My friends took to me to Shucks when I got to Vegas. We wanted to avoid the strip since everything was overpriced an crowded. I've heard great reviews from them, for the fresh crab and awesome fries. They were not kidding.
We started off starving, and decided to order the waffle cut fries. They were soooooooooooooo good. I love fries that we are crunchy on the outside and soft and gooey in the inside. I would go back just for the fries. Then we had the clam bake for 4. There were only 3 of us and we ate everything! It was good. The king crab was kind of bland, but the dungeness was good and fresh.
I was sad to see the last crab leg go, but boy was this a good place.
