I moved away from Vegas buffets years ago but occasionally for one reason or another I end up at one.
I kept hearing how amazing this place WAS when it first opened....and how it's not nearly as good NOW.
These buffets are never as good the second time around...and people love to talk about the "good old days" since it gives them that i'm better then you feeling.
Honestly, think about it. Every time someone regales you with tales of "back in the days" and them "old school days." What they are really saying is I did X when X was still amazing...and you can never do the same cool things i did because X sucks now. O.o
Anyways, back to the buffet. It was pretty good, and given my current view of buffets i'd say Wicked Spoon is up there with the Bellagio and Wynn buffet. I can probably go to any one of those three buffets and be equally "satisfied."
The cool thing about wicked spoon are the small individual portions served in metal saucepan type containers. They have some more unique dishes like gnocchi with asiago cheese, kalmato olive oil cod, and green curry clams with basil.
At the end of the day this place delivers what i expect from a ~35 dollar buffet in Vegas
Some type of crab legs, a carving station with prime rib, a decent selection of fish/seafood dishes, and sushi that doesn't suck too bad
