| - I'm a fan alright!!!!
So moms and I had our last dinner before my gfs and I had to head back to OC . She was all about coming here. My gf's not so much until one of them read the menu after we already got there and she wished she came with us after all, Oy Vey LOL.
So I'm not a Vegas visitor nor a visitor of Nevada period. Not like I'm a hater, just don't have the opportunity much to do so. So casinos are still new to me and trying to find this place was a bit annoying. My fault for not parking in the right place, but we wouldn't have known anyway since this was our first visit and reviews didn't really tell us where to go. So I'd say, park by the 24 hour café entrance you'll see a sign on where to go from there. So after scaling half the casino, we finally found it following the signs. We walk up and it states seat yourself but the tables were either sat in or needed busing. So then we saw the bar which we originally wanted to sit in but they would only have one seat available or tops needing to be cleaned. I said let me see and we turned a slight corner and there were two tops at the bar, I just couldn't see them until I walked around. I kinda wish they had a hostess stand to eliminate the confusion blah.
So I went in and turned the corner to see if there were two bar chairs open and yes there was, I guess they couldn't be seen by this obstructed view. Once seated the chef/server came by and asked for our drink orders. He was nice and sweet ,even hooked me up when I took an order of chowder home for my sister, charged me for a cup instead of a bowl :) Thanks boo. I ordered a cosmo and he made it. I don't think he's up on the girly drinks but it was good nonetheless :p We started with cups of clam chowder. The soup came out reasonably fast and extremely fresh and hot. First taste and e were in love. This was the classic clam chowder we were looking for . The consistency was thick and creamy. A nice balance of clams and potato. This was beyond good and my mother and I knew my sister would love it! Only thing that bummed us out was the lack of oyster crackers!!!! How do ya'll not have oyster crackers on deck!!!!!! I mean its a staple with clam chowder! It's ok, the clam chowder tasted so great all was forgiven :p We also ordered little neck clams and those were bountiful. The clams were great, the broth was a bit bland and a bit tooooo citrus in taste. I bet the next day it would be better.
At first we were going to get our own dishes but the portions are HUGE, so we shared a shrimp boil. This dish is SPICY and if you take it home for leftovers, it will be super SPICY the next day and I'm so surprised my mother was able to eat them the following day. Lots of shrimp, Andouille sausage , corn on the cob and my mom's favorite okra. I would have loved a side of rice .Again super fresh ingredients and overall a solid dish. I ordered this for her so I was willing to sacrifice what I wanted since I know driving a seafood dish back to cali the next day would not be ideal . My mom was happy and satisfied.
We were very happy when we left and we also had killer luck on the slots afterwards. I will definitely come back without a doubt!
