Is the Wicked Spoon Buffet at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas worth $50?

[@griffonlandry1845]

Great video as always! Glad to see that the Wicked Spoon is keeping its quality even after the transition to MGM. Really like how they have the portion sizes also. Everything looked solid. Keep up the great work

[@dog1dog223]

Great review - this channel deserves a lot more subscribers!

[@ShowMeVegas]

Much appreciated!

[@Leviathan_013]

Agreed 100%

[@jonathangibson807]

Awesome videos bro - love your channel. Wicked Spoon has been one of my favorites for years although I do feel that it was much better pre-2020. Thanks again for your videos. Always love watching them.

[@ShowMeVegas]

Thanks so much!

[@EFChicago]

Love the wicked spoon. Always like buffets that drinks are brought by servers instead of self serve ones. Wicked fried chicken is my favorite. I always try bone marrow when I visit. Angry Mac and cheese is also good. Creme brûlée and ice cream my favorite desserts. Thank you for featuring it.

[@loblunoxlob]

I love the way you present the review at the end. It's very objective.

[@ShowMeVegas]

Thanks!

Can you do a review on an affordable Krazy Buffet in Vegas? Thanks, Jordan!

[@mikewoodling]

Great video bro! My wife and I ate their 3 times this summer, once in May & twice in July as we had bogo’s we were able to use when we tiered up before Cosmo changed over to MGM (We loved Identity and it feels like we are gonna go from the Cosmopolitan being our most visited resort to us being shut out now due to MGM eliminating all the comp deals we took full advantage of when we would come mid week which is disappointing) we really enjoyed wicked spoon and it was an outstanding bang for your buck when we got to use the Bogo special, idk if I’d pay full price since I had bariatric surgery and therefore can only eat tiny portions, making buffets not worth it for me at full price but we definitely felt it was a huge upgrade in class and quality going to Wicked Spoon over our typical go to which is the Luxor buffet and we absolutely agreed with your assessment that MGM Grand’s buffet is lousy and while My Vegas acts like its an upgrade going there over excalibur or Luxor that is simply not the case. Love your videos as always and keep up the good work! Normally I watch these videos when they drop Sunday mornings but I think we can both agree that Football comes first on Sundays and its a huge bonus having the Sunday video to catch up on in the evening after Sunday Night Football concludes!

[@ShowMeVegas]

Probably going to be moving away from Sunday uploads during football season. The NFL is not competition that we want!

[@martinneumann9345]

Yeah I had 2 free buffets per week and $75-145 a week plus hotel offers. now I am nobody.

[@NoTime-ToSleep]

I commend you on jumping right into the Meat Sweats! Food looked pretty good, but it doesn't look like they clean up much on the bar - looked a bit dirty with a lot of drops and spills. I'd like to give Wicked Spoon a try, but I just can't get past the Wynn Buffet every time I'm in Vegas... I'm spoiled... the Wynn Buffet is sooooooo good and I think worth the extra $$$$... especially if there are fewer screaming kids 🤣🤣🤣 Great video!

[@kosekdemel]

Really enjoyed your honest video. We've never stayed at TI and have thought about it. While any hotel may have these issues, we still may consider staying there because of the Pros you mentioned. How many of these videos do you do of Las Vegas?

[@DUNGSTA]

TI?

[@BrentSm]

Good content.this december our annual LV vacation,my wife and I are looking at different buffets this year

[@ShowMeVegas]

Thanks for watching!

[@d.newland5552]

Thanks for the Wicked Spoon review! If it’s on your radar, I’d love a Cosmopolitan stay review now that MGM is firmly in the saddle. We stayed in October ‘23 and were disappointed at the obvious housekeeping oversights in the hallways (like room service trays not getting picked up with 24 hours). Maybe our experience wasn’t representative…used to be an amazing hotel and still has a great vibe. I’d hate for it to suffer neglect.

[@Jack-ir9tt]

Hey Jordan, I appreciate you uploading abt Wicked spoon since I need more in depth review of what’s like eating there. Also, my birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I was wondering if I’d choose that over the bellagio buffet. Btw I’m a vegas local just so u know.

[@ShowMeVegas]

I would absolutely pick Wicked Spoon over the Bellagio. No contest. Thanks for watching!

[@edward4003]

I had been there three times. The first time it was when it was under old MGMT on NYD and it was decent. The last two times, it had changed to MGM and it had gotten progressively worse. The last time I was there, I left after 30 mins. I don't expect good food at a buffet, but it was just all around bad.

[@leongraham1009]

How much is the buffet on the weekends?

[@ydmf2]

Good vid. Nice job👍

[@TheAyatollahofNofappollah]

13:05 Jeez. Even the buffet is crowded and loud at the Cosmo. I might eat here sometime. It has omelets, bacon and fruit for breakfast. It has salad, meat, vegetables and dessert for dinner. It doesn't take much to rack up $50.00 at a nonbuffet. Thanks. 😊

[@DUNGSTA]

I think it use to cost less than $40...

[@davidgrybb8547]

Whooooooooooooaaa super Delish!!! You just need to move here to Vegas now..❤❤

[@vichyssoise80]

"bone marrow on a buffet is a dicey proposition." Full heartedly agree. Had it at Bacchanal and it was really bad. I normally love bone marrow. I may have to suggest Wicked Spoon to my wife for next year! That or the Wynn. We did Bacchanal this year already.

[@MannyEmm]

The food looks delicious….I am not a fan of buffets, however…only because I tend to overdo it. I would skip the entrees and go straight to the desert! Thank you so much.

[@gcorkgal4167]

MGM Rewards is honoring Wicked Spoon BOGO till the end of the year! Enjoy your videos! Cheers! Gloria in far far West Texas

[@ShowMeVegas]

Thanks so much!

[@orangecrocks]

Based on this video in the condition of that buffet as he walked around with the camera, I would never ever go to that buffet

[@rawasianchicago]

Then I guess you will never go to any buffet, as even Wynn and bacchanal are like that

[@orangecrocks]

@@rawasianchicago I worked as a health inspector in the United States, Navy, and for Carnival Cruise Line. There were far too many red flags that were visible on that video. I’ve never seen anything like that at all and I was at bacchanal last week. This disappointed me as I’ve always thought to try wicked spoon I hope this was an outlier

[@piratepiffvideo]

What are some red flags you saw? I was considering trying this buffet because I thought the food looked good, but I wouldn't know what to look for as a health inspector.

[@grottorabbit]

Buffalo Bill's Buffet is way cleaner than this.

[@JacobWilson-od1nd]

Your not that guy pal, your not that guy.

[@ShirleyBradbury-xz7qz]

Are you sure that was a sardine? Traditionally they use anchovies

[@ShowMeVegas]

Could go either way. Anchovies typically have more of a reddish meat, where as sardines are always white meat. Either way it was disgusting!

[@ShirleyBradbury-xz7qz]

@@ShowMeVegas LOL I get it. I was just wondering

[@BirteK1975]

Honestly, I like the Excalibur buffet a lot better than Wicked Spoon.

[@vickistebel9340]

I had a horrible experience there last time and will never go back. Their dishes are small and heavy and you can't really stack anything up. I could only hold two small plates (I am handicapped) and when I got back to my table with it, a server bumped into me. The syrup for my waffle toppled, hitting me, my clothes, my watch, my purse, my pants, my sandals and my nearby scooter in the process. The server went and got a wet rag, and wiped the carpeting where the last 2 drops of syrup landed. She left me covered in syrup with no wet rag for me. I complained and she came back and dumped a rag on the table. She also never apologized for bumping me in the first place. No one offered any comps. I had to throw away both the shoes and the purse. And I looked like a homeless person with the syrup all in my clothes all the way back to the Bellagio on my scooter. It was embarrassing! I was NOT happy. And to me, the food was not exciting and most things had been sitting out too long. Two thumbs down here.

[@Onetwothreepeanuts]

😂😂😂

[@DUNGSTA]

Next time don't try to carry too many plates at a time. I'm not handicap and I only carry one plate at a time!

[@ladyluckslots1489]

Public service announcement- try the gelato! It is soooo good!

[@whiv]

Food looks amazing!!!!

[@lindablake6022]

Stayed at the cosmopolitan for a week in October 2024. Didnt try the wicked spoon until last night. Had a wonderful buffett experience, but noticed most buffetts including this one only are open until 2:00 in the afternoon. Does any know why??

[@ShowMeVegas]

Most of them re-opened after the pandemic offering only brunch. The remaining dinner buffets are mostly the extremely high priced, like Bacchanal and Wynn. Most likely because the casinos aren't interested in losing money on buffets anymore.

those fortune cookies were about the best thing we had when we ate there recently

[@ShowMeVegas]

That’s unfortunate. My meal was good not great.

You must of been drunk or sick

[@Allthingshotels]

Wicked Spoon's dessert section is always where they seem to shine.

[@Lauren88O8]

You mentioned the Asian section at Cosmo didn't speak to you, and I agree. The only Asian food from a buffet on the strip that speaks to me is the Bachannal buffet at Ceasars Palace. The Asian section at the Wynn buffet is nothing to write home about also. Love all your videos!

[@ShowMeVegas]

I actually really liked the Asian section at Wynn, but I would agree the Bacchanal has the best one. Thanks for watching!

[@emtdragon]

Went there a few years ago and wasn't that impressed, not much to choose for picky eaters like me, and the staples they had were not very good at all. The deserts were the saving grace, otherwise I would avoid it, some people love it, I am not one of those. But I do love and enjoy your content, keep it up please!

I'm requesting a "cute counter" in the next buffet video now 😂

I eat there because they cater to food allergies better than any other buffet

Thats definitely worth 50
