| - We've been going to Shuck's for the last 10 years whenever we visit Las Vegas. We always leave stuffed and happy. The bar is great, and we enjoyed the excellent selection of draft beers.
Their clambake is fantastic, feeding two people generously for around $26. Everything is steamed together in a pleasantly spiced broth: a pound of small clams, lots of Dungeness crab and snow crab, a long split leg of king crab, plus quartered red potatoes and two coblets of corn. The Dungeness crab was fantastic, and the snow crab some of the best I've ever had. Ask for a spoon so you don't waste the broth; it's great on the potatoes.
We've also recently eaten the seafood bisque, nicely spiced and very tasty; the linguini with clams in white sauce, delicious and extremely generous with probably a pound of clams in the shell atop a huge portion of well-cooked pasta; and oysters Rockefeller, stunning with a squeeze of lemon to bring out the tastes.
Shuck's has a good selection of seafood, pastas, oysters served raw or cooked, burgers, breakfasts, and more. It's a great place to go when you want to get away from the hubbub and crowds. It's open 24/7 and is well worth the trip.
