Booking on Airbnb only. Some vacation dinners should be loud, messy and hands-on. If your group at Lucky Villa, our six-bedroom home near the Strip, is in the mood for a seafood boil, Cap't Loui Summerlin is worth a look. Here's a quick guide to why it's popular, what to order, and how to plan for a big group. ## Why go Cap't Loui has been serving Cajun seafood boils since 2016. Its own tagline sums up the experience: boils that are "loud, messy, and unforgettable." The Summerlin location is at 9430 W Sahara Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89117, on the west side of town. It's a casual spot where you roll up your sleeves, put on a bib and dig in. ## Why I love it Honestly, this is the most delicious Cajun I've had. It's in Summerlin, about 15 minutes from the Strip, and the plaza isn't busy, so you usually don't need to wait. The whole vibe is very chill. Prices are very reasonable for off-Strip dining, too. What makes it special to me is the mix. Cap't Loui is a Boston-born brand with an Asian touch: the kitchen and staff bring a real finesse to every bag. You get Southern boldness, Boston precision and Asian refinement all at the same table. It's a great choice for a family meal or a get-together with a group of friends. ## What to order **A seafood boil, built your way.** The Boiler is the core of the menu. You build it in three steps: 1. **Pick your protein.** Choices include Dungeness crab, lobster or lobster tail, king crab legs, snow crab legs, crawfish, clams, mussels, and shrimp with the head on or off. 2. **Sauce it up.** Choose a house sauce, such as the Cap't Loui Lemon Pepper. 3. **Choose your heat.** Spice levels run from Mild and Medium through Hot, X-Hot and 2X-Hot to Inferno. Every boil comes with corn and potato. **Garlic noodles.** This is one of the most popular sides on the menu, and it's great for soaking up extra sauce from the bag. **Other sides.** Sausage, garlic bread, fries, broccoli, steamed rice and boiled eggs are on the menu. You can also order extra sauce. **Funnel cake fries.** Reviewers often recommend finishing with funnel cake. Cap't Loui serves it as Funnel Cake Fries, and beignets are also on the dessert menu. The menu also has a fryer section, sandwiches, soups, a lunch special and a kids' menu, which helps when not everyone wants shellfish. Cap't Loui notes that menu items may vary by location and are subject to availability, so check the current menu for prices and what's available. ## Good to know - **Hours:** The official Cap't Loui Summerlin page lists Sunday through Thursday, 11:30 AM to 10 PM, and Friday and Saturday, 11:30 AM to 11 PM. Some third-party listings show earlier closing times, so confirm before a late visit. - **Phone:** (702) 410-9181. - **Online ordering:** The Cap't Loui website has an "Order Now" button for online ordering. That's handy if part of the group would rather eat at home. - **Website:** captloui.com. - **Get messy:** This is a hands-on meal. Wear clothes you don't mind getting a little splashed. ## Tips for groups Lucky Villa sleeps up to 16 guests, and seafood boils are made for groups. - **Call ahead for a big table.** Cap't Loui's Group Reservations page takes groups of 6 or more, but only at the locations it lists, and Summerlin was not on that list when we checked on Nov 13, 2026. If you're bringing the whole house, call the restaurant before you go instead of walking in with 16 people. - **Order family-style.** Get a few bags with different proteins and spice levels and share them around the table. That way the spice lovers can go X-Hot while everyone else stays at Mild or Medium. - **Pile on the sides.** A few orders of garlic noodles and corn go a long way when you're feeding a crowd. - **Plan for non-seafood eaters.** The fryer items, sandwiches and kids' menu give everyone something to eat. - **Takeout is an option.** If the group would rather stay in, online ordering makes it easy to bring the boil back to the house. ## The bottom line Cap't Loui Summerlin is a fun, casual pick for groups who want a big shared meal. Build a few boils, add garlic noodles, save room for funnel cake fries, and check the current menu and hours before you go. Feeding a big group?
