It\u2019s pretty well known that Las Vegas is a serious destination for fine dining; what often isn\u2019t considered is how much great wine can be enjoyed here too. Want proof that Vegas is awash in vino, veritas? Well, just last week, Michelin 3-starred Joel Robuchon at MGM Grand<\/a><\/strong> was one of only four restaurants in the world to earn Wine Spectator\u2019s 2009 Grand Award<\/strong>. Well over a dozen certified Master Sommeliers work in Sin City (New York City doesn\u2019t even have half that number). But what\u2019s really remarkable is the number of options wine lovers have in our Las Vegas hotels<\/strong><\/a>, often without even having to experience a fancy meal.<\/p>\n
