  • Join us on an adventure that spans two resort cities in Nevada: Reno and Las Vegas. We begin with a full tour of the Peppermill Reno, a beautiful resort that had its origins as a coffee shop half a century ago. We'll do a room tour, pool tour, have dinner at Biscotti's, and take a turn through the casino. And then, we head back home to Las Vegas, and a visit to that OTHER Peppermill, the one on Las Vegas Blvd! We'll do drinks and appetizers in the fabulous and historic Fireside Lounge - it's like stepping into a movie.

    "Wonderful people" and "Everybody is super-nice" doesn't just apply to the employees of the two Peppermills, but it is also a perfect description of the great hosts of this channel, Paula and Dale. Paula, you are too young to retire, as you are full of life and energy! (says the guy who couldn't wait to retire at the age of 65 😄). Another delightful video, with beautiful photography, and excellent editing 👍 Thank you both, and I hope you boot your cold to the curb, Dale!

    I usually stay at the Western Village in Sparks, NV (another sister Peppermill Property) when I go to the Reno area. Always visit the main Peppermill while I'm there, of course. Peppermill employees are among the best in the business. The Peppermill Reno is a top-notch property, and everyone needs to visit!

We always visit all the casinos around Reno/Sparks area when we visit.. Restaurants at WV are very nice, too

    We stay at the Peppermill at least once a month. 4 hours over and back make it a quick 3 day trip. We don’t drink or gamble but we just love the resort as a get away.
    Sign up as a “frequent flyer” and you will get flyers every month for the “ FREE Rooms”. With that we pay about $50 a night for a Tuscany Suite. We really don’t care for LV so looks we will keep our monthly trip to Reno in check.
    I was disappointed not seeing anything about the LV Peppermills rooms.
    My husband and I retired a year ago. My hubs just took a Golf Pro teaching position. We get to go far and wide hitting golf courses.

I loved this video and was impressed with the Pepper Mill. The economy will return as Jimmy Carter put us in the same problems. Ronald Reagan brought us out of a recession and I believe it will follow suit. Thank you for your videos as they are well done and captures the memories of years past.

    Dale I am not sure how this video got into my feed but I was very excited to see it. I worked at the Peppermill for a few years and had a great impression of the establishment and the owners. Their reputation is stellar. Yes, the Peppermill is a great place to work.
    Your narrated tour of the’Mill’ was accurate and very detailed. Great job!
    If I could add anything it would be this; the photos and videos you mentioned are from all over the world. Not a single one is purchased. They are each unique and carefully orchestrated by Joe Ness who handles this department. He works directly for Bill P. A few seconds of video captured in Africa has taken weeks of planning and a crew of 5-6. I could only estimate the amount it cost for all that.

    I try to visit the Reno area annually because I love skiing in Tahoe. I enjoy the Peppermill for its decor and vibrancy. If I recall, some nice gift shops, too.
    Peppermilll also owns Western Village in Sparks (next door to Reno) and I try to visit there when I'm in the area. Western Village is a great place for low rolling (I don't think they even have a high limits room), and it has a nice sportsbook. But the reason I like to visit there is for a meal at their 24 hour coffee shop, Cafe Bellini. Try the green chile chicken soup!

I was at the Mirage hotel last week when that tragedy happened inside the hotel I literally was standing on the casino floor when it went on Lock down and surrounded by police but Mrs Paula I must say I'm so proud the way the Mirage hotel and Las Vegas police handled the situation, it was an isolated incident though tragic none the less.

Beautiful room that Tuscany King Suite! The pool are looks fabulous. The casino floor looks like a lot of fun. "Home Means Nevada." I kind of agree with that.

    Been to the Peppermill once in Vegas - but it really is a great place! The one in Reno looks absolutely amazing! Dale & Paula - pulling the trigger on retirement is VERY difficult. It's been 11 months for me - I know I made the right decision, but with the markets - it is very concerning. If you're at the very least content with where you work - it's probably a good choice to continue working for a year or so when we're on the other side when we will be in recovery.
