| - It is a shame that we had to go all the way to Las Vegas to be able to eat at the Boiling Crab on a weekend night without having to wait 2+ hours to be seated. In Los Angeles the Boiling Crab is crazy popular, and is always packed. Apparently the Boiling Crab has not received the hype in Las Vegas that it has in Los Angeles. However, I do feel that the hype is deserved because the food here is just that good!
We arrive to this Boiling Crab last Friday night after spending the whole afternoon driving from LA. When we pulled up I jumped out of the car to put our group's name down on the wait list while the others parked. I was shocked when I entered to find no line, and no one waiting. I asked the hostess how long the wait was, and she told me "10 minutes." I responded in disbelief with an "excuse me, did you say 10 minutes?!" After getting over the shock of there being no wait, I headed to the restroom since I had been sitting in a car for hours. By the time I got back, my group was already seated! I was AMAZED!
This Boiling Crab location has the same look as the other ones I have been to in LA, but is just bigger...MUCH bigger. This probably contributes to the wait not being as long here. The food was identical to what I have had at the LA locations. Since I have loved the food at the Boiling Crab, I loved the food here as well. My wife and I split orders of king crab legs, shrimp, sausage and potatoes. We typically go with the THE WHOLE SHA-BANG seasoning with everything, but changed it up and had the Rajun Cajun with the shrimp, sausage and potatoes. The Rajun Cajun was good, but it was no WHOLE SHA-BANG. Truthfully, we just didn't want to overdo the garlic while we were in Vegas, but next time we will go back to what we typically order.
Eating at the Las Vegas Boiling Crab was the best experience I have ever had at a Boiling Crab. Not having to wait or deal with pushy people waiting in line made dining here what eating out should be about, the food! If I could, I would give this place more than 5 stars. Since Yelp won't let me do that, I will say that this Boiling Crab is a must visit place if you are in Las Vegas.
