Chef Louis Osteen's Fish Camp Opens at Town Square
Another new dining spot had its VIP Grand Opening on the same evening as Company American Bistro. Fish Camp, located in Town Square on the south end of the strip is the second restaurant James Beard award winning Chef Louis Osteen has opened in Las Vegas, just across the way from his first, Louis’s Las Vegas. Recognized for the revival of southern fare on a national level, Chef Osteen introduces that flavorful and hearty flair flare to Las Vegas by offering upscale and updated renditions of authentic, impeccably prepared, low-country Southern dishes like you’d find in South Carolina.

While Louis’ is a more elegant, intimate 70 seat restaurant with an open air patio, Fish Camp accommodates up to 350 in a more casual, boisterous, environment that is decorated with over a hundred crab pot buoys suspended from the ceiling, a bourbon bar called Zelda’s and live music presented on Friday and Saturday nights.

Some of the regional dishes served up at Shrimp Camp includes Charleston She Crab Soup; SC’s finest: Shrimp and Grits, Pan Fried Whole Baby Flounder with lemon butter and capers; and Louis’s very special Oyster BLT. The menu also includes bar snacks, appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, desserts, plus an extensive wine list. During my visit the Chef was kind enough to make my husband and myself a “Proper vegetarian plate” that customers can order from the menu that consists of sweet potato gratin, wild mushrooms, split creek goat’s cheese and stone ground grits. It was satisfying and delicious and we can’t wait to go back for seconds.
Louis’ Fish Camp is located at Building N in Town Square, 6605 Las Vegas Blvd. South and can be reached at (702) 463-000. Hours are 11 am to 11 p.m seven days a week.
