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.

đź’°Best Value

Clos de los Siete — $26.95

Argentine power at the lowest bottle price on the list—Michel Rolland's Mendoza project drinks like $50

đź’ŽHidden Gem

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

🍽️Perfect Pairing

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.
