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 Strip · Las Vegas · American, Italian
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.

La Strega is doing something genuinely unusual for a Las Vegas neighborhood Italian: serving serious wine at prices that don't require an expense account, backed by a sommelier who knows what she's doing. Tuesday half-price wine night is not a gimmick — it's a reason to rearrange your week.

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.

é is a Wild Card in the most literal sense — a nine-seat secret room inside a casino that takes Spanish wine more seriously than most dedicated wine bars. If you're eating here, you're already spending money; lean into the list and let Chris So point you somewhere unexpected.

Wakuda isn't a wine destination in the way a dedicated wine bar is, but it's doing something genuinely interesting — pairing a focused, high-quality California-and-Burgundy list with Japanese cuisine that actually rewards that combination. If you're eating here, drink the wine; Luis Guillen knows what he's doing.

Perry's is a reliable steakhouse wine list — nothing that'll make you rethink your palate, but enough to drink well with red meat if you know where to look. The fortified and dessert wine section is genuinely worth your attention; the rest is competent but forgettable.
