Las Vegas is officially returning to the Michelin Guide in 2026 — and this time, we’re giving the local perspective.
In this episode of the Just Juice Wine Podcast, we break down what Michelin’s return really means for Las Vegas, which restaurants we believe deserve Michelin stars (especially off the Strip), and how wine programs factor into earning 1, 2, or 3 stars.
We talk about:
– Which off-Strip restaurants locals already know are star-worthy
– How Michelin actually evaluates restaurants in a city like Vegas
– What makes a wine list Michelin-worthy (and what doesn’t)
– Different philosophies behind curating wine lists at top restaurants
– Whether Vegas could see new 2- or 3-star restaurants
