wanted every piece to truly be unique and rare.”
Design Inspired by a Milanese Palazzo
The variety of the works is a direct reflection of Zero Bond’s ethos. “The collection fits well with what they do at Zero Bond and at Wynn: the idea of different, interesting people coming together at this club. I wanted to reflect that in the art,” Tom says.
Just as the private club’s design is conceived to spark engagement, the artwork is arranged in deliberate pairings that foster their own visual conversations. One such dialogue features a dynamic 1947 oil painting by Hans Hofmann, which hangs across from a commanding geometric work by Valerie Jaudon, painted in 1982. The pairing highlights a sophisticated tension between Hofmann’s gestural energy and Jaudon’s intricate, rhythmic precision.
Another pairing brings together two titans of American art: Andrew Wyeth and Thomas Hart Benton. “Wyeth is famous for these kinds of dreamy landscapes like ‘Christina’s World.’ And then across from the Andrew Wyeth is a piece by Thomas Hart Benton, who was famous for doing these stylized rural scenes in Middle America,” Tom explains.
Where Art and Social Culture Intersect
All told, the pieces on display—which also include works by Amedeo Modigliani, Robert Henri, Richard Diebenkorn, John Baldessari, Lynne Mapp Drexler, Jorge Pardo, and Ansel Adams—are estimated to be worth more than $40 million. That includes what Lenahan views as the pièce de résistance of the exhibition: a sculpture garden overlooking the verdant Wynn Golf Club.
Members of Zero Bond will be able to look out at iconic creations, such as a Robert Indiana “LOVE” sculpture, as well as bronze pieces by Joan Miró, Jim Dine, and Herb Alpert, whether they are dining in the private Fairway Grill restaurant or enjoying cigars in the humidor lounge or a drink in the main Salon rooms. Tom is particularly pleased with the placement of “Geometric Mirrors VII,” a work by Jeppe Hein. “The piece is the intersection of a circle and a square, and from the lounge area, it lines up perfectly with the Sphere,” he adds.
For Lenahan, the project presented a rare opportunity to bridge the club’s interior with nature. “When I was designing the plan, I knew that we had an incredible opportunity to do something outside that linked the golf course to the club interior,” Lenahan says, noting that Wynn Las Vegas is unique among the city’s resorts in having a view of vast amounts of grass and trees and clear sky. “So you have these amazing constructs of bronze and glass and steel, and they’re juxtaposed against an entire horizontal ribbon of green fairways and then blue sky. There’s no place else in Vegas that you can compose something like this.”
“We will actually change out this collection a couple of times a year,” says Lenahan. “There might be more focused exhibitions in the future, such as an entire focus on cubism or one on old masters.”
Seeing art inside a private club can also provide a more meaningful engagement with the works than one might find in a museum or gallery. “It’s a more organic experience when you’re enjoying a space. You see a piece and it kind of imprints on you emotionally,” says Lenahan. “You can visualize it as something that you’d like to live with.”
That will likely be even more true because of the way Lenahan has succeeded in creating a homelike environment inside Zero Bond at Wynn Las Vegas—a rare find on the Strip.
“Las Vegas is such an outward-facing public space, and every space seems to be just bigger and more grand with each new development,” muses Lenahan. “But it’s been our focus at Wynn Las Vegas and within our larger Wynn Resorts portfolio to increasingly create and define moments of intimacy within grandeur.”
