Wicked Spoon - Top Rated Buffets In The Strip!!! - Las Vegas, NV, U.S.A.

 

Located at the Cosmopolitan, the Wicked Spoon is considered one of the top rated buffets in Las Vegas. This restaurant is renowned for its high-end, innovative take on the traditional Las Vegas buffet, offering gourmet, small-plate portions rather than standard large trays. It is famous for its extensive brunch menu, featuring standout items like snow crab legs, bone marrow, and a whole variety of desserts.

Hours Of Operation:

Monday to Sunday: 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Pricing:

Weekdays (Mon-Thu) are $49.99 while weekends (Fri-Sun) are $54.99

The restaurant is primarily known for its small-plate presentation, which reimagines the traditional high-volume buffet as an elevated, "market dining" experience. Instead of large communal trays, many dishes are served in individual portions, such as tiny baskets, pots, and mini-fryer pans, allowing diners to sample a wider variety of gourmet items.

Key Highlights & Tips for Visiting:

• Signature Dishes: The buffet is famous for its bone marrow (served with short rib), Wicked Fried Chicken (often served in mini-baskets), and crab legs.
• Renowned Brunch: It is considered one of the best brunch spots on the Strip, featuring unique items like Cajun shrimp and grits, peach cobbler French toast, and a customizable omelet station.
• "Dessert Island": The dessert section is a major draw, known for its extensive gelato bar with unique flavors, chocolate-covered strawberries, and petite pastries like tiramisu and molten lava cakes.
