Wing Lei at Wynn Las Vegas

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Historic First on the Las Vegas Strip

Wing Lei holds a distinction that no other restaurant on the continent can claim: it was the first Chinese restaurant in North America to earn a Michelin star. Inside Wynn Las Vegas, it has since added a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating to its name — recognition that reflects both the kitchen's precision and a level of hospitality that is genuinely rare on the Strip.

The Room

The dining room draws its design from classical Chinese jewel boxes, finished in rich red, jade, white, and gold. Larger-than-life gold vases flank the bar, where a backlit liquor display creates something close to a regal backdrop. The best seats in the house line the windows, which look out onto century-old pomegranate trees — a quiet, almost surreal contrast to the boulevard outside. Condé Nast Traveler called it the place to celebrate a special event in style, and the setting makes that easy to believe.

The Food and the Cellar

The menu moves across three distinct Chinese traditions — Cantonese, Shanghai, and Szechuan — each rendered with fine-dining discipline. Two dishes have become signatures: the tableside-carved Imperial Peking duck, which Condé Nast Traveler named a must-have, and wok-fried Maine lobster. Vegetarian options are available throughout the menu as well.

Sommelier Diego Vasquez oversees a cellar of more than 1,000 bottles across 550 selections. His familiarity with the nuances of Chinese cuisine means the pairing conversation is worth having, whatever you order.

The Service

Forbes Travel Guide notes that once you give your name at the door, the staff will use it throughout the evening — a small detail that signals the broader standard of attention here. The service is described simply as impeccable, and the Five-Star designation backs that up. Group dining is also available, with private rooms and custom menus arranged in partnership with the events team.
