The Wicked Spoon Buffet at Cosmopolitan Hotel & Casino.

At the Wicked Spoon you don't need to worry about filling up on one thing too quickly or accidentally getting a large helping of something you don't really like. The decor is modern and elegant with warm brown, orange and gold colors.Most items are served in a reasonable portion size on a small individual plate or in a tiny individual metal saucepan.

Much like any buffet, the Wicked Spoon is divided into sections, beginning with a salad area. Don't expect traditional buffet fare here though. Instead of lettuce, dressing and toppings, you'll find Italian panzanella bread salad, chickpea salad, hummus and pita slices and a nice selection of pungent cheeses.

The Wicked Spoon has a traditional carving station, serving things like prime rib and pork, but you'll also find out-of-the-ordinary items like roasted bone marrow and lamb. There are a wide variety of side dishes to accompany the meat. Don't miss the truffled scalloped potatoes and "angry" mac and chesse, which has a smoky, chipotle flavor.

Diners will also find a seafood station, an Italian food area and an Asian station. Save room for the massive dessert selection, which includes cake pops, pastries, cookies and even sugar-free confections. The highlight is the gelato bar which serves the rich, creamy Italian treat in a wide variety of flavors including strawberry balsamic and a mouthwatering salted caramel peanut.
