| - I am not a buffet person. I would rather pay more to get higher quality food made to order instead of sitting under heat lamps for hours with people walking by and coughing in their general direction. That said, this is one of the least bad buffets I have ever been to, the other one that still exists being the Bacchanal at Caesar's Palace. There's also the one that no longer exists, the Rio seafood buffet BEFORE it started to suck (back in the early 2000s; I got married and brought my husband years later but all the seafood smelled and tasted totally rancid) -- since it sucks now, I can't count that one anymore.
So which to choose? Depends on what you want. The Asian food was better at Bacchanal, while the Wicked Spoon's Asian food was terrible. Bacchanal has some small selection of okay dim sum and made-to-order noodles (udon, ramen, pho, and even laksa, which I haven't seen at a buffet before). The Wicked Spoon had better prime rib and other cutting station meats, and had ribeye steak, which Bacchanal does not have. Both have lots of tiny cute desserts, but Bacchanal has daan tat (Chinese egg custard tarts). They had a puff pastry shell instead of the usual crust which is like a cross between puff pastry and harder, shortbread-like pie crust.
The best things Wicked Spoon had to offer were the wicked fried chicken (spicy fried chicken in mini baskets), the ribeye, mini shrimp cocktails, and the made-to-order paella-like seafood station.
They made us wait and seated several parties behind us first, which was kind of annoying especially considering how long we had already been waiting by then. It was also on the late side by the time we got seated (less than an hour before closing, even though we got there before 8pm), and while no one rushed us, I still felt a bit rushed as they were doing quite a bit of cleanup all around us 20 minutes into our meal, and they started taking food off the buffet line. I had to run around and grab a bunch of stuff and dump it at the table in order for us to grab some things before the opportunity was taken away.
Finally, like I said about Bacchanal, to me it's worth going just once to experience it, but like all the high-end buffets costs more money than it's worth, and is also not worth the hour and a half wait it took us on a late weekday night.
Now we only have one more buffet to cross off our Vegas buffet list, the Sterling champagne brunch, and then I never have to eat at another buffet for as long as I live.
