Wingman Metrics
You're 67 floors up, the Strip is glittering below you, and the wine list lands on the table like it means business β 300 to 500 bottles deep, California and Bordeaux front and center. It's exactly what you'd expect from a Best of Award of Excellence holder that's been on Wine Spectator's radar since 2012. This is a place that takes its wine seriously, even if the prices remind you you're in a resort.
The list is a love letter to California Cabernet and classic Bordeaux, and it pulls it off with genuine depth. You've got the greatest hits β Caymus, Silver Oak Alexander Valley, Jordan, Stag's Leap, Chateau Montelena β alongside serious trophy bottles like Opus One, Dominus, Chateau Margaux, and a PΓ©trus 2018 if you're feeling reckless. Far Niente and Peter Michael round out a Chardonnay section that's better than most steakhouses bother with. The gaps are real β don't come here hunting Burgundy, RhΓ΄ne, or anything remotely adventurous β but within its lane, this list is genuinely well-curated.
With 20 to 35 options by the glass, you're not stuck choosing between two generic Cabs and a house white. The program covers enough ground to let you mix and match across courses without committing to a full bottle. Rotation data is limited, but the depth of the overall list suggests the pours are drawn from something more interesting than the usual resort fallbacks.
Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 β $135
Silver Oak Alexander Valley retails around $65-75, so yes, the markup stings β but in the context of a 67th-floor resort steakhouse, $135 is relatively restrained. It's approachable, crowd-pleasing, and holds its own next to a filet without requiring a trust fund.
Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon
Everyone on this list is chasing Caymus or going straight for Opus One β Chateau Montelena keeps getting overlooked. It's got the pedigree (the 1973 put Napa on the map at the Paris tasting), the structure, and the restraint that makes it drink better with food than the bigger, flashier names on this list.
PΓ©trus 2018
At $4,500 a bottle, PΓ©trus is here for the flex, not the value. Retail on the 2018 hovers around $3,000-3,500, so you're paying a meaningful premium for the privilege of ordering it in Henderson, Nevada. If you must, you must β but this one's a status order, not a wine order.
Far Niente Chardonnay + Lobster Tail
Far Niente Chardonnay is rich and precise without going full butter-bomb, which makes it exactly right for a cold-water lobster tail. The wine's restrained oak and clean acidity cut through the richness without fighting the sweetness of the lobster. It's the most obvious call on this list, which is why it's also the correct one.
Wednesday β Half-price wine night every Wednesday β the best reason to plan a midweek dinner at a resort steakhouse.
π₯ The Bottom Line
Anthony's Prime is a legitimate wine destination for California Cab and Bordeaux lovers β the list has real depth, the setting earns its prices more than most, and Wednesday half-price wine night is one of the better deals in the Henderson/Vegas corridor. Just don't show up expecting natural wine or anything off the beaten path, and try not to do the markup math on anything above $200.
Galleria Β· Henderson Β· American Sports Bar & Grill
Twin Peaks Henderson is a sports bar β a good one, by all accounts β and you should treat it like one. Drink the beer, it's served ice cold and that's the whole idea. The wine list is an afterthought, and ordering from it feels like asking a bounce house rental company for fine dining recommendations.

Borracha is a tequila bar that also sells wine, and the list reflects that priority clearly. If your crew is on margaritas and you want a glass of something approachable, you'll find it β just don't show up expecting a wine destination.

King's Fish House Henderson isn't a wine destination and doesn't pretend to be β but the list is fairly priced, the glass pour options are plentiful, and there are smart choices in there if you know where to look. Send a friend here for the oysters and tell them to skip the Santa Margherita.

Bonefish Grill Henderson isn't a wine destination β it's a reliable neighborhood option that does just enough right to avoid embarrassing itself. Send a friend here if they want a decent glass with good seafood and zero drama; just don't expect the list to excite anyone who actually cares about wine.
