| - The Cosmopolitan does it again!
It had been over 10 years since I ate at a Vegas hotel buffet, but I figured I should give The Cosmopolitan a chance, since I've became a fan of their other offerings (like The Chandelier). Since I wanted to take advantage of that $22 brunch from 10a to 2p, I got here around noon. If I arrived any earlier, I wouldn't have been hungry enough to sample a lot of their offerings.
In the end I took care of 5 plates, when including dessert. On my first place, I piled up salad, fruit, a chicken salad slider, and shrimp cocktail (that come in plastic containers resembling shot glasses). Then I got up to head towards the warm food area. On my next 3 plates, I went with their chicken, pork, mac & cheese, korean ribs, fried rice, chow mein, and even threw in some bacon for good measure. I know I had more than that, but I packed those ribs on twice and there were some other things I wanted to try, but didn't get to.
And for dessert, I went with strawberry balsamic gelato, a chocolate covered strawberry, and a macaroon. If I had taken a look at the dessert area first, I probably would have cut back something else from that of my previous 3 plates. I wanted a lot more gelato flavors, since they have what looked like well over a dozen! My advice: practice some self-discipline, take small portions, you can always have more of something later if you like it a lot. As for me, I obviously had little self-control.
When I left around 1:30, the line outside was huge. Sorry guys, not sure if there was much left after the damage I did.
