Wingman Metrics
The wine list at SW Steakhouse lands on your table like a phonebook from another era — 1,800+ labels that span everything from Screaming Eagle to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. This is the Wynn, so expectations are high, and the cellar delivers on depth even if your wallet will feel it.
The focus skews heavily toward Napa Valley cult cabs, blue-chip Burgundy, and first-growth Bordeaux — exactly what you'd expect at a high-roller steakhouse. You'll find Harlan Estate, Opus One, and Pétrus alongside serious verticals of top producers. The collection goes wide too, with strong Italian and Spanish sections that show someone actually curates this thing. Price points range from approachable $80 bottles to five-figure unicorns that probably sell once a year to someone celebrating a big win at the tables.
Twenty-plus glass pours include the usual suspects like Whispering Angel rosé and Trefethen Chardonnay, priced between $18-$60. The glass program plays it safe rather than adventurous — you won't find natural wines or emerging regions here, just reliable crowd-pleasers. Rotation seems minimal, with the same core lineup staying put rather than showcasing seasonal or rare pours.
Trefethen Chardonnay, Napa Valley — $68
Only 70% markup on a $40 retail bottle — practically a steal by Vegas steakhouse standards, and it's a classic Napa chard that actually pairs with food
Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée 1785 Brut
At $90, it's the only wine on the list with a reasonable 100% markup, and it's a solid grower Champagne that gets overshadowed by the flashier Moët and Veuve next to it
Caves d'Esclans Whispering Angel, Côtes de Provence
They're charging $68 for a $20 retail bottle of the most ubiquitous rosé in America — a 240% markup that's borderline offensive even for the Strip
Framingham Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough + Maine Lobster
Classic New Zealand citrus and minerality cuts through butter-poached lobster beautifully, and at $68 it's one of the more restrained markups on the glass list
The Bottom Line
SW Steakhouse earns its Rager badge on cellar depth alone — this is one of the most serious wine programs in Vegas, with proper storage, knowledgeable staff, and bottles you won't find anywhere else. But you'll pay Vegas prices: most markups sit between 150-250%, which stings even when you're expecting it.

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.

STK Las Vegas is a bottle-list business masquerading as a wine program — three by-the-glass pours, a roster of safe California hits, and Vegas markups that'll make your eyes water. Order the Whispering Angel at happy hour, grab a bottle of Belle Glos if you're feeling generous, and save the real wine exploration for somewhere that cares.

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. The list is compact but genuinely considered, markups are fair across the board, and the full bottle-to-glass availability is a policy every restaurant should copy. If you're eating in Healdsburg and want to drink well without overpaying, this is a legitimate stop.
