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.
Pinot Noir, Bouchaine Dijon Clone 2021 — $39
Only 13% markup on a solid Carneros producer means you're drinking $45 retail wine for basically what it costs anywhere else, except here you get proper stems and a sommelier
Malbec, Zaha 'Toko Vineyard' 2019
Most people skip Malbec at steakhouses for Napa Cab, but this Mendoza single-vineyard expression at $37 brings serious structure and spice that cuts through fat as well as anything twice the price
Château d'Yquem 2011 (1 oz pour)
Sure, it's legendary Sauternes, but a one-ounce pour at a casino steakhouse feels more like a flex than a drinking experience — save your money for an actual bottle elsewhere
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cade Howell Mountain 2021 + Bone-in Ribeye
Howell Mountain Cabs are built for this exact moment — volcanic minerality and mountain tannins meet 1000°F broiler char and marbling, the wine's structure cutting through fat while amplifying the beef's savory depth
The Bottom Line
A Vegas Strip steakhouse wine program that treats you like an actual human instead of a walking ATM. Fair pricing, serious depth, and a team that knows their stuff — this is where you drink wine in Vegas.
Caesars Palace · Las Vegas · French Fine Dining
This is where you come when wine matters as much as the food. The markup is Vegas-steep, but the cellar is world-class and the staff can navigate it. If you're celebrating big or chasing rare French bottles, this is the room.

Diner Ross is doing something genuinely weird and kind of wonderful — a Champagne-forward list inside a Vegas diner is a wild card move that mostly works. Just don't show up expecting range beyond bubbles, and go for the growers before you default to the celebrity bottles.

Il Premio is a steakhouse that took its wine list seriously enough to skip the obvious plays, and the result is one of the more interesting Italian-focused lists in Atlanta right now. It's compact, priced fairly across the board, and built for exploration — whether you're going glass by glass through the Italian regions or just need a solid bottle of Chianti Classico at $72 to make a steak dinner feel right. We'd send a friend here specifically for the wine.

Stark's is the rare steakhouse that treats wine as something other than an afterthought or a cash grab.
