    The Shiitest literally view in the world
    George B.

    Peppermill Reno wins the award for the worst view in the world. For $250 on a Thursday, this is what you get (see the attached picture). To make matters worse, the front desk and management were not helpful at all. When my wife went to the front desk, she was told there was no availability, even though the website showed identical rooms were still available. Ahmed at the front desk was polite, but he still placed us in a room with the worst view imaginable. Meanwhile, Giselle on the phone was completely unhelpful. I used to think this was the best hotel in Reno, but that is no longer the case.

    A desti action report, Peppermill Resort Reno has many things to offer. Our room was on the 14th floor with a nice view. Anthony checked us in, very professionally. The room was clean and accommodating with basic amenities. We used their Tuscana Spa for pedicure and massage services and lovednit. Last night we ate at Chi, their Asian fare diningroom and loved it, too. There isca Walgreens about 2 blocks to the right side of the resort, and I found it very convenient. We had coffee at their coffee shop this morning, wishing they had a Starbucks. But their coffee was very good. We watched the Marocco vs Canada game in the lobby and had a margaritas and a Cranberry Juice. The bartender was super friendly. Our children will join us tomorrow. But we like everything so far. Not fancy like Vegas, but personslized.

    Just love the Peppermill the atmosphere the people and especially the gym. We love the restaurants and the service is impeccable.

    *3.5 but rounding to 4 stars* For a casino hotel, Peppermill is pretty clean and didn't have any bad odors. We booked a deluxe king room with the steam shower. We unfortunately got a room in a bad location. It was really close to the elevator and ice machines so there was constant noise throughout the night. The room is very spacious and had lots of bathroom counter space. The steam shower makes it feel like you have your own personal sauna room. Cool to experience. Lots of great amenities such as a spa, two pools and a decent fitness room. We're not big on gambling so it was nice that they had a "Game Lab" aka an arcade room. This hotel has plenty of parking. They have some EV chargers but it may be difficult to get one as it's very populated.

    Another amazing stay! As always, the rooms were fresh and clean. The staff, from the front desk to housekeeping, was always on point. My past three stays have been in the Tuscany Tower, and I highly recommend it. Rooms and bathrooms are larger, the showers are amazing. I believe the rooms were recently renovated. Definitely worth the extra cost!

    This is the only hotel that I will stay at in Reno. I have been here many many times over the past few years. It's a quick getaway with a beautiful drive from Cali! I have stayed in the Peppermill Tower primarily, however the Tuscany Tower is nice. The hotel rooms are nice in both towers. The food is decent at every restaurant that I have been, although I have not tried all of them. I have my favorites and you can't go wrong with any of them, honestly. Always a great time at the Peppermill Reno.

    Feeding my Christmas decorations addiction and Peppermill is coming in close to it's competition. Beautiful Christmas trees. I do love the energy at peppermill. Especially watching sports and having a light adult beverage.

    On a last-minute trip to visit my dad in Reno, we booked the Peppermill Resort since that's where he was staying. We have two kids, so we were happy to see that the hotel is kid-friendly and even has an arcade and a heated pool, which was perfect for winter. Unfortunately, we traveled during a storm and the drive took about 14 hours. I was able to call the front desk ahead of time and request a room on the same floor as my dad. They made a note in our reservation, and when I received the mobile check-in text, I could see the request reflected there. Once I completed mobile check-in, it confirmed we were on the same floor. It still took another 10 hours before we finally arrived, but our room was ready and the final check-in process was smooth and easy. The room itself was very spacious for a family of four. We really appreciated that the double beds were queen-sized--after recently staying at a Marriott with full-size beds, this was way better. There was plenty of storage in the drawers and closet for all our snow gear, swimwear, and regular clothes for 4 people over two days. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. We were thankful to be on a non-smoking floor, which gave us a break from the smoke smell in the casino areas. I understand this is a casino and that indoor smoking is allowed in Nevada, so I won't complain about that. I called the front desk a few times during our stay, and every interaction was friendly and responsive. While I don't gamble, drink, or smoke--so this isn't really my scene--I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone who enjoys some or all of those things.

    8/7/25 FYI. Peppermill, Hot August Nights! Booths
    Lee D.

    Quality/Quantity - Overall good. We came here today for Hot August Nights. Their parking garage was under construction, but still plenty of spaces, even with Hot August Night going on. Still easy in and out. Atmosphere - What is up with all your large screen TVs? To create FAKE selfies...? See picture. 1623 rooms, 785 suites, 10 restaurants, and a convention space all within the hotel. Notable restaurants are: Bimini Steakhouse, Biscotti's, Biscott's Cafe, Cafe Espresso, Cafe Milano, Casino Bar, Chi, Fireside lounge, High Limit Slot Lounge, Island Buffet (currently closed), Lobby Lounge, Oceano (2016 remodel), Romanza, Sole Poolside, Sports Bar and Deli, The Pub, The Terrace, and White Orchid Private Dining. Tuscany themed. Heated outdoor pool and cabanas. A fairly large gym. You can also get married in the Pisa Room. Spa & salon. Free use of computers for flight information or to print boarding passes. So many bright video slot machines. Add this with the big screen TVs and I am starting to get dizzy... Poker room. Etc. Service - Good. Mostly self service. Well today my waitress was amazing, the beers kept coming and I even left winning $7, LOL. I gave my winnings away as a tip. Price - Normal for a resort casino. Casino resort prices. Owner Suggestion - Congrats on your success since 1971.

    Large screens  to watch all the sports events going on.

    I absolutely loved this Hotel, we were passing by first we stayed at the El Dorado then the peppermill. I can say that I truly had a pleasant stay, the rooms are beautiful! Clean, spacious, comfortable beds, clean resort most beautiful pool, the employees and customer service was by far my favorite! Kenny blackjack dealer was so awesome the poker room was the cheapest, the gift shop employees were so sweet! My cup was broken, they mailed me a new one store manager Claudia was so sweet I'll be goi g to say hi to her next visit. Room service employees were so kind, can't believe you get a fridge in the room as well as a microwave if requested. We will definitely be returning.

    The steam shower
    Justin W.

    My first stay at the Peppermill was a really pleasant experience. I actually got upgraded because the room I originally booked wasn't available -- total Jerry Seinfeld moment (if you know, you know). The room itself was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The king bed was great, and the pillows had just the right amount of support. But the real highlight was the bathroom -- especially the steam shower, which was amazing after a long day. Overall, I'd definitely recommend staying here if you're in Reno. Great rooms, nice amenities, and a solid experience all around.

The rooms are very welcoming, adorned with modern decor, seating areas, keurig machines for your morning coffee, floor to ceiling windows for expansive views, and comfortable beds. As per the restaurants you are in great hands at one of my favorite dining venues, Rim Bistro under the leadership of GM Christian Bryan. The Charlie Palmer Steakhouse serves up great plates, and there are other dining options that might suit your fancy. The casino floor is overflowing with a wide variety of slot machines and tables to suit your liking, and the cage cashiers are always friendly and ready to assist. Top it all off with a theatrical or musical performance at the Grand Theater, and close the night with a night cap at the Crystal Lounge or a freshly brewed cup of coffee at the Starbucks. There is so much to explore at this property and soon with the amphitheater where UNR sports teams will compete you can already feel the excitement and adrenaline bubbling at the surface. The location is absolutely ideal if you drive, as valet parking and self parking are both available but patience is advised while construction is underway. Guest parking is available off 2nd street in the rear of the casino. Getting a rideshare out of the property might be a challenge for you as it has been for me on the weekends, as well, but cabs are always on site. Overall I can't speak highly enough about my multiple experiences on site and look forward to attending more live events and staying as a guest at GSR. Thanks Grand Sierra Resort!

    I stayed here for a few days for a work conference and my experience here was underwhelming…read more The check-in process was disorganized. You're strongly encouraged to check in through a mobile link, but once you arrive, you still end up standing in line to complete the process and/or get your room key, which defeats the purpose of the mobile check-in. My limited interactions with the staff, both by phone and in person, also left much to be desired. I didn't encounter much warmth, kindness, or even basic pleasantries, which made the overall experience feel less welcoming. My room was in the Sierra Tower. The room itself was decent and had the basics, but it was noticeably dusty and could have been cleaner. My bed wasn't even fully made. Just a flat sheet and comforter on the mattress. My phone poor service and although the hotel has WiFi, the connection is poor and unstable in certain areas There are multiple restaurants, bars, and lounges throughout the property, which is convenient, but unfortunately the food was mediocre at best. I also experienced multiple stomachaches during my stay, which certainly didn't help my impression of the dining options. Reno unfortunately appears to have a significant drug-related issue, and while this hotel seemed to be one of the nicer options in the area, the overall experience still wasn't enough to make me want to return. I don't see myself staying here again unless I absolutely have to. Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this location.

Management brushed us off and referred us to security. The security representative showed little interest in speaking with us and only wanted a written statement. He then stated they would "watch the video" to see what happened. Since the incident occurred inside our private room, we immediately asked what video he was referring to. He then denied making the statement and would not provide clarification. We were told the incident would be investigated, but since then our calls have not been returned and we have received no updates. The missing money is concerning, but the greater issue is the complete violation of our privacy and the lack of concern or communication afterward. Guests should be able to trust that their belongings will remain private and secure in their hotel room. Unfortunately, after this experience, we no longer have that trust in the Atlantis.

The casino is still so smokey. They either need better ventilation or prohibit smoking completely. The patrons at the Horseshoe Bar were obviously overserved. Screaming drunks, stumbling people.

We overlooked a train yard and metal recycling plant. If you looked up, instead of down, the view was quite nice. Then, it happened. Hot water was running brown in both sinks and the shower. I called the desk, they said let it run. We did. Still brown. The white wash cloths were discolored. She said the cold water is okay to drink. Ummm, no. I asked for bottled water to be sent up. At midnight, when it still hadn't arrived I called the desk. No answer. I affixed a note to the door asking to not knock, just leave the water, which they did. The only redeeming quality is Anthony's Chop House. I won't ever stay again.

    Bed bugs, two room moves, and absolutely no mitigation plan!!!…read more I have never written a public review before, despite plenty of less than perfect experiences. I worked in the service industry for years and generally believe businesses deserve the opportunity to make things right. The Nugget had that opportunity and chose not to.. During our stay for Hot August Nights, we discovered bed bugs in room 1638. Security responded promptly, confirmed the issue, documented it, and moved us to room 2838. That replacement room had a long standing AC leak, saturated carpet, peeling wallpaper, and visible growth behind the wall covering. Engineering inspected it the next morning and told us we absolutely could not remain there. We were moved again, to room 1242. The frontline employees were kind, responsive, and genuinely helpful. Management was the problem. We repeatedly asked what the hotel could do to prevent us from carrying bed bugs into the next rooms or home with us. There was no laundry service, no heat treatment option, no containment procedure offered, and no written policy or protocol available when requested. We were allowed to move the same luggage and belongings from 1638 to 2838 and then to 1242 with no mitigation whatsoever. If we had picked up hitchhikers in the original room, we could easily have carried them through multiple hotel rooms and eventually home. We are now home and spending our own time laundering and heat treating our belongings because the property offered no assistance with this before our departure. Manager on Duty Cole Hughes was particularly disappointing. After initially avoiding speaking with us directly, he ultimately offered no meaningful assistance and told us, in substance, that once we left the property the problem would be ours. He then directed us back to Security, whose staff had already done far more to help us than management had. We requested management follow up in writing while we were still on property. No response. We requested information about what to do if we brought bed bugs home. No answer. We were told Risk Management would contact us in 7 to 15 business days. Before departure, I ultimately obtained the Risk Management phone number from Security myself. I called after returning home and left a message. This is what bothers me most: the Nugget responded to the rooms, but not to the guests. Moving us was necessary. It was not a complete response to a bed bug exposure. If this is what corporate ownership has turned guest service into, relocate, document, pass the customer to Risk Management, and wait for them to leave, it is incredibly disappointing. I am writing this because future guests should know: if you encounter bed bugs here, based on our experience, do not assume the property has a meaningful procedure in place to help prevent you from carrying them elsewhere or taking them home. Security and Engineering deserve credit. Management absolutely does not.

Slots are horrible, Keno never hits, not sure about video poker but I'd be willing to bet (with a much better chance at winning than if I were to bet anything here) that the poker is garbage too. Standard service, not anything to write home about. This is clearly a hang out spot for people that are already poor and Baldinis makes good and sure they stay that way. You know how you walk in a casino and hear or see lots of people hitting jackpots? Not this place. Just people chain smoking to calm their anxiety of getting robbed once again by the infamous Baldinis. Terrible casino. They will try and hook you with promotions but they are only to get you to show up and feel like you have a chance at winning something but you will indeed win nothing so save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. Of all the Casinos in Reno/Sparks the places that hit the hardest have proven time and again to be Sierra Sid's (right down the street on McCarran) and Peppermill. I've given this place too many chances to redeem themselves but I always walk out of here irritated. They don't even give you small wins on any of the machines to break you in at even or slightly above. Every machine is the same thing: win slightly less than you're betting to chase a dragon that does not exist. Food is notably priced but again that's the only reason I'm giving 2 stars. As a Casino this place is more than deserving of a full Zero Stars.

    I didn't anticipate needing a hotel, but due to timing logistics I grabbed the last minute room at…read moreCircus Circus. The price was super affordable, to the point I was skeptical that things would work out. Fortunately, everything was as I hoped for. We arrived at about 10:00 a.m., too early to check in. ** Note, parking is free, which is a very nice touch for downtown casino hotels ** We spent some time at the casino, and then grabbed lunch at one of the restaurants. There are three attached hotels in a row, Circus Circus, Silver Legacy and El Dorado, and the restaurants serve all three hotel visitors. After lunch, we took a walk around downtown Reno - it's got a lot of attractions that I would not have otherwise seen (riverwalk, baseball stadium, the Reno Arch, etc. By then it was just after 1:00 p.m., and I stopped by the front desk to see if any rooms might be available. For a small up charge of $20, I was able to check into a room early. The room was in the Sky Tower, a building that was a little difficult to find, but ultimately we figured out how to get from the room to the casino without having to go outdoors. The bed was very comfortable, the room was a good size, and the bathroom had all the amenities necessary. Overall, this is not one of the fanciest hotels I've ever visited, but it is a nice place to have access to the casino and the local Reno area, it was less than a 10 minute drive back to the airport, the room / bed / pillows for all comfortable, and the price for the room and parking was surely an amazing value.

    Hotel-Lodging Review (mostly):…read more To hear some folks speak on Circus Circus (either here in Reno or the sister property in Vegas), you'd think someone were describing the conditions inside a POW camp or prison. Haven't stayed or patronized the property here in decades. And the primary aim with this stay was getting back into the Caesar's Rewards program as quickly and as economically as possible. Sure, it's an older property with it's proverbial warts, but the stay held appeal for me. And it didn't hurt that I upgraded to a Spa King Suite, located in the Casino Tower. Check-in supervisor Asialene was a sweetheart who set the tone for my 1 night stay. Spa Suites have either an oversized soaking tub or one with jet nozzles (basically a mini whirlpool-jacuzzi). Really relaxing and is always a highlight of any stay, no matter the property. These rooms are huge! Around 680 sq. ft. Like an apartment almost. Easily accommodates multiple adults or a family with the non-king, 2 bed set up. Wet bar, Keurig machine, mini fridge, 42" big screen, a 2nd smaller screen in the master room, two separate toilets in each suite. The climate A/C system works great; no nonsense old-school horsepower blowing from 2 separate units in the suite. Unlike at some of the fancier resorts around town that skimp on the room HVAC output. In short and overall, there's quite a bit of value for what you get here at Circus, comparatively speaking. It serves well a niche for folks not wishing to break the bank for a simple night's stay while in Reno. Sure, other resorts are fancier no doubt, but, you're also shelling out more cash to get that in most cases. My normal go-to resort in Reno is usually Peppermill for example. Stay there several times a year. Which defies comparison to Circus on many levels. But, one thing I actually appreciated about Circus was being about to get where I wanted with a lot fewer steps than at most other fancier resorts. For the same time + distance it takes you to weave from 1 side of Peppermill to the other towers and parking areas for example, you could cover about the same distance between all 3 resorts under The Row (Circus Circus, Silver Legacy & El Dorado) it seems. Setbacks here at Circus like hot & stuffy hallways and lobbies, slow & inoperable escalators & elevators, a dystopian parking garage, closed rewards center & cashier cage (only at Circus, not at Silver Legacy & El Dorado) turned out to be minor inconveniences that were fairly easily overlooked & remedied during the stay. I mean, who really judges a resort by the parking garage for example? Was here for Monday overnight, so most of the shops and some restaurants within the Circus side were closed, owing to the idea that Monday's are typically one of the slowest days of the week. They've also swung the axe on table games here at Circus, a bummer from the heyday where lively floor crowds were the norm. Bartender blamed this on Covid when I inquired. But again, a short walk to either Silver Legacy or El Dorado casinos via the indoor connected walkways solves that riddle. I wasn't on the property long enough to relive the still-active midway-arcade, free circus acts (if they even still have those?), restaurants, etc, so can't comment there. But, it would be a sad day if this property ever closes. And I definitely wouldn't hesitate lodging here again at any of the other properties at The Row.
