text: As a buffet connoisseur kind of an oxymoron like jumbo shrimp or Walmart snob and as someone who has gone to Vegas about once a year for the past years I have been to pretty much every buffet in Vegas some many times So how does Wicked Spoon compare to the Bellagio Gourmet Buffet weekends only which is still the best buffet in Vegas Not very wellnnWhen you go to a buffet that costs almost you are really not looking for variations on say chicken preparation You can get chicken for under a couple of bucks a pound at almost any supermarket Or at least if you are you should not be shelling out for a buffet just go to Old Country or Golden CorralnnAt a buffet you are looking for a large selection of relatively expensive foods At the Bellagio Gourmet Buffet which I went to one night before Wicked Spoon there was Peking duck prime rib Chilean sea bass kobe beef sushi with actual raw fish poke sashimi prepared Hawaiian style etc you cannot find a single one of these items at more pedestrian buffetsnnWhat do you get at Wicked Spoon Only prime rib that is above ordinary and then fairly ordinary ingredients prepared slightly fancifully and presented in uppity small metal containers that are made in France It is just not really close and it is only something one appreciates if one is not a true foodie and loves pretensennGo to the Bellagio
