| - In my six trips to Las Vegas, I have made it a point to try as many buffets as possible. Some are great because of a low-price and others are great because of the variety. What most buffets lack, however, is the ability to serve high-quality food for the masses.
Despite the challenges of serving thousands of people from what amounts to a trough, the Wicked Spoon does a tremendous job. It holds the distinction for me as the best brunch buffet I've had in Vegas, even better than the Bellagio. In fact, the only buffet at the Comsopolitan's level is the Aria Buffet, but that's for another review.
The Cosmopolitan has better, newer and more modern ambiance than places like the Bellagio, Monte Carlo and Planet Hollywood. The waitstaff is more attentive as you would expect for an expensive place.
The Wicked Spoon is great down to the details. The juices are fresher the desserts are better, the menu is more unique and even the presentation is just better.
Here are a few of the unique eats the Wicked Spoon had to offer: braised pork Benedict, chicken apple sausages, angry (spicy) mac and cheese, breakfast pizzas and more.
Overall, I was very impressed with the menu (the food on it, not the way it was typed). In fact, there was a type-o on the menu and a missing comma made me order a mixture of cranberry and pineapple juices that didn't exist. But they made it for me and it was amazing.
Best Bet: Weekday brunch is cheaper than the weekends.
