This is a steakhouse wine list built for Vegas whales and expense accounts. The selection skews heavily toward trophy bottles and Champagne magnums, with pricing that makes you wonder if they're renting the bottles instead of selling them. When a $45 retail Champagne hits your table at $240, you're not drinking wine — you're paying the casino tax.
The list reads like a steakhouse greatest hits compilation: blue-chip Napa Cabs, First Growth Bordeaux, Vega Sicilia, and enough Dom Pérignon to stock a rap video. There's geographic range — Champagne, Bordeaux, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Napa, Rhône — but depth is shallow. This is name-brand hunting territory, not wine nerd exploration. The Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades at the top tells you everything: this list exists to impress clients and Instagram followers, not to pair thoughtfully with a ribeye.
No glass pour data surfaced in the research, which at a Wine Spectator-recognized downtown steakhouse is a red flag. If they're pouring by the glass, it's likely the same crowd-pleaser lineup you'd find at any casino resort property. Don't expect rotation or experimentation — just safe bets that won't scare the tourists.
Via Castello Brunello di Montalcino 2017 — $145
At 107% markup it's the least offensive number on the list, and Brunello actually belongs next to a dry-aged steak
Château Haut-Brion 2011
If you're already spending stupid money, at least spend it on First Growth Pessac-Léognan that can handle the char on your porterhouse
Beau Joie Special Cuvée Vegas Golden Knights NV
433% markup on a $45 retail novelty bottle is beyond parody — this is a hockey puck with bubbles
Vega Sicilia Unico 2011 + Bone-in ribeye
If you're going to overpay for Tempranillo, at least pair Spain's crown jewel with the biggest cut on the menu and lean into the absurdity
❌ The Bottom Line
Barry's has the pedigree and the sommelier, but the pricing strategy treats wine like slot machine odds. If someone else is paying, fine. If it's your money, drink cocktails.
Las Vegas Strip · Las Vegas · American, Italian
Alexxa's is a Strip restaurant doing Strip things — great location, recognizable bottles, pricing that reflects the real estate. If you're here for fountain views and a glass of Cakebread, you'll be genuinely happy; if you're hunting for value or adventure, look elsewhere.

Las Vegas Strip · Las Vegas · French, Mediterranean
LPM is a legitimate wine destination by Las Vegas Strip standards — the Burgundy-forward list has real bones, sommelier Karla Poeschel keeps it credible, and a newly minted Wine Spectator Award of Excellence confirms this isn't just hotel filler. Markups are what they are in this zip code, but the quality is there if you spend wisely.

Las Vegas · Las Vegas · Italian
La Strega is doing something genuinely unusual for a Las Vegas neighborhood Italian: serving serious wine at prices that don't require an expense account, backed by a sommelier who knows what she's doing. Tuesday half-price wine night is not a gimmick — it's a reason to rearrange your week.

Caramella is a better wine stop than its lounge-y Strip pedigree would suggest — the Italian selections alone make it worth a serious look. The Thursday half-price night is the real unlock; that's when this list goes from steep to genuinely exciting.

The Strip · Las Vegas · Spanish
é is a Wild Card in the most literal sense — a nine-seat secret room inside a casino that takes Spanish wine more seriously than most dedicated wine bars. If you're eating here, you're already spending money; lean into the list and let Chris So point you somewhere unexpected.

The Strip · Las Vegas · Japanese
Wakuda isn't a wine destination in the way a dedicated wine bar is, but it's doing something genuinely interesting — pairing a focused, high-quality California-and-Burgundy list with Japanese cuisine that actually rewards that combination. If you're eating here, drink the wine; Luis Guillen knows what he's doing.

I-35 / North Creek · Laredo · Steakhouse
Outback Laredo's wine program is a national chain doing national chain things — predictable, overpriced relative to quality, and staffed by people who aren't expected to know anything about what they're pouring. Come for the Bloomin' Onion, stick to a cocktail, and save the wine order for somewhere that cares.

North Creek / I-35 · Laredo · Steakhouse
Logan's Roadhouse is not a wine destination — it's a steakhouse chain where wine clearly wasn't part of the concept. Order a beer, order a cocktail, and save the bottle for a restaurant that's actually trying.

Mall del Norte Area · Laredo · Steakhouse
Texas Roadhouse Laredo is a great spot for a $17 steak and a bucket of rolls — the wine list is an afterthought and everyone involved knows it. Order a margarita, or grab the Ste. Michelle Riesling and call it a night.
