Seafood Shack, Las Vegas

Just off the path from the bustling tropical revelries and loot-filled gaming at Treasure Island Hotel & Casino stands the Seafood Shack, a succulent destination where diners sink their teeth into freshly caught bites of the sea itself. Known for its signature clambake—which combines steamed clams, mussels, prawns, and a whole lobster into a two-person feast—the restaurant also plates massive breaded shrimp and flaky fillets that grace plates alongside fresh vegetables and finely tuned sauces. After a warm chowder or grilled salmon, diners can indulge in one of five homemade desserts including a chocolate layer cake with fudge icing and a trio of tropical sorbets. Patrons wanting to stay a part of the action can also relax at an open bar area that overlooks the casino floor, where machines ring in jackpots and dealers fold unused decks into 52 paper cranes.
