text: I have heard many people talk about this buffet as being one of the best in Vegas I live in Vegas so I have tried many buffets I love the Cosmo It is a beautiful hotel with lovely rooms right in the middle of the strip I have to say I was really really disappointed in the buffet We went today for Sunday brunch My partner got a comp but we did not realize that because it is a holiday weekend their prices were almost double the normal price My fault As a Vegas resident I should have known better We expected to pay about per person but it was so we ended up paying over out of pocket in addition even a comped meal does not get you ahead of the long line waiting to get in You have to be a VIP of their casino club for that Okay our mistake on the cost After waiting endlessly in line I was sure that it would be worth the wait Being a holiday buffet should mean some really good food choicesTheir gimmick here is small tasting portions in little bowls pans and pots I like that idea but many of the items were weird combinations that did not look or sound appetizing to me I love breakfast buffets because I can have a little of a lot of breakfast foods I love french toast but it was mushy and inedible There were red velvet pancakes that had a good taste with a bavarian creme to put on top but maybe because they were so thin and small they were kind of hard so I did not get more than one Also the Bavarian creme container was almost empty and my second time around had not yet been refilled There did not seem to be anything normal there No regular pancakes Eggs Benedict No a salmon Benedict and a beef Benedict but no regular Canadian bacon Benedict Angry mac and cheese spicy did not like wasabi mashed potatoes again not to my liking spaghetti but with scallops and weird looking noodles The pork loin was bland The homemade Italian sausage at the carving station was pink inside yuck There was a whole section of Asian food sushi and Chinese dishes Not my favorite so I cannot comment but one of my companions loves sushi and was not impressed No Mexican fare For the price we paid I was sure there would be crab legs or shrimp entrees Nope Nothing that really justified the price tag I AM GOING TO They had shrimp cocktail in small tasting cups so if shrimp is your thing you would need to take a lot of cups I am a dessertaholic so when the meal was not that great I still had hopes for the desserts I was disappointed there as well The cakes were dried out and just okay There was a pistachio cake carrot cake chocolate bundt and cheese cake A chocolate lava cake with raspberry sauce on the bottom did not have a liquid chocolatey middle like most lava cakes I have had There were some danishes strawberry and Nutella and cookies and tarts The best were the chocolate covered strawberries They were large and covered in chocolate and either Heath bar pieces or Oreo crumbs The desserts were not bad but they were not outstanding either After waiting a long time to go to this place and spending the equivalent of the best thing I can say is that now that I have been there I will never be tempted to go again
