Situated off the casino floor of the newly built $1.8-billion Palazzo Resort-Hotel-Casino, Zine Dim Sum Restaurant is the perfect authentic Asian addition to the Strip's collection of culinary treasures. The 105,000-square-foot casino offers more than 120 table games and about 1,400 slot machines. Additionally, the 50-story-tall Palazzo is the second tallest building in Nevada. It's also one of the most start-studded, as it's home to a series of luminary chefs, including Mario Batali, Emeril Lagasse, Wolfgang Puck and Charlie Trotter, in addition to highly acclaimed Chef Simon To, who presides over the daily creations at Zine. So when you need a break from the action, or from the more than 50 international boutiques at the Shoppes at the Palazzo -- including Barneys New York, Michael Kors and Van Cleef & Arpels, among others -- Zine is the place to take it, as it's the perfect respite where one can drop in for either a quick bite or a multiregional Asian feast. Afterwards, if you want to relax, the Canyon Ranch Spa Club and fitness center is available for your pleasure; there, you can work off the minimal calories from Chef To's sumptuous Asian creations or simply relax after your leisurely feast.

You'll immediately notice Zine from on the casino floor, where you can clearly see its vertical, floor-to-ceiling red banderole, which has "Zine" emblazoned on it in black backlit letters. Textured glass covers a portion of the open doorway, from which you can see several oblong sunset hued Japanese lanterns. Once you walk through the doors, you'll immediately notice to your left the black, highly polished hostess station, behind which lies a wall of flowing water, spot lit from the bottom. A textured glass screen separates a portion of the hostess station from the casino while another one separates it from the main dining room; a third screen separates the hostess station from the portion of the dining room to the right. Exotic flowers and curly branches sit atop the hostess station, which houses a computer and phone so that the host or hostess can easily take and keep track of reservations.
