I had never been to a Vegas Buffet before and did some extensive research beforehand through Yelp. It seems like Wicked Spoon is the highest rated Buffet in all of Vegas, beating out the Wynn and Bellagio. We arrived promptly at 5pm to avoid waiting in lines. In reality, if you arrive at 5:30pm, you will still not have a line and will not have to wait with all the other early birds.
Although I thought everything was good, it just didn't meet me expectations. You feel like you are dining in a cafeteria, even though you are paying a pretty high price. There is nothing "gourmet" about the buffet besides the crab legs. Everything else is just your average food options, pizza, rice, some salads, other greasy things.
I really liked how the food is presented. It is all pre-portioned out for you in cute ramekins.
The dessert bar is where the "gourmet" plays in. If only the whole meal could be as delicately and thoughtfully prepared as the desserts this would be an easy 5 stars.
They have a gelato station which was AMAZING; Super creamy and tons of different flavors. Chocolate covered strawberries were GMO at it's finest. Those were some MASSIVE strawberries!
Would I come back? No. I doubt I will ever do Vegas Buffets again because it doesn't seem worth it for the price point. Especially when all my money is meant for the casinos!
