It was low enough key for us yet still fun, it was packed and we first sat on a corner edge by the fire the only seats open and it was overwhelmingly HOT by the fire even though the ambiance is lovely. We got super lucky when a couple of ladies left before the countdown so we moved to a table. It was still decorated like Christmas inside and it was super cute. We all LOVED our drinks mine was like a boozy (honestly was there even booze in it lol) milkshake and I tried my friends, one was a special holiday drink "sugar plum fairy" which was sweeter and yummy and other friend got a baileys based martini also very yummy. I can't remember exact names but see pics haha. Really made me wanna come back for that milkshake drink sooner than the once a year or every two years I prob make it in here. For the Older crowd.

I'm here inside the Peppermill Casino, somewhere I don't usually come when in Reno. But a local…read morefriend wanted to take me to dinner at that fancy Chinese place they have here called Chi. So, after dinner he wanted to take me to this fancy Fireside Lounge for drinks after dinner. It was hella hard to find, but we did finally. It's near the Italian place called Romanza. It's supposed to be like the old school fireplace lounges the Peppermill restaurants used to have. I don't think there's any Peppermill restaurants around anymore, just this casino. My friend told me all locals get 20% off at any of the restaurants, so that's kinds cool. Inside this lounge, it's really on the dark side and there's lots of soft puffy couches and love seats. If you wanted a dark booth to make out in, this is the place! There's nice seating around the gas fireplace if you want, but those seats go fast on busy nights. I thought the music was kinda loud, but that might just be me. I don't think there's much food served in here, just fancy drinks before the making out starts! They have there monster big bowl drinks to share like a Scorpion, I think full of rum and other stuff. That thing's gonna be a headache in the morning! It was fun staying for a round of drinks, we got one of the darker booths ... you know for making out! Check it out, if you can find the lounge!

I appreciate the back patio to get some fresh air, and the bartenders are always pretty quick to get drinks. I've not eaten here yet but looking forward to trying it, but for concerts it's a great spot and already looking forward to my next show!

I like that they provide a big cooler of water for people to fill their cups. Another customer lit up a joint in front of my two 12 year olds. I wasn't too crazy about that, for their first all ages show, but it's Reno I guess. To their credit, I explained the situation and they quickly & respectfully extinguished. (Now I'm a Karen, dang...) We didn't try the food, but the drinks were reasonably priced. Great selection of beers & cider on tap. Super nice employees. Excellent sound quality. Looking forward to seeing another show in the near future!!

I really enjoyed my Friday night venture out in Sparks with one of my favorite drink spots-…read moreTipsy's. A friend and I had discussed venturing somewhere for drinks and Tipsys was what popped in my head. Low and behold it was ladies night even better. I had saw a cotton candy drink and showed it to my friend and that was all the convincing that was needed! It was the perfect chill and relaxing vibe after a long and busy week. I love the glow of the place and the music was good. There was even security on site which is always good. We were fortunate enough to have Valerie the owner behind the counter, during my very first time to Tipsy's she was behind the counter. Most of the drinks for ladies night were $10, there were some really fun ones that were outside of that that are on my list for next time including a ducky in a bathtub, and even having a cocktail in a purse. I enjoyed chatting and commending Valerie for her and her families' creative business ventures. I loved learning about a new business soon to open- the Social Club which will be on Victorian. I love how more nightlife is coming to downtown Sparks to revitalize the area down there. I had been in the area and saw the signage and got super excited. I even learned that Señor Tequila's was a family member's business wow- so cool! I thought the drink- which was a special - Daydreaming which consisted of mango, passionfruit and prosecco. It was a beautifully served drink and tasted amazing. My friend even asked Valerie for some extra cotton candy and she was sweet enough to serve us extra in cups. Totally would have stayed to try more cocktails but my friend wanted to venture. Can't wait to come back to venture the ducky drink and some other cutesy ones.

July 6th at LEX Nightclub with Rick Ross the Boss! What better way to celebrate my birthday and…read moreLex's 10th year anniversary! Upon arrival my friend and I were debating on either the Crystal lounge or Lex Nightclub. While enjoying a cocktail plus a shot we overheard that RickRoss is performing tonight! No question, no brainer Lex it is. It was our lucky evening! Waiting to be escorted to our VIP on table we were concerned on what alcoholic beverage to select. We made a decision and picked our poison, A little Irish whisky for the night it is! Vince was our VIP host and was able to pull some strings and upgraded our section to one close up to the stage where the Boss was set to perform. Feeling really nice on how our host treated us, we entered the event . Thank you Vince! A true player in the game that represents the company with greatness! A little buzzed I am now mesmerized by countless beautiful females towards our section! Wow, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a curtain dancer right above our vip booth in the air performing. Not too long after that I see Fire dancers playing with flames inside the swimming pool. What a venue, what a night! Bottle service is now coming towards us with all the bells and whistles to enhance our experience. Bar backs sets the table quickly and then flashing lights fill the scene with a huge Happy Birthday Sign being waved by 2 gorgeous Cocktail waitresses. Awesome!!!! The DJ was playing all the best club bangers back to back to back! The crowd is hyped while security stayed tight! And then, Rick Ross the Boss comes through after much anticipation. The club is going wild as he recites hit after hit! I never seen Rick Ross perform live and was blown away by his stage presence and performance. A real artistic master. Let the after party begin! After his performance we took a GsR limo to The Peppermint Hippo! Wow now that's another review I'll have to spend time on. Check them out ladies and Gents. Hands down the best adult entertainment club right across the street from the Grand Sierra... Thank you all at the GSR for providing us locals and visitors with great memories that will last a lifetime!

Quality/Quantity - We end most, if not all, our nights here…read more GSR is still my favorite Reno Casino, even though the comps have really gone downhill and the waitress service when gambling is at 50% in getting service. The waitress service here is way better than the gambling area. It is smaller though. Atmosphere - I think it is a beautiful lounge. It gets a "face" life every now and then. The DJ gets moved around every now and then. Etc. Events and live music, DJ, etc; see website. Bloody Mary and Mimosa Bar in the mornings. Saturday & Sunday: 9am-2am. Monday-Friday: 11am-2am. Service - Good. Price - Casino prices. Not sure if it is cheaper than the "free" drinks I get when gambling. I have not won $$ in a VERY long time, so I guess it is way less expensive recently. Owner Comment - Thanks for always having this relaxing lounge for me to end my nights.

This lounge/bar is so aestheticly beautiful and I love that's it's so easily accessible. And…read morealthough I wish there was more lounging and less machines within the lounge, I can understand since it's in a casino. The problem is the the music, and for several reasons. The sound is always so underwhelming, especially when there's are a lot of people in the bar which happens after a concert is over at the Grand Theatre. As for the music itself, the entertainment and DJ (specifically R Suave) is always so dated and often repetitive. There's lots of DJs in Reno so changing it up would be nice.
