Wingman Metrics
Opening this wine list feels like opening a phone book—if phone books were filled with cult Amarone and obscure Piedmontese unicorns. 760 selections means you could eat here weekly for years and never drink the same bottle twice. This is Major Food Group flexing their Italian wine obsession in the middle of the Vegas Strip.
The focus is laser-locked on Italy: deep cuts from Tuscany and Piedmont dominate, with serious allocations of Brunello, Super Tuscans, and producers most people have never heard of. They're hunting collector-grade bottles alongside approachable regional gems. California and France get supporting roles—mostly big Napa cabs and blue-chip Bordeaux for the high-roller crowd. There are gaps if you want natural wine or adventurous orange experiments, but that's not what Carbone does. This is old-world muscle with a Vegas bankroll.
The glass program sits around 15-20 options, which feels surprisingly modest given the list depth. Pricing runs theatrical: $14 Bisol Prosecco is actually reasonable, $18 Graci Etna Bianco is a steal at 60% markup, but then you hit $16 Pinot Grigio that retails for $12. The pours skew safe—Chianti Classico at $18, standard Italian whites—with just enough personality to keep it interesting.
Graci Etna Bianco — $18
Sicilian volcanic elegance at 60% markup is Vegas charity—this bottle retails for $30 and drinks way above its weight
2021 Valaya Chianti Classico
At $18 by the glass with only 90% markup over retail, it's one of the fairest pours on the list and shows proper Sangiovese structure without the usual Vegas price punishment
Feudo di San Gregorio Fiano
$72 for a bottle that retails at $25 is a 188% markup on a solid but unremarkable Campanian white—you're paying for the Carbone experience, not the wine
Piedmontese Peach Wine + Veal Parmesan
$88 for this rare northern Italian curiosity might sting, but the stone fruit aromatics and acidity cut through the rich tomato and melted cheese like a charm—it's weird, it's theatrical, it's very Carbone
The Bottom Line
If you want to drink serious Italian wine in Vegas and money isn't tight, this is your spot. The markups are Vegas-steep but the list depth is legitimately impressive—just stick to the by-the-glass steals and avoid the trophy Bordeaux unless someone else is paying.
· 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.

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.
