Wingman Metrics
Peter Luger landing on the Strip is a bit like seeing your favorite New York diner open inside a casino — familiar bones, different energy. The wine list leans hard into the trophy-bottle territory that Las Vegas dining rooms love: California cult Cabs and first-growth Bordeaux front and center. Wine Spectator handed them a Best of Award of Excellence in 2025, and the cellar clearly has the goods to back it up.
The list is built around two pillars — California and France — which fits the Peter Luger brand even if it doesn't surprise you. You'll find the usual suspects: Opus One, Harlan Estate, Dominus, Pétrus, Château Lafite Rothschild, and the full DRC if you're feeling reckless. What's largely absent is anything left of center — no serious Rhône, no Italian, no surprises. This is a list curated to impress the expense-account crowd, not to educate anyone. The depth within those two regions is real, though, and that's worth acknowledging.
By-the-glass specifics weren't available during our visit, and the floor staff couldn't give us a clear rundown of what's currently pouring. That's a miss for a restaurant operating at this level. If you're not dropping four figures on a bottle, you may be flying blind.
Dominus Estate 2020 — $650
In a list full of four-figure bottles, Dominus at $650 is the relative sanity check. It's a serious Napa Cab with Bordeaux DNA, made at one of the valley's most consistent estates — and next to an $8,500 DRC, it practically feels like a bargain. It's still expensive, but it's the one bottle here where you get genuine quality without full strip-resort sticker shock.
Dominus Estate 2020
On a list dominated by cult labels and first growths, Dominus tends to get overlooked by the table ordering Screaming Eagle or Harlan. Christian Moueix's Napa project has been quietly excellent for decades — less hype, more wine. It's the pick for anyone who actually wants to drink well rather than show off.
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti 2018
At $8,500, this isn't a wine purchase — it's a flex. DRC is transcendent in the right context, but ordering it at a Las Vegas steakhouse alongside a porterhouse is throwing complexity at a wall. Even if the storage is proper, the environment doesn't do justice to the bottle. Save this one for a dedicated wine dinner somewhere it can breathe and be appreciated.
Opus One 2019 + Porterhouse for Two
Opus One is built for exactly this moment — a big, structured Napa-Bordeaux blend with the tannin and dark fruit weight to stand up to Peter Luger's signature dry-aged porterhouse. At $950 it's a splurge, but if you're already going all-in on the porterhouse for two, this is the bottle that makes the whole meal feel intentional rather than accidental.
The Bottom Line
Peter Luger Las Vegas is a trophy hunter's paradise — the cellar is stocked, the pedigree is real, and the Wine Spectator credential is earned. Just know you're paying Strip prices on top of already-premium bottles, and if you're looking for discovery or adventure, this list won't give it to you.
· 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.

Washington · Washington · Steak House
A 20-wine by-the-glass list with every pour between $14 and $30, split across four sparkling, six white, two rosé and eight red.

Chicago Loop · Chicago · Steak House
A Napa-leaning Cabernet list with a Library & Reserve section that reaches 3,098 and glass pours from $13.99 to $49.99.

Union Square · San Francisco · Steak House
A glass list that does the steakhouse job: 36 pours, a tidy Napa Cabernet set and prices from $13. Order the $15 Beringer Cabernet with your steak, or the $14 Guado Al Tasso Vermentino if you are starting with seafood, and confirm availability since the page is undated and Morton's says pricing may vary.
