| - WOW!!! This was the best buffet in Vegas!! We just came back from our 4th trip to Vegas, and you can't beat Wicked Spoon. We have been to practically every buffet there, and this one can't be beat. We found out about it from our fellow Yelpers! (thanks guys!) It was so good, we hit it 2x in our week there. First time, we went for dinner with friends of ours who are very picky, meat & potato people from Tx. (We're from Nyc, and eat everything! Lol). At first glance I wasn't sure they would like it because the dishes looked fancy and real creative. However, the buffet is BIG and there are many different foods for every pallet. Each station has a different type of food, and each portion comes in a little container that looks like a 1 cup measuring cup. Very cute. Also a good idea because then you won't take more than you can eat. They had a great salad/fruit/cheese area, a MAC AND CHEESE BAR where you customize your dish!!, Korean bbq section, (amazing!), chinese food (general tso's chicken was great!) pasta, prime rib, sushi, crab legs, etc. We had an amazing lamb/cavatelli dish that could not be beat. Unreal flavor. I had 2 servings of that. Crab legs are usually my favorite thing, but these were skinny and dry and not good. That was the only zonk in there! Service was fantastic. The atmosphere is that of an upscale NY restaurant, not a buffet. Wait staff is on top of it with re-filling your glasses and removing old plates asap. Very friendly.
Then when you're done eating- there's the dessert bar!! OMG! Take a DINNER SIZE plate and run over to the dessert bar. Don't play games here. This is serious eating. What they don't have!!! Gelato (the biscotti flavor was the best gelato I've ever had! Tasted like Creme Brulee). They had chocolate covered strawberries dipped in oreos, nuts, etc. -Then they had unreal-fresh baked chocolate chunk cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, etc. Then the strawberry shortcake bar where you assemble your own with fresh cream!!! Then there are pastries, tiramasu, creme brulee, chocolates, fudge, etc. This list goes on and on. The second time we came here we went to the Sunday brunch. Just as amazing, only instead of the mac and cheese bar, there was an omelet station that was great. They had an amazing stuffed french toast to die for, breakfast items- cereals, oatmeal, eggs benedict, bacon, sausages, pancakes, and some other food- shrimp cocktail, different pasta dishes, sushi. They only had 3 different sushi rolls but the fish was very good. Unusual for a buffet.
All in all, everything was amazing. Delicious. Everyone I went with rolled out of there stuffed to oblivion. Something for everyone. Very different kind of buffet. Original dishes. Kind of "Iron Chef" meet buffet. Lol. Dinner was $30 a head I think, brunch with unlimited mimosas/champagne $37 and lunch is $19. Go for lunch cheaply, and then when you love it, commit to dinner and go back!!! Can't wait to go next time I am back in Vegas! Def the best part of the new, swanky, Cosmo hotel & casino.
