Wine Spectator Award-Winning Restaurants in Las Vegas

Ada’s Food + Wine

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Ada’s Food + Wine is a Las Vegas wine bar where the beverage program carries the editorial weight: James Beard Foundation 2026 semifinalist recognition, Star Wine List inclusion, and World of Fine Wine accreditation point to a serious cellar culture rather than a casual by-the-glass stop. The food format is small plates, which makes the sourcing and pairing logic matter more than menu theatrics.

Al Solito Posto

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Al Solito Posto on South Rampart brings the rhythms of a neighbourhood Italian trattoria to the residential western edge of Las Vegas — a part of the city where the Strip's spectacle recedes and regular life takes over. The room reads as a place for marking occasions: anniversaries, birthdays, the kind of dinner that needs a table rather than a reservation at a counter. Located at 420 S Rampart Blvd, Suite 180, it sits within easy reach of Summerlin's growing dining corridor.

Alexxa's

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Located on the Las Vegas Strip at 3655 S Las Vegas Blvd, Alexxa's occupies a stretch of boulevard where dining concepts rise, reinvent, and occasionally disappear at a pace matched by few American cities. The venue sits within the broader pattern of Strip-adjacent dining that has shifted considerably over the past decade, as visitor expectations and culinary ambition have both moved upward.

Anthony’s Prime Steak & Seafood

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Anthony’s Prime Steak & Seafood belongs to the Las Vegas steakhouse tradition, where beef, shellfish, and a high-comfort dining room carry more weight than chef theatrics. Its Henderson address places it outside the Strip’s casino-dining core, making it a useful choice for readers comparing destination steakhouses with neighborhood-adjacent resort dining.

Balla Italian Soul

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Balla Italian Soul brings a Southern Italian sensibility to the Las Vegas Strip, positioned at 2535 S Las Vegas Blvd where the city's appetite for theatrical dining meets a more ingredient-focused approach to pasta and wood-fired cooking. The room earns its place in a Strip dining scene that increasingly rewards specificity over spectacle, offering a counterpoint to the buffet-scale formats that long defined the corridor.

Bardot Brasserie

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Ranked among Opinionated About Dining's top North American restaurants in 2024 and 2025, Bardot Brasserie at ARIA Resort and Casino brings French brasserie cooking into the Las Vegas casino-hotel format with a wine list running to 1,000 bottles and a program weighted toward France and California.

Bazaar Mar

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Bazaar Mar places seafood sourcing at the center of a Las Vegas Strip meal, a useful counterpoint to the city’s steakhouse and spectacle-driven dining habits. The appeal is the category itself: fish and shellfish require sharper procurement, faster turnover, and more disciplined cooking than the room-first restaurants that often dominate casino dining.

Bazaar Meat by Jose Andres

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Ranked #82 on Opinionated About Dining's North America list in 2025 and. The kitchen applies technique-driven heat work to a broad range of proteins, placing it in a different competitive set from the classic American chophouses that dominate the corridor.

Also recognized by AHEAD Awards, Opinionated About Dining, Star Wine List

Bistecca

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Bistecca on East Flamingo Road plants itself in the middle of the Las Vegas Italian steakhouse tradition, where the bistecca alla fiorentina format — thick-cut, bone-in, aggressively seasoned — gives the wine list a clear purpose and the kitchen a defined lane. The room rewards repeat visitors who arrive with a specific bottle in mind and a willingness to let the cut drive the evening.

Blossom

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Blossom at ARIA Resort & Casino brings Chinese fine dining to the Las Vegas Strip, operating in a tier where presentation discipline and sourcing integrity matter as much as technique. Inside one of the Strip's most architecturally considered casino properties, the restaurant addresses a dining category that Las Vegas has historically underserved at the premium end.

Also recognized by Opinionated About Dining

Bouchon Las Vegas

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Thomas Keller's French bistro on the tenth floor of The Venetian translates the Yountville original to a Las Vegas address without diluting the format. The room occupies a quieter register than the casino floor below, and the menu runs the classic brasserie repertoire — steak frites, moules, rotisserie chicken — with the sourcing discipline Keller's name carries. The adjacent bakery is a separate stop worth planning around.

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Caramella sits inside Planet Hollywood on the central Strip, placing it at the intersection of resort convenience and casual dining.

The dining room trades on mid-century Italian-American theatrics, where the cocktail arrives as seriously as the pasta.

Also recognized by Esquire

Carversteak

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Carversteak occupies a prime position inside Resorts World on the Las Vegas Strip, positioning itself as the opening act for a full evening rather than a standalone dinner.

Also recognized by Star Wine List

Chica

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Chica brings Latin cooking rooted in Chef Lorena Garcia's Venezuelan background to the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, operating daily from breakfast through late night.

Also recognized by Opinionated About Dining

Craftsteak

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Craftsteak at MGM Grand has occupied a serious position in the Las Vegas steakhouse conversation for years, anchored by James Beard Award-winning chef Tom Colicchio's commitment to sourcing from small, regional farms.

Diner Ross Steakhouse

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Diner Ross Steakhouse sits inside The LINQ Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, placing it squarely within the corridor where steakhouse competition runs thickest. The format follows the Strip's established playbook: a full-service steakhouse anchoring a casino-hotel property, positioned for guests who want beef-forward dining without venturing off the boulevard. Las Vegas's mid-tier steakhouse tier is crowded, and Diner Ross occupies that contested ground.

Don Vito's

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Don Vito's sits at 9777 Las Vegas Boulevard South, placing it at the southern end of the Strip corridor where the dining character shifts away from casino-floor spectacle. The Italian-American format fits a well-established Las Vegas tradition of red-sauce and white-tablecloth comfort running alongside the city's more theatrical dining tier. Booking ahead is advisable, particularly on weekends.

Don’s Prime

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Don's Prime occupies the luxury steakhouse tier inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas, where the Strip's premium dining competition is most concentrated.

Ferraro's Ristorante Las Vegas

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Among Las Vegas Italian restaurants, Ferraro's Ristorante on Paradise Road operates in a category shaped by genuine cultural ownership rather than Strip spectacle. Owned by the Ferraro family, it carries a reputation for lived-in Italian hospitality that positions it apart from the city's hotel-backed dining rooms. For milestone dinners and occasion meals, it draws a repeat local clientele who treat it as a dependable anchor.

Genting Palace

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Genting Palace at Resorts World Las Vegas makes a serious case for Cantonese dining on the Strip. Dim sum arrives in sculptural, color-coded presentations, the Peking duck is carved tableside, and a wine list of 1,500 bottles — weighted toward Burgundy and Bordeaux — gives the room credentials that extend well beyond its casino-hotel address.

Also recognized by Forbes

Golden Steer Steakhouse Las Vegas

Las Vegas, United States

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Las Vegas's oldest steakhouse, operating since 1958, the Golden Steer has outlasted the city's many reinventions without changing its formula: leather booths, dim lighting, tableside preparations, and prime-aged beef. Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley were regulars during the Rat Pack era, and the room still carries that mid-century weight. On West Sahara, away from the Strip's churn, it represents a direct line to old Las Vegas dining culture.

Hakkasan Las Vegas

Las Vegas, United States

Hakkasan Las Vegas brings the London-born Cantonese fine dining brand to the Strip at MGM Grand, where theatrical design and a broad Cantonese menu make it one of the more serious Chinese dining addresses in a city not historically known for the cuisine.
