The Best Seafood Restaurants in Las Vegas
Whole grilled fish flown in daily on the Strip, stone crab at Caesars, and the off-Strip room locals name first — where to eat seafood in a desert city that does it unreasonably well.
Las Vegas has no coastline and some of the best seafood in the country, because the resorts fly it in daily and the competition on the Strip is brutal. Estiatorio Milos at the Venetian is the benchmark — fish displayed on ice, picked by the pound, grilled whole — and Michael Mina has held its Bellagio room since 2010. The rooms below are the ones that justify the trip, each scored and verified by Dim Hour, with the order that matters at every table.
A note on geography: the Strip rooms sit inside casinos, so the resort matters as much as the address. Off-Strip — Spring Valley, Henderson, the Arts District — is where locals go, and the value is better.
Estiatorio Milos
The Venetian room where the fish is displayed on ice and picked by the pound, then grilled whole. Start with the Milos Special, order the whole grilled branzino, and do not skip the Greek salad. OpenTable.
Michael Mina
Bellagio, and the most technical seafood cooking on the Strip: tuna tartare mixed tableside, the lobster pot pie, a caviar parfait, and whole bass baked in a salt crust. OpenTable.
Pisces
The Wynn Mediterranean seafood room, built on caviar and crudo, dry-aged fish, and cold seafood platters. OpenTable.
Costa di Mare
Italian seafood at the Wynn — whole grilled fish and a deep Italian wine list. The quiet, expensive one. OpenTable.
Other Mama
The off-Strip answer, in Spring Valley, and the one locals name first: oysters Rockefeller, king crab cakes, amberjack crudo, black cod miso. Walk-in — go early.
Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab
Caesars Palace, and the reason is Florida stone crab claws in season, plus a colossal lump crab cake, a bone-in filet for the table, and key lime pie to finish.
Mastro's Ocean Club
Aria — the seafood-and-steakhouse hybrid. The seafood tower, a bone-in filet, and the butter cake everyone photographs. OpenTable.
Main St. Provisions
Arts District, off-Strip, wood-fired: seasonal seafood alongside the steak. OpenTable.
