LVA Question of the Day - 12 OCT 2011

LVA Question of the Day - 12 OCT 2011

Q: While looking into music I remembered from the 1960s, I
learned that Bobbie Gentry who sang "Ode To Billy Joe" was
briefly married to Bill Harrah. This seems to be an odd
pairing - what can you tell us about it?

Anyone have a favorite? I'd like all you can eat and if they take the LVA coupons that would be a real bonus.

Recently, I've been going to one of these for my AYCE crab leg fix:

TIDES OYSTER BAR AT GREEN VALLEY RANCH - All you can eat, served hot,
$25 plus a drink.
STUDIO B BUFFET AT M RESORT (Fri, Sat, & Sun) - All you can eat,
served hot or cold, $30.
VILLAGE SEAFOOD BUFFET AT RIO - All you can eat, served hot or cold,
$40 (or $30 with Local ID & Total Rewards Card shown at register).
THE BUFFET AT ARIA - All you can eat, served cold, but they will
steam them by request. Went on Sunday, but not sure if they have
them other days or what the current pricing is. I think we paid $36
or so?

I used to go to the Feast Buffet at Santa Fe when they had all you
can eat hot crab legs on their Friday seafood nights, but those are
long gone, and I don't think I've set foot in there since. :frowning: I did
enjoy it, though, as it was a great use of my points!

I'd like to know if anyone else has any favourites, along with
whether they are served hot or cold and the price.

Bellagio - about $36 for dinner buffet. Choice of either king or snow crabs. Served cold but you can get them heated if you ask. Also, best creme brulee I have tasted at a Vegas buffet.

Another king crab place is the Southpoint seafood restaurant. Last time (1 year) I was there, I got 1 1/2 lbs for about $16.

Re King versus snow crabs, I recall that the Village buffet was snow crab only. What about GVR, M, and Aria - king or snow?

On the wild side - Check out the place (I think called hot n juicy) on Spring Mountain Road. Bare bones restaurant that specializes in crayfish (mild to hot hot) and draft beer. The Spring Mountain Road oriental restaurants is the main reason I get a rental car on my Vegas trips.

You are correct - The Village Seafood Buffet at the Rio had only snow
crab available.

The AYCE at GVR's Tides Oyster Bar and the Studio B Buffet at M also
have only snow crab.

Aria's Buffet had both king and snow crab legs, served cold by
default. However, you can ask the people behind the crab legs at the
buffet, and they will take your plate of cold crab legs, put them in
the steamer, and return them to you nice and hot!!

At the Bellagio, how does it work to get the crab legs heated up.

That reminds me, the Wynn Buffet also serves crab legs cold. But,
you can take your plate over to the grill and they will heat them for
you. The last four times I've been to the Buffet at the Wynn,
they've had snow crab legs twice and king crab legs twice. They used
to have WONDERFUL meaty king crab legs, but they keep getting more
and more anemic on recent visits, or as I mentioned, turning into
snow legs instead. Any recent reports?

Re Bellagio,
(1) fill up your plate with the crab legs
(2) take them to the station wher they serve mussels
(3) ask one of the attendants to heat them up
(4) wait about 5 or so minutes
(5) Enjoy !!!!!!

I will be in LV in mid November and definitely have crab legs at least 3 times. :slight_smile:
