Wicked Spoon remains one of my top three Las Vegas buffets. So much so that my friend and I once flew in for a single day just to eat here! Today's visit proved exactly why they are so consistent. They prioritize intentional quality over mindless quantity. I love their unique approach of serving dishes in individual mini baskets and plates. It completely elevates the experience, making it feel like a curated tasting menu rather than a standard buffet. The mini bone marrows are an absolute standout, and one of the reasons I am a repeat customer. Because of the perfectly portioned sizes, they never taste overly greasy. I admittedly ate quite a few! I typically do not care for buffet desserts, but I enjoyed the chocolate covered strawberries (stems attached), mini creme brûlée & fruity pebbles rice crispy treats coated w vanilla (reminded me of the old Milk macarons from LA). I was lucky enough to be seated in Sahli's section today. She was an absolute rockstar! She took incredible care of everyone in her section with genuine attentiveness and deserves serious recognition from management for her hard work. They keep the tables clean, and you don't feel crammed inside. The layout is simple and you won't feel lost. I waited a little over an hour. However, since it was a holiday weekend, this was entirely expected and didn't take away from the experience at all. I will absolutely be back, just as I always am! read more

This was our 2nd time eating at Wicked Spoon for 8:30 am brunch on a Tuesday. The first time, I was blown away. This time, it seemed okay but not worth the $110 (excluding the tip). Bring cash if you don't add a gratuity on when you pay before you enter. I avoided the traditional egg and breakfast food and went for the dumplings (pork, shrimp), Chinese BBQ pork buns, Singapore noodles, Wicked Fried Chicken, shrimp tempura, broccoli slaw, Wicked Mac and cheese (spicy - yuck - the only thing I didn't finish), Caesar salad. For dessert, I managed a purple Uzi cone, pistachio and chocolate cake, and tiramisu cake. There was also ice cream and gelato. Julia, our server, was very nice and friendly and got us our coffee and cleared our plates. read more

With tip, the total came out to around $60, but I don't think it was worth the price. The food selection was very limited, and most of the food was not very good. The beef/steak was very tough and made my teeth hurt while eating. There were also very few other dishes to choose from. Their Asian dishes were not well made and didn't taste authentic. The only thing that was somewhat okay was the pizza. Overall, this place feels more like a $35-$40 buffet, not a $60 experience. The food options were too limited, and it was not as good as several other casino buffets. read more

It's located on the second floor of the beautiful Cosmopolitan hotel. They're open daily 8am-2pm Definitely recommend making online reservations otherwise they accept walk-ins but prepared for a long wait! I'm lucky I made an online reservation a few weeks in advance so I didn't have to wait! I went to the buffet on Monday at 11am and was surprised it was pretty packed! Pricing was not too bad since it was just $50/person. Service was friendly and attentive. There is 90 min time limit! Inside was spacious with plenty of seating. Don't expect as many selections as Bacchanal but that's expected since Bacchanal charges twice as much. There weren't that many selections since it's basically just a brunch buffet. There was a good variety of breakfast dishes, such as Egg Benedicts, French toast, waffles, etc. The egg station was my favorite since it's made fresh and there's the option to choose how you want your eggs and what to put inside. I went for the omelette and it was delicious! The crab legs were also very good and I liked how there was someone serving the crab legs so everybody has a fair chance to get a good amount! The crab legs were very juicy and fresh! The meat selections were pretty limited and the meat was quite dry and didn't taste that great. The chicken and waffles was disappointing since the fried chicken wasn't crispy and tasted like it was out for quite some time. The waffles also didn't taste fresh and didn't taste good. The dessert selection was decent. Definitely enjoyed the desserts the most out of everything at the buffet! My favorite was the gelato station! The lychee sorbet was very tarty and not too sweet. The creme brulee was creamy and tasted so delicious! The tiramisu had hints of espresso and the cake was so fluffy and fresh! Overall, I thought the buffet was ok but I wasn't too impressed with the quality or the selections unfortunately so I most likely won't return or recommend. read more

One of the last remaining buffet experiences left in Las Vegas but it's a great one. Still offering well executed individually portioned small dishes, wicked spoon has something for everyone. Unique pastas, excellent Caesar salads, fresh oysters mussels and shrimp. A good selection of breads, dips and cheeses. Waffles and chicken, fish and chips, and a range of roasted meats including lamb, pork, beef, and chicken all very well prepared and juicy. There is of course snow crab.legs that are not over cooked and still maintaining there flavor. The desserts here are excellent with a huge assortment of in house hand crafted desserts including cookies cakes creame brulee, meringue, and a great selection of gelato and sorbets. Not one to give out five stars easily but the prentation and quality of dishes was very good consistent and some interesting dishes. read more

What a major disappointment! We have been meaning to try Wicked Spoon for quite some time, and unfortunately today was the day. The line, is long, unless you're gold or higher status so luckily we got seated within five minutes. The buffet itself is a 90 minute buffet, which felt off putting. I felt rushed and worried I'd run out of time, even though no one really seems to monitor too much how long you're sitting there. The front staff and servers were kind. That was nice. The food was horrible. Terrible plating, and absolutely overly salted, inedible food! The Asian corner, terrible. The seafood corner, dry, and minimal. The steak station was the only, ok side. The plating is absolutely illogical, and makes for an odd experience. Too small, can't cut your food, or tasteless. This buffet is OVER HYPED, and for no good reason! Yes it's in Cosmopolitan but it compares nowhere close to Wynn or even Bellagio buffet. Worth a try, see for yourself.. but don't say I didn't warn you when you're a hundred bucks down and wondering what just happened to your wallet and yourself in a "90 minute" time span! Ugh the stress lol Cheers to old school spots that hold quality and value Yelpers xx read more

It was pretty good. If your looking for value, I think this hits the mark. I mean with the crab legs and bone marrow alone, you can do some damage. We liked the variety of desserts. I think it's worth trying atleast once. Pros: * Clean restaurant * Good food; recommend crab legs, smoked salmon, Pistachio Gelato, and lemon tart * Kind servers Cons: * Some of the food was bland or soggy (when it should have been crispy) I think it's a game of chance when it comes to buffets and certain foods. Extra: *90 minute time limit but they didn't make a big deal when we went over by a bit * The line gets long and it takes some time to move. We arrived around 10:30 on a Tuesday and had about a 40 minute wait * You can make a reservation and Gold mgm player cards and above get priority access. read more

Great buffet. So many options! We loved the crab! We didn't have to wait for lunch as we went on a weekday! I don't think they are all open everyday of the week but this one was. With the new bridge/tunnel path, it was easy to get to and from park mgm/aria. read more

Great Deal, Nightmare Logistics: Is the BOGO Worth a 4-Hour Wait? The $54.99 Locals BOGO Brunch is a generous promo, and clearly, the community took notice. However, while the deal itself is fantastic, the experience of actually getting to a table was a different story. The Wait Experience was Exhausting and Uncertain: We arrived at 10 AM and waited for four hours. The line stretched all the way back to the dog statues with no guarantee of making the 2 PM cutoff. Lack of Communication: It was frustrating that the staff wouldn't officially cut off the line or provide updates on who would actually be seated. This made for a particularly tough experience for families with small children and seniors using walking assistants. Better Systems Needed: Having run this promo before, the restaurant really should have a more organized and virtual waiting system. Staff: To their credit, the staff was helpful and responsive. They handled a constant barrage of questions with professionalism, which was much appreciated given the chaos. The Meal: The food was good and definitely worth the BOGO price, but it is not worth a 4-hour wait on your feet. Final Verdict: Unless you are willing to pay the $25 skip-the-line pass, you might be better off spending your money elsewhere. It's a great deal on paper, but the physical toll of the wait is a high price to pay. read more

Came here for brunch and this place exceeded my expectations. For $49.99 a person, there was enough variety in the dishes they served and quality was great.

Second time having Wicked Spoon and I have to say I am unfortunately not at all impressed. To be blunt I do think there are other buffets around the strip that are more worth the money. The best things I've found here are the roast section, the bone marrow, and the desserts. Everything else was frankly underwhelming for me most especially the Asian section. The items there are quite obviously low cost from the roll options to the very small dimsum section. Desserts were wonderful! great options especially the ice cream / gelato. Huge array of unique choices! The cheesecakes as well were up there in my opinion, but overall the main courses are very forgettable. Shoutout to Ver for his exceptional service! We had a party of 14 and that man works hard. read more

We went there for brunch on Wednesday. We had made a reservation about a week ahead of time. We were fortunate that it wasn't crowded this time. Food was really good again. Huge variety as always. I think the tri tip was my favorite. Most people lost their minds when the crab legs came out. lol. The desserts were just beautiful and everything I tried was so delicious. It's a must every time I'm in Vegas. read more

We went here during our trip in December to Vegas. One mistake we made was we did not make reservations. That meant we were destined to stand in line for a long time, certainly over a hour. There was a wide variety of dishes to try and the food was a mix. Some was fantastic, some was ok and some was a "not going to eat that anymore". When my husband I went up for our second plate, I came back to our table to find that my drink had been knocked onto the ground and there was ice and broken glass everwhere. There was someone cleaning it up but it was definitely VERY akward. I have done a few other buffets in vegas and this is certainly better than a lot. read more

Came here for the brunch buffet during our stay to try one out given how famous they are. The gentleman helping our table was overall friendly though I got a funny look when I ordered my brunch booze which I didn't appreciate. The food was what you'd expect from a buffet. Some decent dishes as well as other ones I thought weren't the best. I'd say the dessert section all in all was pretty good. Crab legs were nice too. It's generally a clean spot not too far from the casinos. If you're looking to try a buffet while you're in Vegas, this would be worth a visit. read more

Love the crab legs and shrimp. They have a whole seasoning station with butter to make your own seafood boil. Their French toast and crepes were also very delicious with some vanilla ice cream! I can't remember our servers name. She was friendly. But the guy taking away our dirty plates was really the star of the show. I swear he was just there everytime we were done with a dish. His name was Nick. He was on it. I recognize a hard worker when I see one. We loved Nick! He deserves a raise!!! read more

The service is decently polite and patient, the servers could be a bit quicker but overall service is good. The food selection was excellent!! My family enjoyed the various selection and enjoyed themselves till they got nice and full. Mother in law got her crab legs out the wazoo lol I love their dumpling selection and their carving selection is also pretty good!! The overall ambiance is good!! It's a hotel buffet so they keep it looking updated and clean. We love this spot cause of the crab legs and the delicious choices!! A must visit and revisit lol read more

Came for the crab legs, it ended up enjoying the dessert the most. Tried a little bit of everything... there was a wicket fried chicken and waffle that was pretty good. All of the other lunch food we ate was alright. Didn't love the sushi, tasted like it was from a grocery store. But, we really enjoyed the chocolate lava cake and crème brûlée. Not sure we'd pay for the buffet again, but it was a decent experience. read more

I think this is my favorite buffet in Vegas (out of the ones I've tried). Crab legs! I don't think they bring them out right when they open, so if that's mainly what you want to eat (which it was for me), it's probably better to come later in the morning. The dessert section is great. The chocolate lava cake is so good. I think I ate 5 of them. There is also a good gelato selection--I think a couple sorbet flavors and lots of regular flavors. I liked the mango sorbet and the pistachio the most. The coffee crunch has these weird little balls in it that I don't know what they are, but I would have preferred plain coffee, without them. And they take reservations! I was so surprised to find that. I thought one of the intrinsic parts of Vegas buffet was waiting in a long line. Not having to wait this most recent time I went was awesome. read more

Since its opening, the Wicked Spoon Buffet at the Cosmopolitan has been highly regarded as one of the best buffets in Las Vegas. But since the hotel's acquisition by MGM, many have been talking about the decline in the buffet's quality. Curious about these rumors, I decided to try the buffet and came in on a Saturday morning around 11AM. Arriving at the buffet entrance, there were a few different lines available at the time. While the lines for the MGM Gold and Platinum members was virtually empty, the stand-by line for this buffet was full. And after about an hour of waiting, my party finally made it to the section of the line where you pay for the buffet at the digital kiosks. Each person at the buffet was about $62 per person before tax and tip at the time of this review, which leans on the expensive side for the disappearing Vegas buffets. And considering the selection on this buffet, I wished there was just a tad more selection. With plenty of breakfast foods and your typical go-tos like a carving station with tri-tip and a snow crab section, there were some options. But while these selections shined, I didn't really recognize what was so "wicked" about this buffet. Yes....I did see the bone marrow and bourbon-glazed baby carrots that everyone seems to talk about. But other than the main dessert section, the rest of the food seemed pretty standard for a buffet. Other sections like the Asian and Hispanic areas felt underwhelming and needed some more dish volume to feel worthwhile. Because of this, the price-to-portion ratio felt pretty steep. Looking at a handful of the food, my first plate had some cocktail shrimp, bone marrow, fried chicken, beef brisket, and bourbon-glazed baby carrots. And from this selection, the chicken wings were the best because of their size, moisture, and light breading. Of the other items, the bourbon-glazed baby carrots were sweet and easy to chew which were also very good. But for the rest, nothing was too special. The shrimp cocktail only had two pieces of shrimp in them which signaled to me that Wicked Spoon might be trying to portion control some of more expensive items. The bone I chose only had a small amount of marrow and did not taste all that great. And trying the brisket, the pieces of meat were dry and hard to eat. I ended up grabbing snow crab legs and liquid butter on my second visit. And for these, the taste was pretty good. Each leg tasted flavorful and the butter definitely helped give some moisture. But while the crab legs tasted fine, the pieces of meat kept breaking apart when I tried to take them out of the shells. Because of this, I was questioning the freshness of the crab legs. And trying a third plate full of desserts, the items were just okay. The chocolate-covered strawberries tasted rich, but the strawberries themselves were not that fresh. Moving to the creme brulee next, the dessert had some crisp moments on the top and tasted like a light custard. Having a small cheesecake next, it tasted pretty good....but nothing out of the ordinary for a typical cheesecake. But of these desserts, the chocolate molten lava cake was the best of the bunch as the chocolate was not too sweet, the cake was not too soft, and the sugar on top was added modestly. Judging by the amount of people in line to eat here, I figured that the buffet must be good in the eyes of most people. And for that reason, I'd say that Wicked Spoon sits at about a three star rating that borderlines a four. While the food I did have was pretty good, nothing really screamed GREAT or UNIQUE. And with a modest selection that was made up of mostly breakfast foods, I had a hard time justifying the $62 price tag. That said though, I will give the Wicked Spoon credit for including snow crab legs on this buffet as that was the main reason I could imagine justifying the price. In all, Wicked Spoon is still decent on the condition the snow crab legs are on the buffet. But otherwise, you might be better taking your money to other buffets in the area. read more

I saw many mixed reviews but still decided to try on Christmas Eve morning, we arrived at 10:20 and I expected 1hr+ waiting which turned out to be about 90 min+ ish. You can definitely tell people got more impatient toward the end. When we got in the line got longer. The food selection is less than bacchanal for sure but all are fresh and good. I especially enjoyed the unlimited snow crab, the roast beef and seafood freshly made by a lady chef(people lined up for the egg station not the seafood one which steamed weird to me, and the chef felt so lonely so I ordered and it was great!) even their roast duck is well seasoned and cooked. Although it became pricey for Christmas it's still worth it, even with that wait time. When we basically finished the evening at around 4:30pm there were still people eating inside, and I think they still are supplying whatever you want which is great. So a five star for sure, just keep in mind the wait time is very long and could be a lot longer than expected. Bon appétit! read more

Interior there was modern casual. It was busy But the server was very friendly and he got everything right! The food was good!! I got a lot of Crab leg! Nothing special about it. Not too salty. I liked smoked salmon too. wish they had capers(couldn't find it. there were creme chesse and lemon etc) And fresh juice was tasty! crème brûlées was amazing! and so as thai tea and strawberry chesse cake gelato! regular price $62 might make me feel too over budget.

Quick, Surprisingly Good Brunch Stop at Wicked Spoon (Inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas) I'm normally someone who steers clear of buffets, but we needed a quick breakfast before heading out to explore Las Vegas--and Wicked Spoon ended up being a great choice for exactly that. Even without a reservation, the line moved fast thanks to the self-service kiosks where you place and pay for your meal. We waited maybe 8-10 minutes for a table, which felt very reasonable for a busy Vegas morning. Brunch for two adults ran about $55 per person. There's a huge variety of options: fresh seafood that looked surprisingly good for a buffet, a solid salad bar, beautiful pastries, and plenty of savory stations for meat lovers. They also have a made-to-order omelet station if you want something customized. We did a quick lap, filled one plate with "a little of everything" to sample, and were done pretty fast. We easily could have gone back for more, but we were full--and on a mission to get outside and enjoy the day. Service was friendly and attentive, and the coffee was rich and genuinely enjoyable (not always a given at a buffet). Bottom line: If you're looking for a fast, high-quality buffet experience on the Strip--especially when you don't want to commit to a long sit-down meal--Wicked Spoon delivers. read more

I dined at Wicked Spoon once recently and once a long time ago. This is probably the best buffet at the mid tier (Although there are some better ayce options at this price point that aren't in a "buffet" format). I'm considering mid tier to be buffets that are around $50. The selection is fair but not huge by any means. *You can reserve ahead of time to skip the line *If you make a reservation, they will charge your credit card right then. *When you arrive for your reservation, you can switch your payment to room charge and they are supposed to refund your original credit card charge. (Although, it's been a week and I haven't seen a refund yet) Food: The food quality matches the buffet price. I felt like it was a fair value for $50 and not a super good one. High value items were basically just the carving station and the snow crab legs. If you aren't a fan of either of those, this buffet will probably be a poor value to you. Strangely, I didn't any shrimp cocktail. Even many lower tier buffets have shrimp cocktail. Service: Moderate. The lady brought me a beverage when I was first seated and then I didn't really see her the rest of the time, except when she came by to check the receipt that was on my table. I'm guessing that she checked my arrival time on the receipt and then proceeded to take the receipt and then disappear again. read more

Great variety! I forgot to take a pic but they did have crab after. I would say I like the crab legs at bacchanel better but wicked spoon is about half the price so pretty great deal. They had an egg station as well that had great options like shrimp in your omelette. I really liked their ginger drink and salads were refreshing. The brisket was so yummy I kept going back when I saw rare pieces. Overall I think pretty good as a buffet for $49 pp but there were some weird items I didn't like. I think the chicken and waffles was disappointing because it was dry and the syrup didn't combine the flavors. The entire Asian section of the buffet was kinda bad. They had like ramen with tonkotsu soup but I think it was a little weird. The most bizarre was the gailan with kimchi read more

I miss the pre-Covid lockdown Wicked Spoon (4.5 star worthy), but this version is still solid. It's more of a 3.5 star buffet today. My cousin and I were staying at the Cosmo to catch a UofA bball game (Go Cats!) and the elevator we took to the ground floor just happened to be right next to the WS...what luck! We paid at the kiosk and didn't have to wait to be seated. I also partook in the bottomless Mimosas with a time limit of 1.5 hours while my cousin stayed sober (his loss.) The food was solid. I really enjoyed the chicken and waffles because the chicken has some delicious curry seasoning. I had some brisket and sausage from the carving station and some delicious mashed potatoes. And of course I went wild for the crab legs and some small plate Caesar Salad. The double chocolate cookie and desert that tasted like raspberry cheesecake were delectable. But that's it. The options were rather lackluster for 11:30am on a Monday. I would have loved some sliders, breakfast pizza, exotic sushi or Mexican options, but there wasn't much to choose from. Our server cut me off at the 1.5hr mark. I should have drank those mimosas faster! I needed a half hour more to feel like I got my $30 worth. C'est la vie. WS is still a solid buffet option in the creek (used to be sea) of AYCE options. Check it out if you're hungry. read more

I've had much better breakfast and brunch buffets. The vegetarian options seemed limited, and standard things like yogurt and cereal were missing. Bagels and breads could have been better.

While kind of pricey, we finally went to the Wicked Spoon with our whole family. Normally we eat the free food provided with our hotel stay. We be cheap, what can I say? So we made reservations for 8:30. As happens with the strip parking and maze of hotels, we didn't actually sit till 8:45. In the past, that would have been a problem as the lines used to be down the hall. The day we went, no problem. As we sat down, the place was only around 10-15% of capacity. Too early? Empty Vegas? Who knows. The food. Nice. There was a real cross section of food. A few dim sum, tri tip, omelets to order, sushi, etc etc. Highlights to me were: shrimp and grits (actually awesome), tri tip with chimmichuri sauce, gelato, and snow crab. Yes snow crab. That could be why the crowds weren't there at 8:30. Cause you are given 90 mins to gorge yourself and the crab is brought out around 10 o'clock. The arrival of crab is funny in itself as people slowly informally line up around the crab area a few minutes before it's even hinted at. Even though the line up was brisk, the line moves really fast as the legs aren't separated and most people serve themselves a cluster or two in seconds. Within 10 mins there wasn't much of a line. The end the morning grind, the gelato was really good. Definitely a fun place to eat with quality food. Stamp of approval! Hint: parking is for the day, so if you do go, plan to stay a while on the Strip as you'd paid for it already. The MGM trams will take you up and down the road for free. read more

First Vegas buffet experience, and it was pretty solid - a few standout dishes and good service. First off, our waiter checked in on us a few times throughout, and cleared our plates relatively quickly. In terms of the food, the following dishes were particular standouts: - snow crab: can get cold, but grab them when they first come out - wicked wings - smoked salmon (lox) - peach cobbler French toast - chocolate lava cake: small but mighty! For a good deal, I recommend coming earlier in the morning to get a good mix of breakfast and lunch selections. read more

Just had brunch at the Wicked Spoon. Not like it used to be. You can no longer self-serve crab legs or shrimp. The shrimp boil and snow crab legs are now monitored and served by staff , they literally ask how many shrimp you want. I thought it was a buffet. That's some serious penny-pinching, especially when the buffet isn't cheap. read more

When people talk about the best buffets in Vegas, they typically talk about Bacchanal in Caesars and the Buffet at the Wynn. Or they'll talk about the AYCE Lobster at Palms. Those buffets deserve the buzz and hype; however, the forgotten buffet is Wicked Spoon at Cosmopolitan, which is MLife's best buffet. Wicked Spoon costs about $50 and they're only open for brunch from 8a-2p daily. I pre-paid for my reservation and was able to skip the line and get promptly seated at my requested time. Definitely plan to come on time as you have a 90 minute time limit for your meal. For my Friday/9am reservation, there was still ample seating. What's nice about Wicked Spoon is that most of their food items are individually plated/portioned, they're well seasoned, and they're pretty delicious. When I made my first few rounds, I noticed that there wasn't any seafood sections and I actually wasn't missing it too much. I really enjoyed their spicy chicken and waffles, their "Mexican" station, their bright salads, their crepes, their shrimp and grits, and their desserts. In particular, their creme brulee and thai tea gelato were delicious. By about 10am, we were basically full; however, we noticed that they promptly put out the freshly steamed snow crab legs at that time. If you're the type of person who wants to eat their weight in crab, plan to get your fill after 10am. Make sure you add butter, a fresh squeeze of lime, and some salt/pepper to maximize the flavor. Service was great, flavors were exceptional, cost is $20-30 cheaper than Wynn and Bacchanal and, though they have less menu items here, the flavor is not lacking. The only complaint is that sometimes items can get cold if they're sitting out; however, that didn't happen often. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and I feel that this is a very good buffet that is underrated and reasonably priced (which is hard to find anywhere in Vegas these days). read more

This place isn't just a buffet -- it's an experience. The selection was massive, but what really stood out was the quality. Everything I tried was high-end, fresh, and genuinely delicious. It didn't feel like typical buffet food -- it felt like curated dishes from multiple great restaurants all in one spot. The desserts were incredible. So many options, beautifully presented, and each one tasted as good as it looked. I easily could've made an entire meal just from that section alone. And yes -- they even had a wedge salad, which was a pleasant surprise. Crisp lettuce, great toppings, perfectly done. It's the little details like that which show they care. Seafood, carved meats, global dishes -- there was something amazing at every turn. We waited about an hour in line, and I can honestly say it was worth every minute standing there. If you're in Las Vegas and debating whether to go -- do it. This is a 10 out of 5 stars kind of place. read more

I love buffets so I was excited to try the Wicked Spoon. The buffet only offers brunch so it closes at 2pm. It was $62 per person which includes drinks as well but no alcoholic drinks. There is an extra charge for alcoholic drinks. The amount of different dishes offered is less than the more popular buffets but I think that it's definitely worth the price. My personal favorites were the mac and cheese, tri tip, and pizza. Our server was super nice and had our drinks and refills come out fast. Overall, I would come back here again! read more

The first time I went here was about 4 yrs ago. What is great now is, every Wednesday, locals can pay less than the normal price so that gave us an incentive to go check it out, see if anything changes and if it is still as good as we remembered from 4 years ago. There wasn't a line when we showed up close to 1pm. We were seated right away and once we ordered our drinks, which also were included in the price. It was a weekday so it wasn't crowded. The selections are great. The crab legs were salty to me, so I didn't care for them. I enjoyed the carving station and other options. I love their desserts. The staff is courteous. It definitely was a fun experience and the deal is great for locals. I will come back again later. Hopefully it won't be another 4 yrs, so we'll see. read more

I LOVE IT HERE!!!! if you love buffets, you gotta check this place out. There's such a wide variety of food that is continually prepared by the chefs in the kitchen. The service is consistent and our server regularly checked up on us. It's pretty empty which is surprising considering the overall experience has been amazing. $50 for an adult and an extra $30 for bottomless mimosas. Honestly, not bad! Can't beat the value and the price. read more

I come here every time I'm in Vegas, which is once a year. I can't ever remember SERVICE being as bad as it was. The guy just wasn't what I have come to expect. The food was pretty good. My hubby did not enjoy the prime rib because it literally didn't have any seasoning. I paid $158 to get in. That's the price of the Buffet PLUS $50 to upgrade to VIP. I don't mind paying for jumping the line, BUT it SHOULD INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE ALCOHOLIC DRINK OF YOUR CHOICE. The ambiance was family friendly and a little busy for a Monday brunch. If you come here while in Vegas, please let me know your thoughts. read more
