The Capital of Kitsch is shedding its vulgar veneer to become the latest draw for wine lovers.

Las Vegas is probably the last place you would consider as a fine wine destination. But forget, for a moment, the one-armed bandits, the roulette wheels and the walk-in-waddle-out buffets, because Sin City – also known as the Capital of Kitsch – is rapidly shedding (some of) its vulgar veneer to become the latest draw for wine lovers.

The vinous facts and figures of Vegas are impressive. It has the greatest concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants in the world – 16 within a few hundred yards of each other, sharing 21 stars – and the highest number of Master Sommeliers. More bottles of Dom Pérignon and Cristal (real and fake) are consumed here than anywhere else. The Bellagio resort hotel alone gets through almost 50 (real) bottles of DP a week, on top of about 230 bottles of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label, while the 100,000-bottle cellar of Wynn Las Vegas is home to several (real) methuselahs of 1990 Cristal (yours for a trifling $50,000 – £34,000 – each).

From Cher to Peepshow, Phantom, Jersey Boys, and LOVE, Las Vegas truly is a world of entertainment.

Sin isn't just kept behind closed doors in Sin City, as any visitor to Las Vegas knows.
