(Upbeat music)
- Good morning everyone.
We are at the Wicked Spoon Buffet.
So for my research of the buffets in Las Vegas,
this is one of the top three,
if not the best buffet in Las Vegas.
So I'm really looking forward to it.
Happy birthday to me on my buffet tour of Vegas.
(upbeat music)
- They have- They have pizza!
- [Chris] They have pizza?
- Bacon!
- [Chris] You found the bacon?
- Yeah!
- [Jessica] Okay. I don't know how to pick the best bacon
but there you go. Bacon.
- [Chris] That's a lot of bacon.`
- [Jessica] I dunno how people eye that!
- That's so much bacon.
- [Jessica] I don't know what's normal.
- [Chris] Is that a lot of bacon?
You ready to eat it?
- Yeah! - [Chris] let's go eat it.
(Intro music)
- So far I'm really grateful
that Christopher got us reservations.
I think he just prepaid for us to go and got a reservation
and our line had like one person in front of us.
The main line just to enter is really long looking.
Yesterday at the Wynn we also had reservations
and we walked right in.
But I didn't see a line in general.
I- I- I don't know if everybody had reservations
or if there just wasn't a line.
(Funky music)
- [Chris] Thai cream, curry muscles,
Singapore noodles, kung-pow tofu.
Here's all the clarified butter, lemons.
So much warm crab. That's a lot.
Fresh seafood in aioli. Wicked vegetable pizza.
Ruben-izza, cheese pizza. It says shrimp and grits.
Buttermilk pancakes. Wicked cinnamon french toast.
Spring lentil salad, baby carrots, bacon.
Fried chicken. Carving station.
It's called angry mac and cheese.
Bone marrow, it's braised short rib, pickled red onion
and lemon Gemalta? Gamalta? I think that's how you say it.
Cream spinach over here. Pork carnitas.
Vegetable samosa. Delicious looking kale salad.
Black bean hummuny-hummus, beef and lamb hero,
chick pea masala, tuna crudo back here.
Apple Pharaoh salad, Bahn mi salad.
Beef tataki. These are the Italian chopped salads.
They also have a ramen station where you build your own
like ramen bowl and an omelet station
where they'll make an omelet to order.
- Okay. So crab legs, warm crab legs
and they had lemon wedges and drawn butter at the station
and they also had that guy at the station.
So this is already looking very promising.
Very nicely done. I'm so excited
- I- I have crab legs. Look at this crab legs right here!
- [Chris] What do you like on it?
You like lemon butter both?
- Lemon. Butter. And also salt.
- This is the big test. See how they open.
Yes. This is the very first one I tried.
This is the thing of beauty. I'm so excited
- I got this.
- [Chris] How's your food Teddy?
This is Bailey's first time trying bone marrow.
- It's not working. Okay. Oh here we go.
Here we- Oh, it just all came out.
- [Jessica] Milk, water.
- [Waiter] Just a regular milk right?
- [Jessica] Yes. Just a regular milk.
- I don't know how I feel about that,
I don't know, maybe not my favorite thing.
- Stand out performances for me.
Everything in the meat station with the chimichurri sauce.
A hundred percent. I really like the kale salad.
Really good food. This, this is the, if I'm gonna
like hurt myself from eating too much, it's gonna be here.
Luke, what's your favorite thing on your plate?
- Pineapple.
- [Chris] Pineapple?
(Transitional music)
- [Chris] Alright, let's check out the desserts.
We got Pina Colada, gluten-free chocolate chip muffin
gluten-free chocolate chip cookies.
These are apple turnover. Chocolate croissant.
Custard donut, chocolate hazelnut, mini donut,
cheesecake shot, chocolate passion fruit,
creme brulee, molten lava chocolate cake, coconut macaroons,
mini cone, carrot bunt cake, salted caramel ganache tart.
What is that?
- This is like, I don't know, it's like a fruity pebbles.
It looks amazing.
- [Chris] It's like a rice crispies treat
with fruity pebbles in it.
- I know. I'm so excited.
- [Chris] You're shaking, you're shaking.
- I know.
Birthday cake trail
- [Chris] How's the food here?
- Good. I like the mango ice cream and the toffee ice cream.
- And the spark water.
- [Chris] Did you have a little gelato?
- A Lot of gelato.
- [Chris] Duncan mostly ate crab for two hours.
He ate crab and now he is having a little gelato.
How's the gelato?
Is it good?
Oh nice.
Did you like the crab?
- I was done with my crab, my two plates
and Duncan was still in the crab for a long time.
- I really enjoyed like all of the sushi.
I had a bunch of sushi.
I really liked the apple cobbler. I put vanilla gelato
on top and it was really really nice.
And yeah, it's really nice here.
I really like it.
- So my thought about The Wicked Spoon is that
they really went for quality over quantity.
They have a lot, they have so much food, but they do have
I believe that there's less than what they have at The Wynn.
I spent a lot of today kind of comparing and contrasting.
So The Wynn has a beautiful ambiance.
It's pretty and bright. It feels like Disneyland.
The seating is more separated.
I think everybody has equal access and good access
to the buffet, but you can't see everybody.
Whereas here at The Wicked Spoon
I don't like the ambiance as much.
It's very yellow.
They're going for a modern vibe.
Everything about this place is very classy except
I feel like it's more of a like a cafeteria seating almost.
So I do feel like they were really missing
the nice ambiance that The Wynn has.
But the quality of the food here is at
a higher level for sure.
It's really good. I don't think that there was anything
that I had that I was kind of like meh over.
Whereas at The Wynn there were clear winners.
Also the crab here is served warm
and it was very easy to get out of its shell.
Whereas at The Wynn, the crab that they had was
the sort of smaller legs of the Dungeoness.
It was cold and they didn't stock it that frequently.
I felt like every time I'd go over there it was sort of like
it looked like the remains of a nice display
as opposed to a big full display.
I love that we've had both experiences.
I really think that The Wynn was so beautiful
and this is- it just feels like cafeteria style.
It feels kind of, I know they're trying to be more modern
and the rest of the hotel looks very modern
but it feels dated and like yellow
and just not as nice to me.
Also the line at The Wynn, I did not see a line at all.
Whereas here they had a very long line to get in.
I'm so glad that we made the reservation.
Highly recommended.
It was not hard to do.
- All right, we're all done at the Wicked spoon.
Really good. Tomorrow we go to the Bacchanal Buffet.
So be sure to check that out tomorrow.
And now we're gonna go back to our hotel
and get ready to go see the show: O.
(Transitional music)
- All right. We are back at Treasure Island.
We've been here for a little bit. We got dressed up.
It's time now for us to go to the show: O.
- Sometimes shows don't allow children
under the age of five into them.
For Teddy's reasons back there.
He's, he's very fussy right now because it is his bedtime
and we couldn't get tickets for Luke and Teddy for this one.
I don't believe they allow children five and under.
- Love sparkle water.
- [Jessica] You love blueberry sparkle water?
- Mhm.
- Me too.
- [Chris] You know who's just old enough to go to this show?
- [Jessica] Hey! This guy
- [Jessica] Bellagio
- You ready to go to The Bellagio?
Let's go. Let's do it.
(Transitional music)
- I'm very excited about this one.
I've heard this a very, very good show.
(chill music)
- We are in the theater to see O.
- I'm so excited!
- It is magnificent. This is,
the theater is a thing of beauty. Look above me already.
Like what?
- Look at- I- I bet someone's gonna come down from that roof
because it's like spiraled. So I bet someone's gonna like
fling from that onto like the
- I have high expectations of people twirly-twirling
from this beautiful ceiling. It's huge in here.
Look at the stage
And it smells like a pool.
- It does.
- I have never seen this show before.
I have heard just absolute incredible reviews for it.
I- everybody always raves about it and I- it's-
I'm so excited.
- I know
- I know that there is water. I know there's a lot of water.
I don't know how it all works though. Look at this.
Okay, so like this is a very tall curtain and it's rounded
and we're in really good seats where I feel
like I'm kind of glad we have some height
and we're also like we can see the thing above us
pretty well. It's not in front of us.
You know, I don't know if I can explain that well
like we will have to kind of like look back
if something happens up there.
But at the same time, like I feel like we're
in a good spot where like we won't miss things going
on behind us. I'm really excited. Are you excited?
- Yes. I'm so excited!
This is like such a special show that you can only see like
at this theater and at this hotel. So it's like-
- Do you hear the dripping noises?
- I think it's about to start.
- So I don't know what everybody else is gonna say
but to me that was easily the best live performance
than anything I've ever seen ever
- Ever in this world.
- I've never seen like the stagecraft, the-
- From one minute in.
- Oh yeah, the curtain opening was amazing.
- Like they could have stopped there
and I would've been like money well spent.
- Yes, yes.
It was so good And it kept going
and it kept getting it more and more. It was fantastic.
- Wild, wild, wild. Okay.
This is what I was thinking about the whole time.
I was thinking about history and like the Globe Theater
and the Coliseum and these just these incredible places
of entertainment that I feel like are of the past.
And you go, man, what would it have been like to
have seen something in the Coliseum?
And you kind of think like at this point in civilization
like we would have this thing that we're so proud
of that we're like, oh yeah.
But I don't feel like there is a thing that is as
monumental seeming as like the Coliseum
or the Globe theater.
And I know there are many coliseums,
but you know what I mean?
Like they're just these huge incredible things
of the past that you're like, wow and this, this was it.
Like, 200 years from now, I hope people are talking
about this place and this show and being like
"This is what they did here. Can you believe this?
This is where that spot was".
I know we have arenas and we have Broadway, but like
I feel like Broadway and the West End there are
many wonderful theaters, but there isn't like
one that's specific that's like recognizable.
Or maybe there is if you live in New York or London
but to me there isn't as much.
And this one, this is like
if you pull it all apart,
it's gonna be so interesting looking.
It's like- it's wild. This stage is wild.
This whole, the whole setup is wild.
The performers are incredible.
The- the effects are incredible.
The all the things going on everywhere. Incredible.
This was such a spectacle.
Like it deserves all the awards, all the Oscars
all the Emmys, all the gra- It gets it's egot like so great.
Like everything belongs to this show.
And it should be like we should be heralding it
and we should be talking about it. I don't know,
we should be like screaming it to the rooftops
that this show was amazing
and Miss Sierra was incredible too.
But like this show was out of this world.
The whole stage was out of this world.
- She's not just saying that cause I'm very like reserved
with what I say.
I, and honestly, it was like the best show I've ever seen.
- It was really good. The stage was crazy
and I thought that it was really good.
- I thought it was cool how like we were, we're sitting
and there was like a stage part,
and then behind it there's just like darkness.
Like you could tell the stage kept going
but you didn't know where it stopped.
I thought that was really cool.
- I loved how you could see people just peeking out
of the top of the stage and you could see people like
about to jump. I really liked that.
- At one point, Duncan was like, why isn't that person dead?
There was somebody very much on fire
and he was like, shouldn't they be dead? I was like-
- [Chris] Even all the entrances and exits,
like they just disappear under the water
or appear from under the water.
- Incredible - [Chris] Or from the sky.
- I kept thinking about how that must be constructed.
I wanna, I wanna know. It's incredible.
And I wanted to say it is very fun to sit next to Parker
during all of this because he's saying like
"That was a double pike".
Like he knows all these terms and he knows the
like the artistry behind all of the moves
and you get to hear like, oh, "That that was a big one.
That was important".
Or like, I know the things he's worked towards
and what that would mean to him.
To see somebody doing like that move
or like even more than that move and you know,
in the water, in the sky all over the place.
So that- that's really fun because he- he gives me
a little bit of the the terminology
and makes it a little more exciting.
- I don't know what to say. It was, it was incredible.
I loved it. I loved it so much.
- Seriously. Seriously.
I have been to a lot of live performances
of all different kinds.
Magic, juggling, musical performances.
Honestly the best thing I've ever seen, it was so good.
(upbeat music)
- Alright, we came over to Paris to have crepes
at a crepe stand and they closed as soon as we walked up.
So we ended up just seeing if we could get into
the Eiffel Tower restaurant
and they just walked us right in. And it's amazing.
- I feel like this place is like the secret
of Las Vegas because it is just the most incredible view.
And not only that, like not only is a great city view
but you get to see the Bellagio Water Show
like right in front of you every 15 minutes.
So when you go at night and the water sh- that-
I don't know what it's called
but when the water effects show is happening, it's like
it's right in front of us in the perfect view.
And you get this whole pan, like
you get this whole view of the water show. It's incredible.
You have, you have to check this place out.
It's- it's amazing. And I, I don't know,
maybe everybody knows about this
because I don't know anything about Las Vegas, but like, I-
I am shocked right now like this.
I feel like I've discovered the-
the hidden secret of Las Vegas.
How was your food my love?
- It was amazing.
- [Jessica] It was so good, wasn't it?
- Yes.
- [Jessica] How was yours?
- It was really good. They made it extra good for me.
- I thought it was really good. I got a french onion soup
and I had a little bit of the tiramisu
and it was really good.
- [Jessica] Duncan fell asleep
- Past his bedtime for sure.
- We were talking about how with the view
and the ambiance and sort of the look of it all
it really could have just been a gimmick and
and been expensive food that was eh.
But the food was so authentic and delicious
and it was just, it was fabulous.
Like it seriously, one of the best meals I think of my life.
I had salmon, which I often get and it was incredible.
Like, I was like, did they really give me the salmon?
Like I had to double check
and look at it because the flavors were new to me
and it was just, it was such an amazing meal.
I got a chocolate souffle as my little birthday treat
and it was perfect. It was just, it was all so good.
