Las Vegas Seafood Roundup

Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, globally renowned for his Japanese and Peruvian fusion cuisine, has several restaurants and hotels bearing his name around the world. Caesars Palace is the only U.S.-based Nobu to feature teppanyaki tables. Fresh seafood options include lobster ceviche, octopus or crab sunomono (Japanese cucumber salad), and a vast array of sushi and sashimi options. Try opulent oceanic fare like melt-in-your-mouth sea urchin or Bluefin Toro (tuna belly).

Aria Resort and Casino's Catch attracts seafood lovers from both coasts. Try their most luxurious signature dish: truffle sashimi with tuna, hamachi, chili oil, ponzu, caviar, and black truffles. Those that come hungry should order the 2.5-pound Cantonese lobster made with sake, oyster sauce, scallions, and garlic.

Boathouse Asian Eatery is a casual dining option inside the Palace Station Casino. The creative dishes will satisfy every palate without breaking the bank. Try the Instagram-worthy spicy crab and tuna tacos that come topped with avocado and spicy Thai aioli in a fried wonton shell. "The Golden Eye," the Boathouse's dressed up version of oysters on the half shell, features sea urchin, salmon roe, 2 kinds of tobiko, and yuzu ponzu. It's almost too pretty to eat. Almost.

Get down and dirty with your seafood feast at Hot N Juicy Crawfish located in the Planet Hollywood Hotel. Order peel-and-eat crawfish, shrimp, mussels, and crab by the pound or keep your hands a little cleaner with a po'boy sandwich. Round out the finger-licking Cajun spread with a bowl of etouffee.

Chef Mark LoRusso brings authentic coastal Italian cuisine to Las Vegas at The Wynn Hotel. The a la carte menu is bursting with mouth-watering seafood options, but the Gran Tasting Menu may be the best way to sample a little of everything. Start with sea scallops over soft polenta in a caviar sauce before moving on to handmade ink pasta with cuttlefish, shrimp, and lobster. The main event is a whole roasted Meditteranean fish. Wine pairings are available.
