Nice experience good place. Las Vegas is the biggest rip off hole $$$$. From a city that I used to love as a young adult, I grew to hate as a business guy. The only reason why I would come trade shows. I would never consider taking a vacation in this city. Bubba Gump is fun food's good. I would be curious to see the pricing and other Bubba Gump locations. I'm sure Las Vegas has special upticked pricing.

As a LSC member this location didn't disappoint. Greeted kindly upon entrance and seated immediately. Restaurant was large, clean and of course perfectly themed to Bubba Gump. They have some new seasonal food items and drinks. Had the Jenny's lemonade. It's a sweet and refreshing drink and you get the glass as a souvenir. Started with the gumbo and it was hot and delicious and full of meat. My son had the clam chowder and it was good too. We both had the shrimp scampi and we enjoyed it. Love the garlic grilled toast. This location is everything you expect from the Bubba chain. Nice place to go a fun and budget friendly dinner on the strip. It's located directly on the strip.

Bubba Gump outdoor patio provides a great view of the Las Vegas Strip. Plenty of indoor seating too. There is no nearby parking. Best bet is fork out the $25 fee at Paris and park there. Its a semi short walk. We ordered an appetizer plate with everything, 2 chicken sandwiches and 2 alcoholic drinks. The bill was just under $100. Menu consists of shrimp, steak, chicken, sakads, etc. Its mostly shrimp. Service was friendly. Food was good.

Me and some coworkers were on a work trip and decided to come here for lunch (we were all craving seafood). When you walk in, there's a small corner store at the entrance and you have to take the stairs or elevator up to the actual dining area. The atmosphere inside was fisherman themed and cozy. You can tell it was a touristy restaurant, but it was clean and we were seated immediately. Our waitress was Polly and she was such a doll! She was so friendly, sassy, sweet, funny, and quick with our orders! She made sure all of our food was correct and checked up on us often! She was outstanding and we were taken care of! The menu was mostly seafood items but they did have steak, chicken, salads, and other sides. My coworkers all had seafood and everyone loved their entrees. I had the following: New England clam chowder: 6/10 - it was pretty hearty but a little salty. The crackers did help with the saltiness. There were clams in the chowder but they were very small chunks and the flavor wasn't prominent. I do love the chunks of potatoes and the richness of the chowder though. Crab and shrimp rolls with fries: 8.5/10 - the crab and shrimp rolls were stuffed with a cold and refreshing crab/shrimp filling with paprika and green onions that was delicious! You get four small but filling rolls! The rolls were toasted perfectly with a nice layer of butter. When I bit into the rolls, the first taste was the delicious crab/shrimp filling. And then you get hit with the warm, buttery, and crispy toast. I squeezed some lemon and added some hot sauce and it brought out the richness of the filling. It was so good that I finished all four rolls! At first glance you might think there's not much filling but after the first bite, you see that it's fully stuffed! I enjoyed each bite! They don't skimp out on the filling! The fries were crispy, warm, and not overcooked. It had that distinct crisp when I bit into it. I'm a French fry snob and I can say that these fries were pretty good. Not the best, but hits the spot. Taking a star because the prices were expensive. At $24.99 for one entree, is pretty steep. Overall, I would come back again but only on special occasions as it's pricey.

Came here with some friends for a post show snack and drink as it was easy to walk in and they don't have one near them but enjoy the food. It had been years since I'd been to a bubba gumps but was happy to see that it was the same old place! I only got a shrimp appetizer but it was pretty tasty and the lava rum drink was tasty (almost like an alcoholic smoothie!). Our service was great as we had a large party, all the food was correct and it came out hot. Everyone was happy with their food and ranged from the Po'Boy to the shrimpers heaven. Cocktails were strong and actually somewhat reasonable for a strip restaurant. Overall a great experience for a quick bite!

This review will focus solely for their NYE Las Vegas Party 2024. I went solo for NYE this year (well I suppose it's now last year) While there's a lot of options for Vegas, I prefer less crowds (so no clubs), a great spot to view the fireworks, and decent price. Bubba Gump Shrimp NYE party is IT! Single ticket is right under $200 which seems to be a great price considering what you get. Note event starts at 9pm and ends at 1am. Since I was going solo, there was a chance I may need to share a table with someone else. There was only one minor hiccup and I should have known. I went and got my wristband around 7pm (when they started shutting down the strip) but the escalator was still opened. Well guess what? By the time I went back by 9pm, they've completely shutdown all pedestrian bridges. There's a reason for this as the new law (Jan 2024) prohibited standing or stopping on bridges now. So I get it why they needed to shut it down otherwise peeps will camp out to watch the fireworks on bridges which technically are illegal and they would have to fine everyone.. So the dilemma is to get back up to Bubba.. I had to ask around and security finally pointed me the right direction (past the bridge near mc'd around the corner, see photo) Once they escort you via the elevator, you'll be back at Bubba and now the party can get started! First thing first, they handed out the goodie bag then you can get your free shirt, there are some stairs to go up so keep that in mind. Staff was ready to hand out drinks right away, the only confusion I had was table assignment. If you're in a group, they will reserve a table for you. But since I was solo, I had to find a table that's not reserved. There's some (2 chairs) table, I planted myself one near the end corner (across from the restrooms) I noticed later there's some more tables (2 chairs) outside in the balcony as well. By the time I got there there's already a lot of people there as the line for the buffet was extremely long. I waited a bit before grabbing food. Luckily servers came by to drop off those delicious fried shrimps. By the time I was done, I lost count how many shrimps I ate. As for music, DJ was playing mainly 80's since that's the theme, also note most of the staff were in costumes and extremely friendly and fun! Some staff were dancing near the end. Once I started to explore a bit, they have plenty of heat lamps outside in the balcony, they also have this portable 360 photo/video booth to keep people entertain. Note the balcony is great to people watch (that's what I love doing) so I planted myself there most of the night (yes there's limited space so make sure you grab your drinks, warm jacket, and glue yourself to a heat lamp) The only gripe I have is the view for the Aria fireworks are blocked by a sign (see photo) Luckily, to your left you can see the fireworks from MGM. To your right, it's Bellagio, and IMO the fireworks seem better there. And did I mention you can also catch the fountain shows? And yes they also handed out champagne, I stayed till they started playing the last song, figured it was time to go then. Definitely plan to be here again next year, thank you for all the staff to create this amazing party!
