What is a ZLAS file?
ZLAS is a file extension commonly associated with ESRI Optimized LiDAR Data Format files. ZLAS file format is compatible with software that can be installed on Windows system platform. The GIS Files subset comprises 251 various file formats. ArcGIS is by far the most used program for working with ZLAS files.
How do I open a Laz file in ArcGIS?

What files make up a shapefile?
A Shapefile consists minimally of a main file, an index file, and a dBASE table. In the main file, the geometry for a feature is stored as a shape comprising a set of vector coordinates.
