The 5,000-pound crawfish boil will mix a combination of corn, red potatoes and fragrant spices for the ultimate southern cultural experience. Guests also can dine on fare such as fried alligator, funnel cakes, BBQ, Cajun-style shrimp and a selection of beer and full bar services.
When the eating is over, attendees can relish in all-day entertainment including face painting, balloon crafts, lawn games and dance to live performances by Cajun blues band, Theo and the Zydeco Patrol.
The boil will run from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. and is free to enter. Secure a spot and crawfish order by reserving a table in advance. Tables start at $80 a person and includes a $55 food and $25 beverage minimum. Tables seat 4, 6, 8 and 10 guests at a time. Tickets can be purchased at www.dlvec.com or at the gate and all ages are welcome.
The Las Vegas Chapter of the LSU Alumni Association, a nonprofit organization, hosts its annual Crawfish Boil to help finance their Endowment Fund to provide Nevada students who wish to attend LSU with scholarships. The Boil is the largest fundraising event within their organization.
