| - This is probably the most creative of all the buffets, but dishes are hit or miss. There are two main things that differentiate this buffet from most of the other "nice" buffets in Vegas.
1. Exotic Ingredients/Creative Pairings
2. Portioned Servings
If you consider yourself a foodie or an adventurous eater, you'll want to give Wicked Spoon a try. Where else can you get Sweetbread Dirty Rice (not bad), Fried Oysters (pretty good), Crab Legs, Braised Short Rib over Creamy Polenta (very good), Wild Mushroom Risotto (tasted great, but they need to cook the rice an extra 15 minutes, a few grains were still gritty), Butternut Squash Raviolis with Duck Confit (surprisingly too doughy, not enough butternut squash taste, and not good), and Bone Marrow?
I went for dinner. The day you go they'll probably have totally different dishes. They have your standards, like a well seasoned tender prime rib. They have a build your own mac 'n' cheese station. The Asian foods, like the sushi look unappealing. They have quality cheeses, like St Agur Blue Cheese (Or was it Stilton? I forget), really good shrimp ceviche. The night I went they did not have the sweet potato fry station up and running. The food variety is all over the place, just stay away from the Asian foods.
I'm a fan of their portioned servings. No, they aren't trying to restrict how much us piggies want to eat, because really, how much food can one piggy eat? Things like risotto get served in their own cute little stainless steel cooking pot. If you love the dish, sure you can grab two or three pots for your plate, but if you just want to taste some, the portioned servings are perfect. How I see it is... it saves you from over spooning and overeating, when your efforts can be better spent on other dishes.
Alcohol here is extra (not like the free beer and wine bar at the Studio B Buffet @ M Hotel).
What you cannot pass up is the dessert bar. Want to make a girl happy? Bring her here! Vegas has stepped up the dessert bars over the years with Wynn, M Hotel, and now the Cosmopolitan. They have macarons! The French kind! Like salted caramel and passionfruit macarons! There's an expansive gelato bar (looked like maybe 16 flavors?) that is a must sample. Jumbo chocolate dipped strawberries, covered in nuts. Mini tiramisus. Red velvet cookies. The dessert bar is probably the most impressive part of the overall buffet... there's no better way to tap out!
Best buffet? It's pretty close. I still think I like Wynn's buffet the best, with Studio B and Wicked Spoon running neck and neck depending on what you prefer that day. All of those are way ahead of Bellagio's buffet. I have not tried the new Caesars' buffet, so I can't compare it to that.
