You don’t need to head for the coast to find world-class seafood — not when Las Vegas offers an ocean’s worth of options right here in the Mojave. From lobster rolls that steal your heart to sushi so fresh it could’ve just flipped off the boat, these spots bring serious seafood cred to the Strip and beyond. Whether you’re craving caviar, Greek-style grilled fish, or pan roasts at a 24-hour casino bar, this city proves you don’t need a beach to enjoy the bounty of the sea. These are a few of the very best, according to locals who know.
Amalfi by Bobby Flay (Caesars Palace)
Replacing the iconic Mesa Grill at Caesars Palace, Amalfi reflects Bobby Flay’s passion for Italy’s southern coast. At the heart of the experience is a daily seafood “market,” where diners can choose fresh fish prepared simply and elegantly. Signature touches, such as spicy Calabrian chilies, balance heat and flavor, while housemade pastas showcase Flay’s surprising finesse with Italian cuisine. Between the sleek design and vibrant dishes, this reinvention has made a lasting impression on seafood fans and fine-dining regulars alike.
Aqua (Resorts World)
Formerly known as Caviar Bar, Aqua has grown into a broader celebration of ocean flavors by acclaimed chef Shaun Hergatt. The raw bar highlights bluefin toro, Tasmanian ocean trout, and King Crab, while entrees include pristine sea bass and buttery black cod. Caviar remains a star, served traditionally or as an enhancement to other dishes. Recent design tweaks add privacy without sacrificing the restaurant’s casual elegance, making Aqua a comfortable yet sophisticated choice in the heart of Resorts World.
CATCH (Aria)
CATCH combines dramatic presentation with an Asian-accented seafood menu, all wrapped in social media glamour. Enter through a flower-lined tunnel before settling into a space renowned for its pristine sashimi, showstopping whole fish, and elevated desserts, such as the interactive “Hit Me” chocolate cake. Initially launched in L.A. and NYC, this Aria import flies in premium seafood daily, ensuring top-tier quality. Beef lovers won’t feel left out either, with a full menu of steaks (including wagyu) to round out the offerings.
Estiatorio Milos (The Venetian)
One of the city’s finest showcases of Mediterranean seafood, Estiatorio Milos relocated from the Cosmopolitan to The Venetian, featuring expanded amenities such as a raw bar and a Greek yogurt room. Guests can select from a display of fish flown in daily from the Mediterranean, with preparations emphasizing bright, simple flavors. Sashimi, grilled, or salt-baked options showcase the high-quality ingredients, while a $45 three-course lunch and a solid happy hour keep Milos on the radar of both tourists and savvy locals.
Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab (Forum Shops)
A Las Vegas outpost of a Miami legend, Joe’s pairs classic steakhouse ambiance with fresh-from-the-Gulf stone crabs, flown in during peak season. The menu is broad, but seafood remains a standout, especially the grilled platter and crab cakes. For a retro touch, Manhattan-style clam chowder also makes a rare appearance in Vegas. Set within Caesars’ Forum Shops, Joe’s offers polished service and crowd-pleasing fare that blends nostalgia with dependable quality.
Michael Mina (Bellagio)
A Bellagio fixture since 1998, this namesake restaurant blends luxury and legacy. Originally known as Aqua, it introduced diners to Mina’s signature lobster pot pie and caviar parfait, both of which are still on offer. Sustainability now drives the menu, with inventive use of lesser-known fish cuts under the direction of Chef Raj Dixit. With a backdrop that includes the Bellagio Conservatory and a refined dining room, it remains a top pick among fine-dining fans and celebrity chef aficionados alike.
Naxos Taverna (Red Rock)
Bringing the flavors of the Greek Isles to Red Rock Resort, Naxos Taverna delivers an expansive seafood experience through its oyster bar and whole-fish selections. Over two dozen fish options — including Faroe Islands salmon — share space with standout Greek dishes and impressive starters. Thoughtful touches, such as pumpkin and chermoula sauces, kataifi-wrapped prawns, and rich baklava cheesecake, reflect a balance of authenticity and creativity. The result is a vibrant, satisfying gem off the Strip.
Ocean Prime (3716 Las Vegas Blvd. South)
Occupying a prized corner on the Strip, Ocean Prime impresses with a sprawling patio and glamorous supper-club interior. The menu features top-tier seafood flown in daily, such as Chilean sea bass, halibut with lobster gnocchi, and a standout Teriyaki salmon. A sushi selection and custom seafood towers add variety, while the steak program ensures non-seafood eaters are well cared for. Whether you’re sipping cocktails in the lounge or dining al fresco, it’s pure Vegas indulgence.
Other Mama (3655 S. Durango Drive)
Credited with raising the culinary profile of the southwest valley neighborhood surrounding Desert Breeze Park, Other Mama blends fine-dining technique with a laid-back neighborhood vibe. Chef Dan Krohmer’s sushi credentials shine in pristine nigiri and sashimi, but he also offers playful creations like caviar-topped hush puppies and tuna tartare on waffle fries. An expanded lounge makes it easier to snag a seat, but the quality and creativity remain consistently high, making this one of the city’s most beloved seafood haunts.
The Legends Oyster Bar (3220 S. Durango Drive)
Tucked into a strip mall between The Lakes and Summerlin, The Legends Oyster Bar offers high-end seafood in a casual, welcoming space. The gumbo arrives deconstructed with shrimp, crawfish, mussels, and sausage, while fried calamari and raw bar selections set the stage. Chef Jack Jarukasem, formerly of the Rio, brings depth and skill to a wide-ranging menu that includes steamers, chowder, and Cajun-style boils — all in a low-key neighborhood setting with serious culinary chops.
The Oyster Bar (Santa Fe Station)
Often overshadowed by its Palace Station sibling, the Oyster Bar at Santa Fe Station offers the same beloved menu in a larger, more accessible setting. The food — including oysters, pan roasts, and jambalaya — delivers just as much satisfaction, minus the Strip-side crowds. Spacious seating and relaxed service make this a favorite for locals who want the same comfort food classics without the long wait or chaotic atmosphere.
The Oyster Bar (Palace Station)
This tiny 18-seat counter at Palace Station has earned cult status, drawing lines that last for hours. Guests come for the show — watching pan roasts prepared to order — and the flavor, particularly during the $1 oyster hours between 5 and 10 a.m. Open 24/7, it’s a late-night favorite among service industry pros and Vegas regulars. The sense of tradition, camaraderie, and nostalgia is as much a draw as the food itself.
