First Impression
Nearly 2,770 labels—this isn't a wine list, it's a wine library with a steakhouse attached. The Emeril empire brought serious cellar game to the Strip, spanning everything from entry-level California to premier cru Burgundy and first-growth Bordeaux. This is where high-rollers come to blow their craps winnings on Vega Sicilia.
Selection Deep Dive
The depth here is legitimacy impressive: California heavy-hitters like Kistler and Cakebread sit alongside Burgundian legends and serious Italian firepower from Elvio Cogno and Masi. Bordeaux collectors will find Château Palmer hiding in here. The list skews classic—Old World France and Italy get proper respect, with California filling out the American steakhouse playbook. It's built for big spenders but surprisingly navigable, with enough mid-tier options that you won't mortgage your room rate on a bottle.
By the Glass
The glass program runs several deep with pricing from $7.25 to $12.95, which is shockingly reasonable for a Venetian steakhouse. You'll find accessible pours like Mirassou Pinot Noir and MacMurray Ranch alongside the bottle list's heavier artillery. It's a solid roster for people who want one glass with their ribeye without committing to a full bottle, though the selection plays it safer than the cellar suggests.
Clos de los Siete — $26.95
Argentine power at the lowest bottle price on the list—Michel Rolland's Mendoza project drinks like $50
Elvio Cogno Barolo
Langhe traditionalist making elegant, age-worthy Nebbiolo that gets overshadowed by the Bordeaux flex on this list
DaVinci Chianti
Generic grocery-store Chianti marked up to Vegas prices—save your money for literally anything else
Masi Amarone Costa Sera + Bone-in Ribeye
Rich, raisinated Veneto power matches the char and fat on a 22oz ribeye—both are unapologetically huge
🔥 The Bottom Line
This is the real deal: a cellar that justifies the high-roller zip code with serious depth and sommeliers who actually know what they're pouring. Yes, you'll pay Strip markups, but when the list goes this deep, it's worth the splurge.
