Marché Bucchus

This romantic French bistro is located beyond an extensive wine cellar and features a gorgeous lake view. This hidden gem has an incredible ambiance that you would never expect by the typical commercial center store front.

Rest assured, the dining experience at Marché Bacchus is anything but typical. When the weather permits, I have always preferred to dine on their patio and with a breathtaking view of Lake Jacqueline, who in their right mind would not?

The patio feels alive with vine-covered lattice, graceful swimming swans and if you’re lucky, a family of turtles known to rest on rocks along the lake shore will visit your patio table. This Summerlin hideaway offers some of the finest wines, an outdoor fireplace, familiar faces, and outstanding customer service.

I have often envisioned a lovely wedding reception at this location and have confirmed that many do take place at Marché Bacchus with the assistance of a wedding planner.
The food selection is top-notch! Chef de Cuisine, Jose Aleman, Chef Alex Stratta, and award winning pastry Chef Megan Romano provide a delicious menu.

One of my personal favorite lunch menu items is the lobster salad croissant sandwich with tomato, avocado and tarragon citrus aioli ($12) and for dinner recommended is the red wine braised beef with candied shallots and butter whipped potatoes ($27) which goes great with a bottle of Anderson’s Conn Valley Right Bank 2010 ($44.99), accurately described by Antonio Galloni of Vinous Media as “a pretty wine laced with small red fruits, flowers, licorice and spices.”

La Cave

Tucked away in the Wynn Las Vegas, this beautiful wine cave serves savory small plates by Chef Billy DeMarco and features a wine list so extensive, it might feel like the options are endless. This 3,000 square foot wine and food hideaway provides three distinct environments - the main dining room, the “Garden Room” and an area called the “cellar.”

The Sunday Brunch is absolutely divine with endless butler-style table side items such as Eggs Benedict with your choice of Chorizo, Canadian Bacon or Filet, Mushroom Grits, Angus Mini Burgers and the list goes on from there. Additionally, for only $20, you can enjoy endless drinks from the Bottomless Brunch Cocktails menu including mimosas, caipirinhas, sangria and more. The brunch is from 10:30am to 2:30pm costing $48 for adults and $28 for children (under 12).

When dining at La Cave, I prefer sitting on the patio which has a delightful view of the Wynn gardens and pool. As far as the food, you really can’t go wrong. The menu is separated into several sections such as; from the sea, farm, grill and oven. For a quick bite, I enjoy a flatbread with Chicken, Thai Basil, Sweet and Sour Chili and a Garlic Aioli ($17). For something more substantial, I would order the Beef Filet Crostini topped with caramelized Blue Cheese, a port wine reduction and a truffle cream sauce ($21) with perhaps a bottle of the Heitz Napa Cabernet ($178), which is also available by the glass.

La Cave is located off the main casino floor next to the Terrace Point Café on your way to Wynn’s beautiful golf course.
