King crab legs?

who has king crab legs? Not snow crab,but he real deal. Does bellagio buffet have them? I did see that south point had an oyster bar that had 1/12 lbs of them for 22bucks,seemed reasonable. I also scoped out blue agave has a KC cocktail and some other seafood that looked Ok and if i use the 1/2 -%50 coupon seemed ok as well. What other places has anyone been to for KC legs.
Im really interetsed if bellagio has them,if im going to spend that much,id be really pissed if all they had was snow crab,especially that split stuff. (oh yea,,whole crab legs is important to us,not split). We also love whole dungess crabs,anyone evr see them here? I guess i havent done my homework as well as i thought,mine this date sure apprached rather quick HAHA. Thanks!

I like the Wynn Seafood Buffet. Great SPLIT crab and many selections. I think it is the best in Las Vegas.

They used to have and may still have a sign up Buffet deal when you plya about an hour, get so many points anget 2 free buffets.
Wynn and Bellagio both had the "king" legs on our last visit. It has been a couple of years since we ate at the "B" buffet. Hopefully they did not change them. On a bad note, it seems that both had the "split" legs
One of my favorite high end restaurants in L.A. is a seafood restaurant called "The Water Grill". My favorite appetizer was what they called King Crab Leg Nuggets. They would get huge King Crab Legs and instead of cutting them length wise, they would cut off slices. They would serve 12 on ice with sauce. They no longer have them on the menu and the waiter said it was because of the significant price increase in Alaskan King Crab. I don't know if this applies to Vegas also? I stayed one night at the Green Valley Ranch. They had a restaurant with a special for all the snow crab you could eat, but I know that isn't the same as King crab.

The only Bellagio buffet I've been to this year was twice for brunch and both times had split snow crab, but that's OK as they had lots of other great selections like smoked salmon, smoked trout, and once smoked scallops and sea bass.

The MSS seafood buffet tomorrow night will have whole snow crab legs. They are on ice near the salad area and hot on the opposite side in the Chinese area.
a little off topic, ..... but what do you call those fat, little, hard-shelled crab claws ?

TIA, Rick

Thanks.

Those are great too.

Any buffet with them too ?

I think they are actually better than the King Crab Legs.

unfortunately the MSS seafood buffet only serves snow crab legs. No king crab legs. The fremont paradise seafood buffet also serves snow crab legs (no king crab legs) but I like them better because they split the legs open. I think fremont has their seafood buffet on tuesdays and fridays (check their web site for confirmation though). At the MSS you have to get a cracker to open them up so it can get pretty messy.

sorry for not answering the OP's original question (kind crab legs) but just wanted to clarify that the MSS does not serve king crab legs.

Good catch. I was talking about snow crab earlier in my post but was vague when mentioning MSS.

Correct as of last July. I do Fremont on Tuesday and then MSS on Friday.

I used to, but have switched back to preferring the whole ones. The whole ones are a bit more work, but you end up with one big piece of juicy crab. With the split ones I think the meat comes out small and dry.
