The wine list arrives like a hardbound novel — and at 1,800 to 2,500 selections, it reads like one too. Crystal chandeliers, fresh flowers the size of small trees, and a room that whispers 'this is serious' before you've touched the menu. This is not a list assembled by a hotel F&B committee — it's a statement.
Burgundy and Bordeaux are the twin pillars, and they are stacked: Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Henri Jayer Vosne-Romanée, Leroy Musigny, Domaine Leflaive Montrachet, and Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet represent the kind of depth that makes collectors call ahead. Bordeaux runs the full classified-growth spectrum, with Château Pétrus, Château Le Pin, Château Mouton Rothschild, and Château Latour all present. Champagne holds its own with Krug Clos du Mesnil 2012, Salon Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs, and Dom Pérignon P2 — not filler bottles, actual prestige cuvées. California shows up meaningfully with Screaming Eagle, Harlan Estate, and Opus One, and the Rhône contingent includes E. Guigal La Landonne and Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage — this is a Wine Spectator Grand Award list that has held its credential since 2009 for very good reason.
Twenty to thirty-five pours by the glass is a generous spread for a room this formal, and the program reflects the cellar's seriousness rather than just defaulting to house Burgundy and calling it done. Sommeliers Thomas Ratcliff and Igor Rosas run the floor, and they'll actually talk you through the glass list without making you feel interrogated. Sunday's half-price wine night is when the real action happens — more on that below.
Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 — $325
At a room where bottles routinely breach four figures, $325 for DP 2015 is the most accessible entry point on a legitimately elite Champagne list — and it's the kind of wine that makes the whole evening feel like an occasion without requiring a second mortgage.
Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 2018
Everyone eyes the Burgundy and Bordeaux trophies, and La Landonne gets overlooked. That's a mistake — Guigal's single-vineyard La Landonne is one of the most age-worthy, structured Syrahs on the planet, and at $650 it's practically an underdog in this room.
Opus One 2019
At $550 a bottle, Opus One is the wine you order when you want to signal that you know wine — but don't. It's widely available retail, heavily traded, and at this price point there are a dozen more compelling bottles on this list that your table will actually remember.
Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes 2018 + La Langoustine
Leflaive's Les Combettes is all tension and minerality with enough richness to match the sweetness of the langoustine — it's the kind of pairing where neither the wine nor the dish finishes without the other.
Sunday — Half-price wine night every Sunday — the single best opportunity to drink from this cellar without requiring a full expense account.
The Bottom Line
Joël Robuchon is the rare Strip restaurant where the wine list is as serious as the kitchen — this is a destination list, not a hotel afterthought. If you're going to spend real money on a bottle anywhere in Las Vegas, it's here.
Caesars Palace · Las Vegas · French Fine Dining
This is where you come when wine matters as much as the food. The markup is Vegas-steep, but the cellar is world-class and the staff can navigate it. If you're celebrating big or chasing rare French bottles, this is the room.

Lamaii is the rare Las Vegas restaurant where the wine list reflects a genuine point of view — the grower Champagne program alone is worth the visit. Send a friend here and tell them to order a Spécial Club.

STK Las Vegas is a bottle-list business masquerading as a wine program — three by-the-glass pours, a roster of safe California hits, and Vegas markups that'll make your eyes water. Order the Whispering Angel at happy hour, grab a bottle of Belle Glos if you're feeling generous, and save the real wine exploration for somewhere that cares.

Diner Ross is doing something genuinely weird and kind of wonderful — a Champagne-forward list inside a Vegas diner is a wild card move that mostly works. Just don't show up expecting range beyond bubbles, and go for the growers before you default to the celebrity bottles.

The Palm Las Vegas is an unlikely wine discovery — a six-bottle natural and old-world-leaning list tucked inside a steakhouse institution, priced like someone forgot they're on the Strip. Don't sleep on it.

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.

Lutèce is a strong place to explore French wine with a firm budget in mind. The posted list runs from a $64 Southern Rhône red to $600 Champagne, so tell Chris Ray what you want to spend and let that guide the conversation. Confirm prices and availability when you book or arrive.

Cépage is a destination restaurant in a destination wine region — the kind of place you plan a Saturday around, not somewhere you stumble into. The wine program appears honest to its terroir and purpose, though pricing at this caliber of operation rarely favors the guest. If you're already out on Highway 46 with a reservation in hand, you're likely going to have a very good time; just don't arrive expecting a sprawling global list or a killer value-hunting opportunity.
