| - I'd been craving BBQ since I knew the Carnie Crew was gearing up for a field trip, and the last place I would've guessed that had it was Vegas. Technically, this is Henderson, but it's about 10 min east of the airport.
Located in what seems like a fairly new outdoor shopping area, Lucille's is huge and service is absolutely top notch. The portions looked huge, so come with an appetite.
I ordered a bowl of the gumbo, which had a nice, smoky roux. The roux is usually the tell-tale sign of a good gumbo, and while it was not down-home, hole in the wall NOLA good, it was unexpectedly great. I enjoyed it and found the ratio of shrimp, chicken and sausage to be more than adequate. The gumbo is served over a bed of rice, so it's almost a meal in itself. For a Yelper, though? BRING MORE FOOD! So, with that, I ordered the Tri Tip Plate from the kids menu, which comes with a side of fries and mac & cheese. I stuck with the meat, which was tender, moist, and nicely smoked.
Great place for two or groups and parking wasn't too bad.
