"Since opening in 1972 the Peppermill and its 24‑hour Fireside Lounge have been a Strip staple with neon, kitschy fake trees and mirrored ceilings; it’s a cinematic spot (CSI and Showgirls filmed there), a Rat Pack hangout back in the day, and one of those places where ordering a martini served in a long straw at the fire pit feels like a necessary Sin City experience." - Eater Staff
"This classic Vegas restaurant used to be open all day prior to the pandemic; but it’s now open 24 hours on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On weekends, you can sit inside the cheery blossom and neon-lined restaurant and order oversized plates of fruit-topped waffles, towering burgers, and savory pasta dishes. Or step inside the vintage velvet-enrobed Fireside Lounge and order a mudslide to sip from the fire-and-water-centered conversation pit. It’s a certified classic — even the James Beard Award Foundation recognized it as such." - Janna Karel
"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." - brant cox
"Visiting the Peppermill Restaurant and Fireside Lounge means going all in on ambiance — even if the food leans classic diner. Skip the main room and turn left into the Fireside Lounge, where you can sink into a neon-lit booth, perch at the bar, or lounge in the sunken conversation pit by the flaming fire feature. Sure, you could order a martini. But beneath mirrored ceilings and faux trees, why not lean in and go for a mudslide? Signature cocktails arrive in goblets the size of soccer balls, with straws so long you could sip while standing. It’s kitschy, iconic, and absolutely worth the stop. Even the James Beard Award Foundation certified the Peppermill as a classic." - Janna Karel
