Peppermill in Reno never mentioned here?
Does anyone have any recent experiences at the Peppermill? I know they seem to rely on country music for the "shows" and figure it caters to the San Francisco crowd vs. so many from Los Angeles going to Las Vegas. Judging by the emails, one might think it's a classy place.
Thanks in advance for any experiences, positive or negative.
I did enjoy my experience however limited it was. Seemed like a nice casino overall.
My second visit, I stayed three nights at Peppermill to attend a convention. (I got a great deal on the rooms, booking a Southwest Vacations package two months in advance. Three nights added only $100 to the airfare alone. The convention block rate was $139/night.) I got a room on the second floor in the north tower that was pretty small but otherwise was clean and accommodating. Only complaint about the room is the amount of noise that can be heard from the hallway, adjacent rooms and outside.
I didn't bring much gambling money and lost $500 on the first night in about an hour, playing the don't at a craps table. Cafe Milano has a "comfort food" menu that is reasonably priced (all 9 items are either $8 or $9.) My only "complaint" is that they have neither sweet tea nor Coke beverages. Across the street from the casino are two more good dining options that I enjoyed, Clary's Bar & Grill and Ruby River steakhouse (same disclaimer for the lack of this southern boy's soft drink preferences.)
I would say that overall, Peppermill is more of a posh, classy place. Maybe not as much as Wynn or Caesar's Palace, but more so than say Excalibur or MGM Grand. I like Peppermill and would definitely go more often if I lived closer. Another offer came in the mail recently for two nights in a "luxurious suite" and two tickets to the UNLV Rebels vs. University of Reno Wolf Pack game.

I thought I read a series of recent reviews of hotels in Reno, by you? I'll go check again.

Yes indeed...it was a series of various hotels in Reno posted by "Pokeraddict". Sorry about that, the mind is the first thing to go. I leaped to the assumption based on my memory of the world "Poker..." and having so many of your fine reviews on the chip thread, well just got lost in it all. Have a nice day.

I can understand about the sweet tea. That's a southern thing. However, no Coke beverages? Did they have Pepsi products but no Coca Cola?

It's changed a lot in the last 20 years. In 2007, they opened a brand new tower (Tuscany) with easily the biggest, fanciest suites in Northern Nevada. Since about 2007, they've remodeled all the old rooms, remodeled the casino, and built a completely new pool. Their pool is the nicest pool in Reno, though it's not nearly as impressive as some of the fancier pools in Las Vegas.
Before the remodel, the Peppermill was really gaudy, garish, tacky. (If you had never been to a casino, it would fit the stereotype of what a casino looks like in Hollywood movies: a dizzying maze of loud neon.) But the remodel has softened the garishness somewhat, they're trying to look more sophisticated.
Did it work? Are they more sophisticated? Of course not, it's still Reno.
There are two distinct hotels there - the Peppermill towers are crappy and smoky. The Tuscany is far, far, far better, with smoke free floors, much nicer bedding, marble bathrooms, and general luxury.
PepperMill casino itself is nice but I wouldn't go far to say it was anything close to Bellagio/Wynn/Venice, but more of Mirage / TI / Ballys experience. Lots of good VP and good odds on most games, much better than what you could find on the strip and far better than what any CET property would ever offer. Loyalty program is pretty good and they have lots of promotions and free nights back then.
Quote: WizardofnothingPepper mill has nice rooms strictly in the new tower. The sports book is really nice byt lower limits . The restaurants are sub par to say the least - when comparing to Vegas food it does not hold a candle. Vp has great pay tables. Comps are decent promotions are terrible as well as any offers are not even worth mentioning. Service was good and they have a great homemade chip which in the lobby coffee - gelato stand. Have a great clothing store with name brands that accept your comps - but other then that nothing to do besides gamble. Won't have any luck with strip clubs as the one down the strip is terrible. Also don't try and find female company as they are worse then any city in the country . Not that I have but cough cough don't use Eros or backpage in Reno period
Are you referring to police stings or just "dogs".
