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.

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.

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.

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.
