Las Vegas has an incredible dining scene – everyone knows that. But for wine lovers, Vegas also offers some of the most impressive lists between Napa Valley, and, well, anywhere! With more master sommeliers here than any other spot in the Western Hemisphere and so many visitors to satisfy, you can find your pick of Screaming Eagle vintages, fine Bordeaux or hard-to-get Hungarian Tokaji bottlings...great $7 glasses and $7,000 bottles alike.

Let's hit the highlights...

Literally built around its one-of-a-kind glass wine tower, Charlie Palmer's gorgeous Aureole (Mandalay Bay) is one of our most noteworthy wine destinations, with a unique computer tablet on which to peruse the cross-referenced list (24,000 bottles/more than 2,500 selections), concentrating on fine French, German and Californian wines. Wine director and master sommelier William Sherer loves the lemony, aromatic Iberian Remix Albarino that pairs well with scallops and salmon. Other fi ne lists can be found here at RM Seafood (global organic and sustainable selections) and Fleur De Lys (très French) as well as Alain Ducasse's Mix and Michael Mina's StripSteak.

Up the Strip, Bellagio operates the biggest wine program in the world (50,000 bottles/5,000 selections resortwide), with a dossier of different restaurant environments. Chief among them, Picasso focuses on France and Spain equally (with Germans, Australians and Californians as well). From his 17,000 bottle/1,500 selection cellar, master sommelier Robert Smith raves about the "rich but sublime" Galician white Dominio Do Bibei, Lapola, Ribeira Sacra. Then there's Michael Mina (white Burgundies, Germans), Prime (California cults), Sensi (Australia, New Zealand), Le Cirque, Circo and even Chinese restaurant Jasmine (French, Rieslings).

We'd certainly be remiss not to mention the gem that is Restaurant Guy Savoy (Caesars Palace) with a "wow" list of 25,000 bottles/2,100 selections, virtually all French. "My dad's cuisine is made mostly for Burgundies," said manager Franck Savoy, who highlights Domaine de Montille Volnay as a favorite, along with verticals of Romanée-Conti, among others. If that selection isn't lavish enough, treat yourself and at least five friends to the Krug Room, a private dining enclave made for a meal paired to several vintages of the top-shelf champagne. Other places to fi nd fi ne wines at Caesars Palace include Bradley Ogden and Spago and Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab in The Forum Shops.

Not to be outdone, Joël Robuchon at MGM Grand joined the list of Wine Spectator Grand Award winners this year, focusing on deep verticals of Bordeaux and Californian cabernets. While you're here consider the Bruno Paillard Premiere Cuvee Champagne, a delicious champagne to enjoy any time during the meal, with amazing fl avors and nuances that match beautifully with Robuchon's food. Other respectable lists at MGM Grand can be found at Fiamma Trattoria (Italians), Craftsteak (lots of Californian big reds), Emeril's New Orleans Fish House, Nobhill Tavern and, for Japanese sake, Shibuya.

Throughout The Venetian and The Palazzo are so many worthy wine destinations that one could do a great "crawl" without ever going outside! Start at Double Helix, the open-walled wine lounge that serves 50-plus selections by the glass (including sought-after '04 Silver Oak cabernet and '07 Ken Wright pinot noir) while offering 500 bottles for sale, with free delivery to any hotel on the Strip. Valentino has a 30,000 bottle/2,200 selection list (it's a phone book) focusing naturally on Italians, but with plenty of French and Californians. Delmonico Steakhouse's list (19,000 bottles/1,900 selections, sampling all of Western Europe as well as California) has been winning awards virtually since it opened.

The restaurants of Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich also take wine seriously: B&B focusing on Northern Italian varietals, Carnevino adding in some Bordeaux for the beef, Enoteca San Marco selecting from throughout Italy. You'll also find nice bottles at AquaKnox, David Burke, Pinot Brasserie and Bouchon.

Even the hip Palms resort offers several destinations for oenophiles: N9ne Steakhouse offers 10,000 bottles/1,000 selections, spotlighting Californian big reds, Bordeaux and Spanish gems like wine director Christian Margesson's favorite robust red '06 Termes Numanthia Toro (Tempranillo). Nove Italiano focuses on Italian, naturally, and Alizé offers fine French and Californians alike.

And if you're looking for more by-the-glass options, try Morels at The Palazzo, or category-killing Hostile Grape wine cellar at M Resort, with 100 selections.
