Wingman Metrics
You walk into Mott 32 expecting dim sum and leave thinking about wine — that's not a sentence you say about many Cantonese restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip. The list lands with serious weight: 400-plus selections anchored by California cult names and old-world heavyweights that have earned their place on the page. This is a Best of Award of Excellence program run by a named team, and it shows.
California and Burgundy are the twin engines here, with Screaming Eagle, Kistler, and Peter Michael flying the West Coast flag while Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Leroy hold down the Côte d'Or end like they own the place. Bordeaux gets its blue-chip moment too — Château Pétrus and Château Margaux are on the list, not as window dressing but as genuine options for the table that's celebrating something real. Italy shows up strong with Sassicaia and Tignanello, which is exactly the right call in a room this ambitious. The gap is everywhere outside those corridors: if you're hunting German Riesling or something from the Southern Hemisphere, you're in the wrong restaurant.
With 20 to 35 pours available, the by-the-glass program is one of the better ones you'll find inside a casino resort — and the floor team at Mott 32 knows these bottles, which matters when you're asking someone to talk you through a dozen options mid-dinner. Rotation details weren't confirmed in our research, but a list this size typically supports a solid seasonal refresh; we'd ask Kyle, Nina, or James when you sit down.
Caymus Vineyards Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon — $300
On a list full of four-figure trophies, Caymus Special Selection is the move for the table that wants a serious California Cab without going full auction-house pricing. It earns its place next to the Peking duck without requiring a second mortgage.
Tignanello
Everyone at the table is staring at the DRC and the Screaming Eagle, and meanwhile Tignanello is sitting right there — a Super Tuscan with genuine backbone and complexity that plays better with Cantonese flavors than a big Napa Cab has any right to. It's the smartest pick on a list full of flashier names.
Opus One
Opus One is a great wine sold at a price that reflects its fame more than its glass. On a Strip wine list with this kind of markup, you're paying a premium on top of a premium — the same money gets you further with almost anything else on this list.
Kistler Vineyards Chardonnay + Dim Sum
Kistler's Chardonnay has the richness to hold up to the variety of flavors hitting the table during a dim sum service, without steamrolling the delicate preparations. It's one of the few whites on a list this red-heavy that actually earns its seat at this particular table.
🔥 The Bottom Line
Mott 32 is the rare Vegas restaurant where the wine program is as considered as the room it's served in — a named sommelier team, a deep California and Burgundy list, and proper glassware in a setting that means business. Markups run steep, as expected for the Strip, but the depth and execution here are the real thing.

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.

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.
