Wingman Metrics
You're in a sleek Cantonese dining room inside the Aria, and then you open a wine list that could hold its own at any Michelin-starred French restaurant. It's a genuine surprise — this is not the kind of list you expect to find sitting next to a Peking duck menu. The Best of Award of Excellence, held since 2011, is not honorary here; it's earned.
The list runs 300-500 bottles deep with France and California as its twin pillars, and neither feels like an afterthought. You've got Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Château Pétrus for the high rollers, but also Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet and Ridge Monte Bello for drinkers who know their stuff without needing to flash a black card. Kistler Vineyards Chardonnay and Caymus Special Selection round out a California section that hits the crowd-pleasing marks while still offering something worth talking about. The gap is anywhere outside France and California — don't come here hunting Barolo or Grüner Veltliner.
Twenty to thirty-five by-the-glass options is a serious commitment for a restaurant that could easily coast on a trophy bottle list. We don't have a full rotation in hand, but a program this size with a dedicated sommelier on staff suggests the pours are being managed thoughtfully, not just defaulted to house wine. That said, no evidence of active rotation or a half-price program means what you see is what you get.
Ridge Monte Bello — $60+
One of California's most serious Cabernet-dominant blends, and in a Las Vegas fine-dining context, finding it on a list where Screaming Eagle and Opus One are also present means it's likely the most intellectually honest buy on the page — history and terroir over hype.
Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet
Most tables at a Cantonese restaurant reach for red or skip wine altogether. That's a mistake when Domaine Leflaive is on the list — one of Burgundy's greatest white producers, and a stunning match for the seafood-forward cooking here.
Caymus Vineyards Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Perfectly fine wine, but it's the most overexposed label on any Vegas wine list and the markup will reflect its brand recognition more than its value. With Ridge Monte Bello sitting nearby, there's no reason to default to Caymus.
Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet + Hong Kong Typhoon Shelter Lobster
The buttery richness and mineral precision of Leflaive's Puligny cuts right through the wok-fried intensity of the typhoon shelter preparation — it's acid and fat doing exactly what they're supposed to do, and it's a genuinely great combination.
The Bottom Line
Blossom is a legitimate wine destination hiding inside a Cantonese concept on the Strip — the kind of list that rewards curiosity and punishes laziness. If you're eating here, commit to the wine; anything less is leaving money on the table in the best possible way.
· Las Vegas · Steakhouse
Strip House's all-by-the-glass format is smart for a Vegas crowd that wants to explore without committing, and the list has more personality than most hotel steakhouses — the Testamatta and the Lingua Franca Chardonnay prove someone made actual choices here. Prices skew high at the top end, but the $15–$25 tier offers genuine quality. Come for the steak, stay for the glass pours, and skip the Kosta Browne unless the night calls for it.

· Las Vegas · Restaurant
Summer House is doing more with its wine program than it has to, and in Las Vegas that deserves genuine credit. Fair prices, a thoughtful by-the-glass roster, and a few genuinely interesting picks — the Grüner and the Selbach Riesling especially — make this worth exploring. It's not a destination wine list, but it's a reliable one, and that's rarer on the Strip than it should be.

Hughes Center · Las Vegas · Brazilian Churrascaria
The real story at Fogo de Chão Hughes Center is the Monday-through-Thursday deal: South American bottles under $150 go at half price, all day, in both the dining room and bar. That's a meaningful discount at a format where a table can easily work through a full bottle alongside the picanha parade. If you're going to drink wine here — and you should — plan your visit around that window.

South Point Casino · Las Vegas · Steakhouse
Silverado Steak House isn't trying to win any wine awards, and it doesn't need to — the list is fair, functional, and occasionally punches above its casino-floor weight class. If you're eating steak at South Point and want a solid glass without getting robbed, this list has your back; just stay away from the bottom shelf and head straight for the Davis Bynum or the Symmetry Meritage.

The Strip · Las Vegas · Japanese
Order the $21 glass of Kirinzan Junmai Ginjo, or the $50 Signature Flight if you want three saké side by side. If you prefer wine, the Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin at $62 by the Coravin glass is the pour to look for. Confirm availability and prices, since the list is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.
The Strip · Las Vegas · Steakhouse
Try the $60 half bottle of Cristom Pinot Noir or ask about the $60 Kerner, the lowest full-bottle price, or order the Azelia Barolo at $270 with the Dry Aged New York. Confirm vintages and prices, since the list is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or retail markups.
