StripSteak

A 400-500 bottle list in a Vegas casino steakhouse usually means you're about to get fleeced. StripSteak flips that script completely. Michael Mina's team built a serious wine program with markup that feels almost charitable by Strip standards — we're talking 13-27% on most bottles, which is basically cost-plus in this town.

The list skews heavily toward California powerhouses and classic Bordeaux/Burgundy, but there's more nuance than your typical Strip meat temple. You'll find solid Napa benchmarks alongside thoughtful Oregon Pinots and some international wild cards like Zaha's Malbec from Mendoza and Royal Tokaji. The dessert wine section actually shows effort — Château d'Yquem by the ounce if you're feeling dangerous, plus Kopke Tawnies and Canadian ice wine. The California depth is real: everything from approachable Stonestreet to Revana's terroir-driven Cabs to serious Howell Mountain bottles from Cade.

25-35 pours by the glass is generous for a high-end steakhouse, and they're not phoning it in. The Bouchaine Pinot Noir for $39 is a Carneros Dijon clone that punches way above its price point. The Sokol Blosser from Dundee Hills appears at $28, which is basically retail pricing for proper stemware service. Even the sparkling program shows up — Michel Gonet's Blanc de Blancs is $29, about 30% less than you'd expect on the Strip.
