Wing Lei
Richard Chen won Wing Lei the only Michelin star a Chinese restaurant in Las Vegas has held, and he now cooks at the Fontainebleau.
Why go
Wing Lei is the Wynn's Chinese room. Emmy Kasten splits the menu across Cantonese, Sichuan and Shanghainese, and puts the spending on the duck: The menu is a mix of Cantonese, Sichuan, and Shanghainese dishes, but the real star of the show is the peking duck that's served with traditional accoutrements (including an incredible truffle hoisin sauce) and the most deliciously duck-y consommé we've ever had.
3 Mitsuharu Tsumura of Maido in Lima, the World's 50 Best No. 1 in 2025, ate here after the Wynn's Macau room and called the Peking duck incredible.4 The room took one Michelin star in the guide's 2008 and 2009 Las Vegas editions, and when the guide returned in August 2026 it named Wing Lei among the rooms it recommends in its first American Southwest selection.21
Order this / avoid
- Order: the Peking duck, and plan the rest of dinner around it.3
- Order: the Alaskan king crab salad first, which Kasten calls a light but still luxurious start.3
- Order: the Sichuan beef short ribs for some heat against the duck.3
- Avoid: a table away from the windows if you can help it. Kasten says the best ones look onto the garden.3
What locals & experts say
- Emmy Kasten, The Infatuation Las Vegas:
Wing Lei at the Wynn is one of the best fancy Chinese restaurants in town, and the Fort Knox-level dining room is the most Midas-touched that we've ever seen, even by Vegas standards.
3 - Mitsuharu Tsumura of Maido, Lima, the World's 50 Best No. 1 in 2025:
I've been to the one at Wynn Macau, and [similarly] in Vegas, the Peking duck was incredible. The dim sum was also amazing.
4 - Johnathan L. Wright, Las Vegas Review-Journal, on the 2026 recommendation: Wing Lei was among the ten rooms the city expected to hear called, and he notes it
at one time had a Michelin star.
