Wicked Spoon Buffet - The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

Upscale Buffet Dining at the Heart of the Vegas Strip

Located inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Wicked Spoon Buffet redefines the classic Vegas buffet with a modern, elevated twist. Just steps from many of the city's iconic concert venues, this stylish spot combines a cool, contemporary vibe with a wide-ranging lineup of bold American and international flavors. It's not your average buffet—expect thoughtfully plated small portions and a chic dining space that feels more boutique hotel than all-you-can-eat frenzy.

Why Concert-goers love it

Pre-show hunger doesn’t stand a chance here. Wicked Spoon’s quick service and massive variety make it a top pick for music lovers on a tight schedule. Whether you’ve got an early show or a late-night set, the flexible hours and convenient location inside The Cosmopolitan mean you’re never far from the action. The noise level stays comfortably moderate too—lively, but not overwhelming—so you can still chat about setlists while digging into your third plate.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends who want to try a little of everything before the headliner hits the stage
• Solo travelers who want a quick, satisfying meal without sacrificing quality
• Couples looking for a more upscale buffet experience to start their concert night
• Fans wanting a lively pre-show space with drinks and energy to match
• Budget-conscious music fans who want to get their money’s worth from a single meal

What People Say

Diners rave about the innovative small-plate format and the unexpected gourmet touches you won’t find in other buffets. From Korean fried chicken to truffle mac and cheese, the food is praised for both quality and presentation. Many love the clean, stylish atmosphere and the ability to sample a wide range of flavors without long waits. Reviewers often note the value for the price, especially if you're hungry and ready to explore.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the wait times can be long, especially on weekends or right before major shows—reservations or off-peak visits help. A few also note that drink service can be a bit slow during busy periods. And while it's a buffet, the pricing is on the higher side, so it might not suit every budget.

The Bottom Line

If you want variety, quality, and style just steps from the Strip’s top concert venues, Wicked Spoon is a smart—and delicious—pre-show pick.
