Alex, the eponymous restaurant of chef Alessandro "Alex" Stratta at Wynn Las Vegas, recently received the coveted 2010 Grand Award from Wine Spectator magazine.
Alex joins an elite group of 75 dining establishments around the world to receive the Grand Award, the magazine's highest honor.
Since opening inside Wynn Las Vegas in 2005, Alex has been a two-time recipient of two Michelin stars and has been repeatedly awarded five stars by the Forbes Travel Guide.
Stratta's dishes reflect the changing seasons and continuously capture the essence of classic French Riviera cuisine.
To complement Stratta's menu, Danielle Price, the executive wine director of Wynn Resorts, worked with master sommelier Paolo Barbieri to create a diverse wine list featuring 2,200 selections from some the world's finest producers.
On Oct. 30, Price, Barbieri and the Alex beverage team will be recognized along with fellow winners at the New World Wine Experience Grand Awards Banquet in Las Vegas. Wine Spectator selects restaurants based on their wine lists in addition to outstanding food, service and ambience.
