| - my favorite buffet in las vegas.
after so many trips to vegas and being able to sample all of the buffets (either over time and/or via the Buffet of Buffets 24hr pass), there are a few reasons why Wicked Spoon is my favorite.
the price is right up there with the costs of eating at the other premiere buffets on the Strip (the Rio, the Bacchanal, the Bellagio) but considering the many different varieties of entrees and desserts, it's the best bang for your buck. the kicker is that for $10 extra during brunch, you can add bottomless mimosas, bloody mary's, and champagne which more than pays for itself after you've had a couple to go along with your meal. it's a good way to sit back and welcome the afternoon with friends!
aside from your standard buffet must have's like the prime rib, roast beef, crab legs, and short ribs. but they also have dishes that are a nice twist and a treat considering i don't get to eat that way often like the goat cheese mac & cheese, oysters, crab cakes, and bone marrow. the desserts are delicious: gelato, thai tea ice cream, pastries, cake pops, and pecan tarts highlight the dessert section if you want a step up from the usual apple pie, cookies, or jello.
by comparison, the new Bacchanal at the Caesar's Palace is great, but not "worth paying almost $20 more than what you'd pay at WS" great. they also take part in the Buffet of Buffets pass, but to dine there, you have to pay an additional $15 (after you've already paid $50 for the pass itself). and when i ate there a few months ago, i didn't see any dishes that weren't served at WS that would justify the difference in price. enjoy!
