Wingman Metrics
Opening the wine list at Ocean Prime feels like a statement of intent — 400 to 600 selections across California, Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Italy, anchored by a Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator earned in 2024. This is a 14,000-square-foot operation with three bars and a rooftop terrace, and the wine program matches that scale. It's a big-room list, but it's not a lazy one.
The California section is the obvious centerpiece — Caymus, Silver Oak, Stag's Leap, Far Niente, Duckhorn, Jordan, and Opus One all make appearances, hitting every button a Strip steakhouse crowd is going to want pressed. France holds its own with Chateau Margaux, Chateau Lynch-Bages, Louis Jadot, and Joseph Drouhin's Chambolle-Musigny giving Burgundy real credibility. Italy rounds things out with heavyweights like Gaja Barbaresco and Antinori Tignanello — not afterthoughts, actual bottles worth ordering. The list skews prestige-heavy and plays to crowd-pleasers, but with names like these, that's not necessarily a knock.
With 20 to 35 options by the glass, there's genuine range here — enough to work through a serious meal course by course without committing to a bottle you'll outpace. Joshua Dunson's presence as an on-staff sommelier suggests the glass program gets some actual curation rather than just defaulting to whatever the distributor pushed hardest. Rotation specifics weren't confirmed, but a list this size usually means the BTG selection has some breathing room.
Jordan Vineyard & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon — $80–$120
Jordan is the quiet professional on a list full of trophy hunters. It's polished, consistent, and doesn't demand a Las Vegas-sized budget to justify ordering. On a list where the ceiling is Opus One, Jordan is where the smart money goes.
Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny
Every table around you is ordering Cab, which means the Chambolle-Musigny sits there quietly being exceptional. Burgundy at a steakhouse gets overlooked constantly — don't let it. This is a wine that rewards the curious and punishes no one.
Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
Caymus is everywhere, and on the Strip it's marked up accordingly. It's not a bad wine, but you're paying a premium for familiarity at a place that has far more interesting bottles at comparable or lower prices. It's the safe order, not the smart one.
Gaja Barbaresco + Bone-in Ribeye
Gaja's Barbaresco has the structure and acidity to cut through the fat on a bone-in ribeye without steamrolling the meat. It's the kind of pairing that makes the food taste better and the wine taste better simultaneously — which is the whole point.
The Bottom Line
Ocean Prime Las Vegas is a genuine wine destination dressed in steakhouse clothing — the list has real depth, the sommelier knows what he's doing, and the setting justifies the occasion. Just go in knowing you'll pay Strip prices for the privilege, and order accordingly.
· 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.
Georgetown · Washington · Seafood, Steakhouse
An unpriced list that is easier to read for what it offers than for what it costs. If you want Bordeaux, ask for the 2020 Margaux de Brane Cantenac, or look at the Brunello di Montalcino in Sommelier's Selections, and get the price before you commit. This unrated guide covers the posted Beverage Menu, not service, storage or markups.
Back Bay · Boston · Seafood, Steakhouse
A beverage book that covers a lot more than California: 19 glass pours up front, then Napa, Burgundy, Bordeaux, the Rhône and Piedmont behind them. If you are spending, look at the Kistler Les Noisetiers Chardonnay at $175; if you are not, the Zlatan Otok Plavac Mali is the lowest-priced full bottle at $39. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.

Brickhouse posts a steakhouse list with a long Washington Cabernet section and 6 oz glass pours from $12.
