| - Wicked Spoon is definitely in a league of its own. It is not a massive buffet venue, like the Bellagio Buffet or any other standard Vegas hotel buffet. Wicked Spoon is dimly lit with intimate seating, varying from tables of two to round tables of about eight. The buffet opens at 5pm, and the BF and I were starving since we landed in Vegas about 3pm. We got there at 6pm and there was no wait at all. However, about 30 minutes after we sat down, the line was around the corner.
The Wicked Spoon dishes are individually plated, which (pro) allows you to have many full dishes but (con) you can fit about 2-3 small plates on your big plate. The BF mentioned that they should consider getting plates large enough to fit 4 of their small plates - not a bad idea! I did get tired of having to go back and forth so often and having to carry a plate with two plates on top and another small plate in my other hand.
As for food, i will mention of the tasty morsels I had. I know the assortment changes everyday, but hopefully this can give you some insight into what you would expect from Wicked Spoon.
Custom macaroni and cheese station - you choose the fixings and the friendly chef makes you a yummy concoction. Toppings include proscuitto, bacon, onions, chicken, and shrimp.
Roasted duck with cherry glaze - so good!
Pork tacos and guacamole
Waldorf salad
Ahi tuna poke
Gnocchi with mushrooms - one of my favorites, but heavy
Prime rib - be aware of the horseradish! It is overpowering!
5-spice asian wings
Fried rice with pork belly
Desserts - macarons, chocolate covered strawberries, a variety of gluten-free items, chocolate lava cake, mango mousse
Overall, Wicked Spoon was a great experience, but next time, the BF wants a REAL Vegas buffet eating extravaganza. Wicked Spoon is definitely a fancied-up buffet with a guy's worst nightmare - tapas. i heard the brunch is amazing, so I will have to try that.
