A Shellfish Lover's Guide to Vegas

1 - A Shellfish Lover's Guide to Vegas
Chef Maloney’s fish soup at Aquaknox

American Fish
Inspired by America’s great lakes, rivers, and coasts, Michael Mina puts a contemporary twist on classic cuisine with four cooking styles: salt baking, wood grilling, cast-iron griddling, and ocean-water poaching. Recent dishes include the diver scallops and Hudson Valley foie gras, as well as heirloom-tomato soup with lobster grilled cheese. Aria Resort & Casino, 877- 230-2742

Aquaknox
Specializing in “global water cuisine,” Tom Moloney presents mouthwatering seafood dishes like Maine lobster bisque, wild Alaskan halibut, and New Zealand John Dory. Share the Aquaknox Plateau of fresh shellfish delicacies like Pacific prawns and crab claws, plus ceviche and sake oyster shooters. The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, 702-414-3772; aquaknox.net

Bartolotta, Ristorante Di Mare
Thanks to Paul Bartolotta’s relationships with overseas fish markets, this 2012 Forbes four-star restaurant at Wynn offers rare Mantis shrimp; Mediterranean blue rock, Sicilian, and Algerian slipper lobsters; and baby soft-shell, brown, and spider crabs. Bartolotta offers more than 50 species of fish on any given night. Wynn Las Vegas, 702-248-3463

Chart House
Dine beside the spectacular 75,000-gallon aquarium centerpiece at Chart House, one of the few places in town where you can have an “under the sea” experience. Its beautifully presented dishes include miso-maple- glazed salmon with prosciutto, and macadamia-crusted mahi with peanut sauce, Frangelico liqueur, mango relish, and soy glaze. Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino, 702-386-8364

Estiatorio Milos
Greek and Mediterranean flavors highlight the posh menu selection at Milos, where buying fish by the pound proves the ultimate luxury. Special dishes from the stunning raw bar include a tasting of five raw fishes prepared in delicious and diverse ways. If it’s not too hot, eat on the one-of-a-kind terrace—and don’t skip lunch: The three-course $20.12 meal is one of the best deals in town. The Cosmopolitan, 702-698- 7000

Fin
Fin’s marvelous curtains of bubbled glass beads give off an oceanic feel, perfect décor for a dinner from the sea. Choose from the restaurant’s daily seafood selection, and sample the ever-popular braised scallops with sweet yet spicy chili sauce, alongside the seafood lo mein. The Mirage Hotel & Casino, 866-339-4566

Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab
Miami’s (then Chicago’s) legendary Joe’s offers an amazing array of stone crab, right here in Las Vegas. Experience tableside service featuring Dover sole and jumbo Alaskan king crab legs, or a fisherman’s platter with shrimp, scallops, calamari, and cod, served fried or grilled. The Forum Shops at Caesars, 702-792-9222

Mastro’s Ocean Club
Located in a beehive-like structure in the middle of Crystals, Mastro’s Ocean Club would be a foodie destination even if it weren’t surrounded by some of the best shopping in town. Get the most bang for your buck with its signature seafood tower, which lets diners build their own meal from the finest selections. Finish the night with another specialty: warm butter cake. Then enjoy cocktails at the piano bar until 1 a.m. Crystals, CityCenter, 702-798-7115

RM Seafood
Take a trip around the world with Rick Moonen at RM Seafood, where global flavors infuse every dish. Dine upstairs for the extravagant seven-course prix-fixe menu. On the more casual first floor, indulge in a variety of shellfish samplers and sushi, as well as entrée favorites, including RM-style cioppino. Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, 702-632-9300
