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.
· 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.

· Las Vegas · Restaurant
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.
