Romanza

Walking into Romanza, the wine list lands with some real weight — 150-plus bottles in a casino hotel restaurant is not a given, and they've clearly put thought into leaning Italian. The room is opulent in that Vegas-adjacent way, which usually signals a list more interested in trophy bottles than actual value, and that instinct isn't entirely wrong here.

The Italian anchor is genuine: Tuscany gets proper attention, and the presence of Antinori's Tignanello signals someone with actual taste made at least a few selections. That said, the California section leans on familiar names — Caymus and Stag's Leap aren't exactly adventurous picks, though they'll keep the table happy. The list has breadth but not a lot of depth outside the expected regions, and you won't find much in the way of Southern Italian, Piedmontese, or anything that requires explanation. It's a wine list that respects Italian cuisine without fully committing to exploring it.

The by-the-glass program runs 15 to 25 options, which is a reasonable spread for a restaurant of this size and setting. Meiomi Pinot Noir showing up on the glass list tells you the program is calibrated for casual casino diners more than wine enthusiasts — it's approachable, but it's not inspiring. Rotation appears minimal; this feels like a list that gets reviewed annually, not seasonally.
