Wingman Metrics
We crack open a 150+ bottle wine list at a Summerlin steakhouse and find something unexpected: a serious Champagne program. Jacques Selosse, Krug, Laherte Frères — these aren't your typical Vegas table stakes. The list reads like someone who actually drinks grower Champagne wrote it, not a beverage director checking boxes.
The Champagne section alone spans three pages with grower producers most steakhouses ignore. Beyond the bubbles, you'll find classic French depth — Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rhône — plus respectable Italian and California selections. The 18 by-the-glass options cover ground from entry-level to serious, and bottles top out at $2,750 for the collectors. It's a well-edited list that doesn't waste space on filler, though the Chile and Germany sections feel like afterthoughts.
Eighteen pours by the glass at $15-$18 each is solid for a steakhouse, though nothing here feels like a steal. The selection leans safe — Taittinger Brut as the house Champagne, predictable Napa Cabs — but the staff sommelier can guide you off-menu if you ask nicely. They rotate seasonally but don't push boundaries.
Bollinger Special Cuvée NV — $145
Still steep at 107% markup, but it's the most honest pricing we found on the Champagne list and a workhorse bottle that delivers
Laherte Frères Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature
Grower Champagne with zero dosage that cuts through bone marrow like a laser — most tables skip it for the Krug, their loss
Gaston Chiquet Carte d'Or Brut Dizy 2018
250% markup on a $50 retail bottle is insulting, even for Vegas — there are better grower Champagnes on this list at fairer prices
Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé NV + Crudo Tasting
The rosé's red fruit and precise acidity play perfectly with raw fish's clean minerality, though at $225 you're paying Vegas tax
The Bottom Line
Harlo nails the wine program fundamentals — deep list, proper storage, knowledgeable staff — but the markups sting even by steakhouse standards. Come for the Champagne selection, wince at the check, drink well anyway.
· 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. 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.
· Hoschton · Steakhouse
Jacks is a genuinely fun neighborhood hang with solid food, but the wine program doesn't match the ambition of the kitchen. If wine is your thing, call ahead or bring your own if corkage is an option — otherwise, lean into the cocktails and enjoy the patio. We'd love to revisit this rating if they ever put some real thought into the list.

East Point · Atlanta · Steakhouse
Malone's earns its loyal following on the strength of its pork chops and tenderloin, not its wine list. If wine matters to your meal, you may want to call ahead and ask what's available — or just lean into a cocktail and let the steak do the heavy lifting. This one's a food-first destination.

· Acworth · Steakhouse
AG Steakhouse earns its reputation as a go-to for celebrations and big nights out on Lake Acworth — but the wine program appears to be in service of the experience rather than a destination in itself. If you're splurging on the filet or the Oscar-style halibut, budget accordingly for the bottle too, and don't expect the list to surprise you. A solid place to drink wine; not a reason to come specifically for wine.
