Marché Bacchus is a French bistro with a legacy of pouring fabulous wines for decades in the Desert Shores community. A rustic wine shop sits across from the main bar, where rows of wooden shelves boast hundreds of international labels, offering the choice to take a bottle right to the table for a $10 corkage fee. Then, enjoy authentic French cuisine with a lakeside view. The restaurant also hosts multi-course special wine and dinner pairing events.

Experience a taste of Old Vegas at this steakhouse nestled within the Four Queens Hotel and Casino, where ladies receive a rose upon entry and tableside service is still on the menu. Hugo’s Cellar has a curated collection of between 250 and 300 labels, so there’s always something to pair with the beef Wellington or a prime rib steak. Sommelier Jon Simmons has worked at Hugo’s for 40 years and curates a stash of around 50 to 75 off-list wines for his regulars. The opportunity to try rare vintages like the 2018 Futo 5500 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley or even a 1989 Chateau Mouton Rothschild warrants repeat visits. 

Vic & Anthony’s carries over 1,300 wines from all over the world, focusing on California and French labels along with a nice selection of Willamette Valley pinot noirs. Quarterly wine dinners featuring world-class winemakers are a fixture at this timeless steakhouse located inside the Golden Nugget. Classic steakhouse dishes like the jumbo lump crab cake, iceberg wedge salad, and a grass-fed 40-ounce Tomahawk are available seven days a week.

A restaurant name meaning “hello wine” is a good indicator for an authentic, Italian-forward wine selection containing the best of Piedmont, Sicily, and Tuscany, to name a few regions. Ciao Vino opened in Boca Park in October 2024 with a nearly floor-to-ceiling wine wall and down-home Italian bites, such as French onion rotolo with taleggio cheese and Vidalia onions. A stacked birdcage of assorted pastries and mignardises accompanied by a dessert wine gives any meal enjoyed here a sweet finish.

As the first winery to open within the City of Las Vegas, the Pine Hollow winemaking facility and tasting room are decidedly fabulous, but not fancy. The small tasting room hosts tastings in which you can sample six or eight of the winery’s hand-crafted small-batch wines. The wines are inventive and fun — there’s the Warm Fuzzy, a chardonnay with peach and apricot and Peppermint Dreams, a merlot with hints of chocolate and peppermint. A white Zinfandel and Cabernet Franc are both set to be released in 2025.

Sommelier husband-and-wife duo Jessica and Brian Dynda run Crush Pad, an unpretentious wine bar on the southwest side of Las Vegas. This cozy spot pours well over 30-plus wines by the glass, pulling from a traditional and obscure mix of places and grapes like Slovenia, Austria, the Czech Republic, and beyond. This is the place to ask for choices that are “classic and curious,” according to Jessica, to blow your taste buds away, and with flights that are not pre-selected, wine drinkers can mix and match their own tastings.

This Wally’s is the only location to exist outside of southern California. More than 1,800 labels — and a whopping 8,000 bottles— lay waiting inside this Resorts World bar and restaurant.

Get your bottle to go or stay and order a flatbread or charcuterie board to pair while you sip.

A Vegas staple since 1982, Piero’s houses over 1,900 wine labels and 10,000 bottles in its cellar. Complements to the Italian cuisine and vintage dining space range from classic producers to niche bottles, perfect for wine lovers of all calibers to enjoy. The wine list is organized by region, then reds, whites, and the like, with sectioned-off varietals for the larger powerhouse regions in California and France. 

Located inside the Venetian Resort, chef Emeril Lagasse’s elegant take on the American steakhouse offers a selection of more than 14,000 wine bottles. If ordering for the table, bottles start at $25 like a half-bottle of Au Bon Climat Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County but range all the way up to over $75,000 per bottle, like the prestigious 2005 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti Grand Cru red Burgundy. Grab a bottle of white wine to pair with seafood, or choose a rich red to complement a steak with all of the succulent sides like cream corn gratin and country smashed potatoes.

This family-run restaurant that opened in 1985 is known for its extensive 70-page wine list and classic Italian cuisine.

Locals can enjoy 50 percent off over 150 premium wine selections on Friday and Saturday nights. 

This three-star Michelin establishment by the late Joël Robuchon serves fine French cuisine in an art deco setting at MGM Grand. Along with 25 wines by the glass wine pairings are thoughtfully crafted by the sommelier team and move through Champagne for the amuse-bouche, whites and reds for each course, and a dessert wine to close. Options range from the Village Wine pairing for $225, the Premier Cru pairing for $450, and the Grand Cru pairing for a cool $995. Custom pairings can be made upon request for small menu dishes.

Amari is the Uncommons Italian outpost that features an open-air patio and wine shop. Amari’s wine list contains an Italian-heavy roster of wines, with well-known French and American producers mixed in. Eponymous to boot, Amari is also known for its collection of amaro, a grape brandy infused with herbs served as an aperitif to dishes like crispy eggplant pizza, campanelle, or oven-roasted chicken.

As Uncommons’ resident wine bar, Wineaux is a journey through a wide variety of world terroirs. The bright and airy space houses both dining and retail areas, with cheese and charcuterie essentials available to take home — along with wine bottles, of course. Stop in for happy hour deals like hamachi and caviar or housemade popcorn, spritzes, and 25 percent off wine bottles in-store. Or reserve the Tasting Table for a group outing with beverage packages including wine and beer selections.
