Zebra Lounge

Full bar, live band, and a dance floor.
Right off the casino floor at the Palazzo. A great place to unwind. Not quiet at all, but a fun spot.
Closed during the day but comes alive iat night.
Usually plays 80s music.
Overall 4 out of 5 stars..

Stopped in for a drink after a long drive, and found Zebra Lounge to be just what the doctor ordered. We got there right when they opened, so seating was immediate. We had a very nice server who brought us a menu right away. I decided to get a Relaxberry, which was a sweet martini type drink. It was very good, very refreshing. My husband ordered a Caipirinha, which he enjoyed as well.
We were also given a couple of dishes of snack mix and popcorn, which we devoured. It was a great little afternoon pick me up.
Décor was very nice, pretty light fixtures. I imagine this place gets really hopping later on in the evening. Unfortunately we’ll never know as we were on vacation and most likely will never go back to this bar. But if you find yourself in the Palazzo with some time to kill, I recommend this to you wholeheartedly.

Horrible drink prices. $ 18 mojito (weak) and $ 4 soda. Watch out for the «entertainment tax”($ 4.44) This a glorified casino bar charging nightclub prices.

This place had a lot of potential: the décor is fun and the singer/​guitar player was incredible! He saved this venue from a 1-​star ranking and is the only reason we didn’t simply walk out.
My sister is a fan of all things zebra, so when I found there was a Zebra Lounge in town, I knew we had to go. The visit started off well with the helpful Palazzo staff escorting us straight to the venue which was nearly empty and we got seated right away. The aforementioned incredible musician was up on stage and because there were so few people, he was able to chat with each group and played some great tunes.
Our waitress (who I must admit struck me as a little ‘off’) came by with menus and let us know that it was happy hour and drinks ‘under $ 14 were about half off’. Well, just about every cocktail on the menu is $ 16 so this seems a bit disingenuous but OK, whatever. All of us ordered the $ 12 «American Mule» the lounge’s twist on a Moscow Mule. The younger members of our party were carded — no problem.
And then we waited. And waited. And waited some more. Finally, a different waitress brought out a tray of drinks. Pink drinks. Not our drinks. I never did figure out what they actually were, but they weren’t American Mules — which we pointed out to Waitress #2 given that the menu had a picture of the Mules on it which the drinks before us clearly did not resemble. So she took them away and then we waited. And waited. And waited some more.
Finally she came back with the right set of drinks and carded us AGAIN. While I don’t really have an issue with this and I’m glad they’re following the laws, the entire experience was starting to feel like amateur hour on steroids. We downed the drinks, which were OK but nothing special, and asked for the bill. And then we waited. And waited. And … you know how the rest of this goes. Bill comes back with each drink priced at $ 8…yeah, that’s «about half» of $ 12. I paid by credit card, which was a mistake as we were now running late and I should’ve known better than to expect anything to take a reasonable amount of time. Sure enough, we ended up waiting some more. Granted, a few more tables had come in but the place was by no means that busy and the slowness was both inexcusable and ridiculous.
In short, the terrible service soured the entire experience. Don’t come here unless you have an entire evening to burn and the patience of a saint. Or, just come in and listen to the music for awhile while you pretend to look at the menu. You’ll have plenty of time to make your escape without ordering before the server comes around again…

We were happy to relax after winning nearly $ 2500 at craps and called it quits to drink and party! Great band we heard at Zebra Lounge for the 2^nd time in the last year! They were extremely talented, good looking and what you would expect from Las Vegas talent. SInger was funny, good jokes and interesting bantering… they are from Florida although guitarist is from another country I think. They were too good for a lounge act. Drinks were pricey, staff was friendly. We will be back this fall! Hope the band will be there! We’re going back to catch Panda next time! UPDATE: 01÷09÷16 — We went back here this past week, Unfortunately our favorite singer, Dana, is no longer there. Dont bother going. Drinks arent worth the price of such low end entertainment.

The awesome duo that was performing got our attention. We had an hour to burn before a show so alcohol + good live music made absolute sense. We had a round of free drinks because of our show tickets.
We claimed our drinks at the bar. Chilled there for a bit while I was watching the playoffs. After finishing our first round, we moved to a table right in front of the stage… just so I could fall asleep! I hope I wasn’t snoring. I couldn’t even remember the name of the performers and what they were playing but I’m pretty sure it happened. All that matters is that the people I was with who stayed awake enjoyed the music and had a good time.

On the positive side — the 2-​man cover band was really good, diverse and a lot of fun.
On the less-​than-​positive side — our waitress seemed to be slammed with too many tables (which really slowed down service/​drink speed).
The worst part was a very creepy older gentleman (who we were told is a regular) who would try to dance or kiss everyone near him. He drunkenly bought our table a round of drinks (very awkward). He then tried kissing our waitresses as he signed the tab. Beyond uncomfortable, our waitress told us that the only reason they don’t kick him out is because he’s nice to one of the other servers.
Creepy guy aside, it looked to have the potential of a fun place. Drink prices were on par for most bars in Vegas ($$$).
I’d go back to hear the band (from afar).

I’ve been here several times in last 2 years and especially last 10 months because I love, love LOVE the band! Dana is the singer at Zebra but not sure of band name because they never advertise. My husband and I stay at Palazzo and come down every night to hear him sing. Amazing talent… They should be a headline entertainment act! Drinks are high priced… Sometimes service a bit slow when I’ve girl is working. But we love it! Will keep coming back!

Picture Pilot.
It may not mean much to many — but, to me – it means a reason to come to Zerba Lounge. I frequent this ‘venue’ even though I have never ordered drinks (and never will) nor a bite to eat (do they even serve food here?).
I come here for Picture Pilot.
Or what was once Picture Pilot.
Picture Pilot!
A History
Back in 2009, there were three «bands» worth listening to in Las Vegas: A Crowd of Small Adventures, Imagine Dragons, and Picture Pilot. For the latter two, I would skip other bigger touring artists’ concerts to instead attend their local shows because I felt they would someday make it big.
Having been mentored, by other more experienced followers of tours (or tourers, like some are called), to pick some local artists that played a lot of cheap, local shows, and, go to a shitton of them, I did just that. I tried to go to all of them.
And that was supposed to be the way to reach the century mark for multiple major artists, cheap and easy. Century mark being a nerdtastic (and possibly unhealthy) one hundred live shows attended for a particular artist. (Why would anyone want to go to 100 concerts of one artist is beyond me?)
Imagine Dragons reconfigured their group and moved to fucking Los Angeles to work with producer Alex Da’ Kid. Worse: Picture Pilot broke up and stopped doing shows entirely. Worst: A Crowd of Small Adventures stuck around, but never played many shows, and did not really break out of the tiny venue, sparsely attended gigs. (They may have been booked for Life Is Beautiful; I am not sure.)
Zebra Lounge
In any case, that is one long ass prologue to state that Tony Venniro, former lead vocals and lead guitarist of Picture Pilot, is here at the motherfucking Zebra Lounge in The Palazzo®, playing to bourgeoisie tourists sipping dumb-​looking cocktails and conversing about stupid shit other than music. They do not notice the beauty of the art being performed live right in front of them. They cannot appreciate the venerable talent — birthed from ten thousand plus hours of purposeful practice — emanating from the fantastic fingers of Venniro.
Picture Pilot: How much I have looked and looked around town to hear you again live.
Picture Pilot: You may be out there, on the road, touring with a different front man and lead guitarist, but PP, to me, will always be Venniro, and, here he is playing at the motherfucking Zebra Lounge. Free-​of-​charge and non-​ticketed to anyone who gives enough of a damn to come by to listen.
Needless to say, I am a fan. — E

Awesome place!
I love the fact that they played the doors during the performance!
I would recommend getting here earlier than you would normally expect for a Vegas bar because the seats full up quick!
We had a friend get here at about 9 on a Wednesday during SEMA and he saved us some seats near the piano.
