Current info on Cosmo?

#1

Making my first visit there next week, and just looking for general feedback. Recommendation for casual food, any tips from others who have stayed there, etc. Searching the messages, I didn't see much that was current.

I did browse the database - looks like most of the best plays are in the high denoms. I'm mostly $1-2 VP, and like multiplays on the $1. Anyone know their best pay tables for DDB?

Also, how is the temperature in the casino? Looks like the weather will be hot, and I want to pack light, but some places keep it very cold indoors!

Thanks in advance for any info.

The Cosmo has some of the best casual dining options on the Strip.

Possibly the best is the "hidden" Pizzeria, which is on the third floor. The place is tiny and offers the best pizza ever at a Strip hotel.

Holstein's offers excellent burgers (including non-beef burgers) and shakes.

And some think Wicked Spoon is the best buffet in Las Vegas (I haven't tried it). Not as big a spread as Bellagio or Wynn, but many consider the food quality better.

There are plenty of upscale options, too (Jaleo, Scarpetta, etc.) -- the Cosmopolitan has done a better job on its restaurant scene than its paytables.

That pizza is top notch. They also sell PBR there.

Indeed, I thought Wicked Spoon to be the best buffet I have ever been to. I had breakfast there, but there were plenty of lunch and dinner items there, even at 9am. It's a cross between a buffet and a cafeteria, in that you (obviously) are at a buffet, but the food is prepared to be taken away as an individual serving. Instead of a big bin of fried chicken where you use tongs to get a piece, they come in individual tiny fryers. Chinese comes in small chinese take-out containers, etc. Breakfast had the standard omelet bar, plenty of pastries (including pretzel bread, my favorite), lots of fruit and upscale cheeses (I loaded my plate with brie). I didn't eat very much, and can't even remember half of what I saw, but it was varied, and a pretty big selection. Lots of dinner options, too, though I didn't really look all that closely since that was not what I was in the mood for. The desert area has a gelato bar with 20 different flavors, and all kinds of deserts that are just pretty to look at (a mini chocolate "ice cream" cone was made of various kinds of chocolate and topped with gold leaf, for instance). Personally, I loved the fudge. Wicked Spoon is top-notch, definitely check it out.
