"Peppermill answers the question, “What would happen if somebody took a roadside diner, filled it with some trees, and hired the EDC tech team to light the place?” The ’50s-era institution is actually two separate spaces. Up front, there’s an all-day restaurant where hungover tourists and biker gangs split omelets drenched in marinara sauce. In the back, you’ll find a psychedelic drinking den with disco-tiled ceilings and sunken booths surrounding elaborate water features. Head to the diner when you can’t take another expensive casino buffet, but if you’re short on time, just go to the lounge. It’s an over-the-top fantasy that only gets better after a few scorpion bowls." - emmy kasten, brant cox, andrew ryce
