Stone Crabs rock! If you like Lobster, you will love Stone Crabs. Price wise, most of the seafood at Joe's will be market price (depending on the time of the year). Dinner for 2 with a bottle of wine should run under $250.

I usually am not a big fan of buffets but I enjoy 2 of them in Vegas (Bellagio and Village Seafood).

If you want to try out crab, lobster, shrimp, and oysters, this is the place. It is pretty expensive $27 for a buffet but worth it.

https://www.harrahs.com/casinos/rio/restaurants-dining/village-seafood-buffet-detail.html


Cuisine: Buffet
Hours: Sun. - Thurs. 4PM-10PM; Fri. - Sat. 3PM-11PM
<!-- Lunch 11AM-3PM; Dinner 5PM-12PM; DAILY -->Cost: $$$

Fresh from the ocean, the seafood on this glorious extravaganza delivers flavor and exceptional taste. The Village Seafood Buffet features all-you-can-eat favorites including lobster, snow crab legs, shrimp, oysters and sushi.

For meat lovers, we offer prime rib, barbecue beef ribs and chicken dishes. Enjoy your fresh seafood with all the accompaniments, including salads, pastas, fresh-baked breads and a full dessert bar

I've been plenty of times - the jumbo crabs are $65 for 4 - which is a dinner - they're big - and they're real good too

Never been to Joe's, even though I am right across the street from the one you are going to at the Forum Shops.
I'm a big fan of McCormick and Schmick's for seafood.
As always Husker, try and stop by if you get a chance to say hi to the Doberman when in town.

Joe's is great..everything is ala carte so you will pay....Dinner for 2 both eating Jumbo or Large Claws with a Salad and Vegtable will run you 175.00 to 200.00 depending on Market.....I love them with a nice Mustard sauce

she would never eat them lolol....i will try them...they have petite filet with the stone crabs dinner for 50 so ill probably get that so at worst if i dont enjoy them ill at least enjoy the steak....i dont understand the whole mustard thing, i read they were served with that mustard sauce, that was part of the reason i asked the question...being sorta a seafood guy, im big into the butter with lobster and steamers and even shrimp scampi...dont understand the mustard but i guess ill find out...
