Wakuda's website puts the restaurant in the Palazzo Lobby at The Venetian Resort. It links a Wine Book dated 6.20.2026 that opens with a welcome to the world of wine and sake, then runs through specialty cocktails, wine and sake by the glass, sake bottles, Champagne, white, rosé, red and sweet and fortified wines.
The bottle list is deep and French-American. Chardonnay and Burgundy start with Pride from Napa at $95 and climb to a Coche-Dury Corton-Charlemagne 2016 at $17,000. Pinot Noir and Burgundy open with Averaen from the Willamette Valley at $90 and end with Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti Grand Cru 2022 at $30,000. On the Cabernet side you can see Caymus Napa Valley 2023 at $270, Opus One Overture 2022 at $490 and Caymus Special Selection 2019 at $630. Riesling starts with Selbach Incline from the Mosel at $65. The book also has a 375ml section, such as Etude Pinot Noir from Carneros at $70.
Two glass lists share the page. The standard list runs from $17, the Vouvray Chenin Blanc Demi-Sec and the Triennes rosé, to $30 for the Perrier-Jouët Champagne, with Failla Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir at $24 and Burgess Napa Cabernet at $26. The Reserve list runs from $35 for the Leydet-Valentin Saint-Émilion to $90 for the Kenzo Estate Rindo Cabernet. Sake by the glass is separate, with Dassai Blue 50 at $23 for 4 oz.
The Bottom Line
Start with the $17 Vouvray Chenin Blanc by the glass, or spend $40 on the Faiveley Mercurey with the Duck on the Rock. Prices come from the Wine Book dated 6.20.2026 and a dinner menu dated 11.26.2025, so confirm what is available. This unrated guide covers the posted wine book, not service, storage or retail markups.
· 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.

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.

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.

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.
· Duluth · Japanese
Haru Ichiban is not a wine destination, and that's fine — plenty of great Japanese restaurants aren't. But if wine matters to you at dinner, this list gives you nothing to work with: no producers, no prices, no effort. Come for the food, skip the wine, and maybe order the Choya Plum Wine if you want something that at least fits the vibe.

· Roswell · Japanese
Tanaka's wine list is functional in the same way a vending machine is functional — it technically dispenses what you need, but no one's excited about it. The pricing is fair and the Umeshu is a genuine bright spot, but seven bottles at a sit-down Japanese restaurant in 2024 signals that wine just isn't a priority here. Order the sake, or bring your own if corkage allows.

For a Japanese lounge with a 21-bottle list, Stingray is doing more work than it has any reason to. The Grüner, the Loire whites, and that Grand Cru Champagne are all legitimate finds at prices that won't sting. If you're nearby and want something better than the usual sushi-spot house white, this is worth the detour.
