Wicked Spoon

Cosmopolitan
(702) 698-7000 (877) 893-2001 | Official Website
Price: $25-$75
Type: Buffets

With more than 11,000 reviews on Yelp and Trip Advisor, averaging four stars, this buffet is obviously a standout. It also receives a number of editor's picks as the best buffet in Las Vegas -- including ours.

 

Wicked Spoon separates itself from the pack and separates itself from the casino: It's in an out-of-the-way corner on the way to the convention space. Yet another is with individual portions in little bowls and pots, so you don't have to scoop anything yourself, overload your plate or overeat any one item. Also, the food presentation is much more effective and attractive this way. Little cups of crab and avocado, salmon sushi and carpaccio, just-enough asparagus risotto, clams, truffle potatoes, and much more.

 

Then again, the prime rib cuts have always been huge and the cracked king crab legs are big and abundant. One unusual carving-station item is the roasted bone marrow (reportedly super good for you). Other noteworthy offerings include pho in oxtail broth, frogs legs, squid-ink pasta, kale salad, Thai iced tea -- you get the idea.

 

Definitely save room for dessert; the choices are too many to list and too good for spoiler alerts.

 

Finally, this buffet offers express take-out service: $25+tax to fill a container with as much food as you can. Available Wednesday through Sunday only.

LVA Review

This buffet was re-reviewed in the February 2014 LVA; some of the information contained in this review may no longer be accurate.

 

Given that we’re trying breakfast buffets, we figured we’d throw in a premium option. Since we last reviewed Wicked Spoon (LVA 1/11), breakfast and lunch have been discontinued and it’s now brunch and dinner only. We tried the former, which runs from 8 am to 2 pm for $26 ($34 on weekends). Breakfast selections include bagels & lox, pumpkin pancakes, waffles, crepes, breakfast pizzas, salmon and beef-cheek Benedicts, poached eggs in spicy red sauce, and various other egg concoctions, along with an omelet station with the freshest ingredients. Better is the lunch fare, which on the day we sampled featured sushi, siu mai, mushroom risotto, white bean ragout, individual baskets of fried chicken, bone marrow, top sirloin, sausage links, and salads of all sorts, including papaya. Our favorites were two dishes you won’t find in many buffets: kalbi short ribs and kung pau cauliflower. This is a strong buffet on the high-end, and making it even better, there were no lines at 10 am on a Wednesday morning.

    another Las Vegas change
    In  past years 2 for one honored
    Now only for new sigh on member to Idenity ( there players club)
    A real letdown Because you have paid to park and already there
    We bit the bullet and paid the full price The food is good
    It seems Vegas recently is doing a lot of nickel dime tactics to make money

    Visited this buffet in December
    It was awesome!  Highly recommend.  Plus, they had char-grilled oysters...I had SO MANY oysters.  It was great.

    Eldon & Edna re 'COSMOPOL-WICKED Spoon Brunch - Sunday Dec. 5 @ 11:29.
    Unimpressed. Place disorganized. Had to beg for a cup of coffee. Just no ambience. Small plates unimpressive. food- a general run. Crabs legs was only item that stood-out but had to wait. Really don't live up to its ranking and cost. one of our worst experiences in buffets.

    Going to be in LV next week starting on Sunday the 23rd. IS this buffet still going and is it any good for the money? Thanks
