We, too, got psyched by the name brand hype- but hand-held techno-toys and Cirque du Soleil wanna be's does not compensate for lack of a solid program or foundation- or the ability to be civil. What is lacking is depth, both in terms of the vintages available on the list as well as maturity of the senior wine staff. Granted, this is Vegas and by history and reputation, it's glitz. However, not all of us arrive looking for the single most expensive bottle of "bubbly". If you come expecting staff to collaborate with you to determine your tastes and interests with respect to the list, then forget it....Unfortunately, they don't keep the showboats on stage..The better staff are actually the "junior" members, in terms of their ability to relate. My recommendation is to go elsewhere for serious wine exploration, unless all you want is superficial show.
