The ambiance, presentation, and service were fantastic! Our critique for improvement: Food was good but not amazing. Pasta and salmon were overcooked, and wait staff and somm were afraid to make wine pairing recommendations.

Bar ZAZU at Resorts World was a standout during our Vegas trip. The ambiance is sexy and artistic with bold lighting, eclectic artwork, and live music that sets the tone without being overwhelming. We ordered the Violet Horizon—a rich, creamy beauty that tasted even better than it looked, beautifully balanced with egg white foam and citrus on top. For food, we shared the chorizo deviled eggs, baby kale salad, and the Poquito cheese & salumi board. Everything was flavorful, beautifully plated, and perfect for sharing. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the overall vibe made the night feel like a full experience, not just a meal. Highly recommend for date night or a girls’ night out!
