| - Living and visiting Las Vegas I try to stop by The Oyster Bar at Palace Station Casino to get some of that delicious Pan Roast or Seafood Gumbo. I try to explain to people what the food is like and until you actually go and taste it you really can't get the goodness in words.
Here is a photo from last time I was there: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeremyandrews/4826303270/in/set-72157624570150854/
This place is often imitated in Las Vegas, and I have tried some of the imitators and they can't get the flavor and experience down right. The Oyster Bar is not a high-end looking place or a restaurant per se, more of a cut out in the wall right off the casino. I like that it is in Palace Station, because if it was in a high traffic casino on the strip the line would be way too long. Plus, it is good to enjoy the old school casinos and take a break from the fake, and expensive ones on the strip (may just be me from living there so long).
If you go around lunch or dinner expect a wait because there is only like 20 seats which are high chairs around the Oyster Bar. You sit right next to other people, which is good for striking up conversation and talking about the good food you are eating. The cooks prepare everything right in front of you which is fun to watch and gets your appetite going.
My favorite thing to order is the Combo Lobster and Oyster Pan Roast which is served in a sweet and spicy tomato bisque sauce. I usually substitute the scoop of rice that is served with it and get linguine pasta instead. The highlight is the sauce and how they cook it in those steam pots, so if Lobster and Oysters are not your thing, add something else like shrimp or something, whatever you get, the tomato bisque will be GOOD! My second favorite dish there is the Seafood Gumbo which is served with a scoop of white rice, so many good flavors and tastes going on.
These are good sized portions so be prepared for a doggy bag. On the other hand, if you came to eat, enjoy some appetizers like Oysters on the shell (be sure to view a few before ordering, it's Vegas after all, and note the season you are in), shrimp cocktails, and I usually go for the Caesar Salad (nothing special, but tasty). There is also deserts available. Soft Drinks, Draft & Bottled Beer, and Wine too.
I seriously dream about this food from the Oyster Bar when I am not in Las Vegas, enjoy!
Oh, and they will ask you if you want 1-5 spicy for heat, instead I suggest getting a little heat like 1 or 2 and later just add hot sauce to taste which are available on the bar in front of you. Nothing like having a big bowl of great food but not a good idea to get 5 stars of heat and unbearable to eat.
