"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 are staying at Western Village, with our two rescue dogs, next week. Would definitely prefer GSR or Peppermill, complimentary stays but Western Village is a nice, reasonable alternative when you have pets. We always visit all the casinos around Reno/Sparks area when we visit.. Restaurants at WV are very nice, too
@@amymyselfi7085 What I like about WV is that the hotel is in a separate building, so you don't have to wade through a casino to get to your car. And I'm sure that makes it handy when you have pets as well.
@@paulamckenzie I visited their three casinos (Peppermill, Rainbow, and Montego Bay) there in September of last year. The three casinos combined are close to, but not quite, the experience you get at their Reno resort. However, their Wendover casinos have a great players club.
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. Being retired with a few bucks is Heaven ! Thanks for the great video ♥️
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. New subscriber here. Cheers
Thank you SO much for this terrific comment, Barry, and welcome to our channel! We love the backstory on those wonderful vignettes from around the world - makes them even more special. 😊 Thank you for sharing your inside scoop!
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!
When we visit the area, we never find ourselves in Sparks - but we do read good things about Western Village. If we do there, Dale LOVES green chile soup - we will definitely look for it. 😊
Excellent work! I loved Paula’s note on the geothermal heating what a great idea Peppermill! Also I really love the historical contextualizations at the end of your videos. We gain things with your content that no out of town vloggers from Cali or Wisconsin could ever come close to!!! Thank you both and cmon Dale beat that thing would ya.
You really made our day yesterday with this comment. We hope that we do offer a take on Las Vegas that is a little different, a little richer I guess you could say - and we love it that you notice. 🥰
We just stayed there but on the other side and our patio was off the pool. We LOVE the Tuscany tower rooms! I love the video screens everywhere. Great job covering it!
Wow! I had no idea that there was another Peppermill in Reno!? The room is beautiful! I could easily get some relaxing done on that walk out patio! I love the Peppermill in Vegas…the food, drinks, and Fireside lounge! Let’s go👍!! 😄 Thanks for sharing the 2 Peppermill Tales👍❤️!
We suspect that most of our viewers will never get there - we love it, and have visited many many times (pre-vlogging days). We keep meaning to go up there together, and vlog the entire area...a lot to see and do.
Totally agree! I have stayed there on business before, but never viewed it through the camera lens...it IS spectacular. And I was with colleagues, so I didn't even have a chance to go to the Fireside Lounge up there!
Thank you so much. This was a wonderful presentation. I loved this hotel, so classy. Paula, I wish you tons of success whether you work or not. Continue to enjoy your two responsibilities.
There is also a Peppermills coffee shop in Daly City California years ago. We used to go there after work. It looks exactly like the one in Las Vegas. I have stay in Peppermills in Reno before. What a lovely place. They also have this amazing buffet.
I never knew... Now I’m adding Reno to my bucket list. We luv the Peppermill diner in Vegas😻👍. The Nicholas Cage movie, The Trust was also filmed there. I recommend the Cats slot machine by the door. I won 125$ on my last visit. Thanks for the great video🌟🎉
And thank YOU for the slot tip - folks will appreciate that! As for Reno, it's a fun town, and if you ever find yourself there, we do recommend the Peppermill for sure. 😊
Paula at the Peppermill, wow the one in Reno is really cool what a facility well designed. Ok we are now going back to Peppermill now for breakfast! Hehe. Another great collaboration you guys, Paula did the ground work and traveling, Dale takes over in the post production, editing and voice over 😀 👍 I'm thinking your workplace will welcome you staying on for a while longer Paula, see Dale, now you have time for more editing vlogs!
Such a fun comment, thank you! 🥰 And yes, you totally get the collaboration part of this: that Dale and I share the duties, we each do what our schedule and skillset allows, and it works.
Well well! Congratulations with your retirement decision. I wondered when you announced your retirement. With everything on the increase see about next year. And, I had no idea about the hotel in Reno....thank you. However, many is the time that I have known the Peppermill in Vegas. Oh, if the lounge could talk. The one thing that has not changed in all these years. I wish we lived closer!
Oh me too - imagine the conversations we could have!! I had to read this out loud to Dale, especially "Oh, if the lounge could talk"! Still going to meet up in December, aren't we?
Loved the video as usual! I completely understand your decision to postpone your retirement… I retired from practicing law, then became so bored I opened an antique shop, Camelot Manor Antiques. Keep up your fabulous videos… you bring great joy to your thousands of subscribers!
Thank you so much for saying that...we do get the feeling we bring joy, and THAT brings joy back to us! 🥰As for the retirement thing...well with the vlog and our new granddaughter I would not have been bored, but it was a case of economics. Not a good time to go on a fixed income, with inflation going crazy.
Hello Mrs Paula and Mr Dale I hope all is well I had to come on to see what my buddies latest adventure in Las Vegas is. 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. I felt safe and would come back again
Yes, what happened last week at Mirage was a personal tragedy, having nothing to do with the Mirage, or Las Vegas...but we are really happy to hear that you, a guest, felt that it was handled well! 😊
Hey guys, always appreciate and look forward to the Sunday morning treat! wow that Peppermill in Reno is really nice! Love that suite! The vintage ambience! Rich dark wood trim ! View of the lush gardens!
I’ve never thought about going to Reno before but I wouldn’t mind staying at the Peppermill. It looks beautiful. I’m surprised with all the successes in Reno they haven’t built a hotel/casinos in Vegas. You guys are great, love your channel ❤️🎰🎲
Thank you Nancy, that's so nice of you to say! 🥰 My theory is that the Peppermill folks didn't want to jump into the tank with all the sharks here in Vegas. They are very successful with the Reno property, and a few smaller places in rural Nevada.
Do it! That Four Diamond rating is deserved! The Peppermill Reno is my favorite casino in the country. The service from the restaurants, hotel, and table games is fantastic!
@@jasonmasciulli8801 That is a great endorsement! We sure will - especially since the Peppermill Reno contacted us yesterday (saw our video, wow) and offered to host our stay! 🥰🥰
You should go lots of stuff to see we stayed at the legends right next to the circus circus, The Peppermill has lots of bars has lots of games plenty room for everybody
Oh my goodness. What a beautiful hotel. I wouldn't have known this hotel existed if it wasn't for you guys. Thank you 😊 Hopefully one day I'll be fortunate to stay there too.
This sounds like a lot of fun! I love the Peppermill in Las Vegas! I've driven by Reno, but never stopped to explore the downtown. Wow...nice looking place from humble beginnings! 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. The Las Vegas Peppermill is just so cool. The Fireside Lounge is so 70s - 80ish. I just love it. Tough decision, but I know Paula knows best.
A great video! Unique and very colorful. Paula's video work is really wonderful here. There's nothing nice about a cold in heat. I had one in Vegas in July when it was 110 outside. It was terrible. The air con doesn't help getting over it. Thanks for sharing and take care. And you're right, it's probably not the best time to retire.
Thank you for the compliment, Allan - I hope I keep getting better with my filming techniques with all this practice lol! I read this out loud to Dale, about the cold - you are so right, the constant A/C blasting is NOT a good thing when your head is all stuffed up...
The Peppermill in Reno is fantastic. Our room was just like the one shown in your video, but outside our railing was the pool. I think I would prefer your garden and fountain view. Also had great luck in the casino.
I agree - if we go again, I will ask for the ground floor suite, because that patio was superb! Glad to hear from viewers like you, who endorse the property from your own personal experience.
What a great vlog!! Interesting to see the difference between the two. Never been to Reno. Looks like a great place. Hope you both are doing well. Take care friends. 😀
Yes, Reno is a very different vibe from Las Vegas - much smaller, much more outdoor recreation oriented (with Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevadas). We thought most of you out there would never get to Reno, so why not show you something from there?
Hi Paula and Dale! I love Reno and the Peppermill! It has changed so much over the years and has become quite the destination! I didn't know about the geothermal heating...what a wonderful thing! You always give us information that is so interesting! Thanks so much for sharing! Hugs!
I loved loved loved this video!!! I can’t wait to visit both peppermill one day !! Keep up the great work! video was awesome 🤩 made my day! Love you guys !!!!
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.
Yes, Jay, your thinking is very similar to ours...we are concerned with the crazy unchecked rate of inflation...not a good time to go on a fixed income!
I retired last December. At 75 it was time to spend time with grandchildren and family. I am loving life and enjoying my bride of 55 years. 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.
Thank YOU for this hopeful message, and congratulations on your retirement! You waited a lonnnng time, and you earned it! So glad you like our videos. 😊
There’s a fireside lounge in the peppermill in reno too! It looks exactly the same as Vegas still. They also own west lake village in sparks/reno it’s a casino reastraunt just like the peppermill & a small motor hotel type as well.
Yep, we knew both of those tidbits. I was with a couple of colleagues on that trip, so I wasn't able to slip away and check out the Fireside Lounge at Peppermill Reno (too bad too, I really would have loved to see it).
@@paulamckenzie it looks excatally the same as Vegas. Maybe a little smaller than the Vegas one. I just hope reno never remodels it like they did the peppermill restraunt I really don’t like the new remodel and now it’s called Malano cafe. I was at peppermill reno in June and last week for han (hot august night’s)! I go to Vegas often too have a timeshare there I’m over due for a trip! Love your guys channel!🥰
Great video, I really enjoyed it as well as the fun facts. The Peppermill also had a Fireside lounge/coffee shop across from Buchanan Air field in Concord, CA, but unfortunately they closed that location. My coworkers and I would go there after work in the evenings for a few cocktails. I really miss that place.
This Sunday’s video was once again ‘perfection’. It brought back many nice memories of my visits to both locations. When I watch your videos it’s like I’m visiting familiar places for the first time. You show us every nook and cranny and always such interesting narrative. Your vlogs and hard work are very much appreciated. Take care and thanks !
Just to recap, there is also a Fireside Lounge in the Reno Peppermill as well. Fun fact, the owner, Bill Paganetti still walks the casino floor all of the time. He dresses very casually in jeans and a sweatshirt. Super nice guy.
We stay everytime we go to reno at peppermill in Tuscany tower in the sienna suite we are going next year in June and then down to Vegas to stay at southpoint in 1 bedroom suite we love it. Thank you so much for great video.
I'm so glad to have known the Peppermill with you both! Looks like a lovely place to visit. If you're not ready to retire , it's better to continue then. I retired because of Covid-19 and it's not a good idea. I should have stayed too! I loved my job!
That was a very interesting video to watch. I've never been to Reno and don't intend to but it certainly is fun to see the resorts out there. Thanks for yet another review of the Peppermill in Vegas. I'll definitely have to put that one on my bucket list. Thanks for an excellent production; I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
We assume that most of our viewers won't visit Reno, but we liked the tie-in with the Vegas property, and we thought pairing the two would make for interesting viewing. Looks like it did! 😉
We are so glad you liked this one - and believe it or not, the Peppermill Reno contacted us a couple days after the video went live, and invited us up to stay! 🥰
Darn! I was there in Reno at the Peppermill while you were. Would have loved to say hello. The PM is my home away from home. I know that Dale would love all the no smoking VP bars including the sports bar and the sports book. There are six of them. No problem getting a nice G&T. Great video!
Oh sigh, I missed ya! I agree, I think Dale would love the place, and I'd love to stay for a long weekend and just enjoy all it has to offer. In the past, the two of us have stayed at Grand Sierra, but I may have changed my mind...
Great video! I enjoyed seeing the Peppermill in Reno. I went there in the 1980's, so it's fun to see what has been added since. I'm surprised the location in Las Vegas has not put up a multi-story hotel.
You know, maybe they decided not to jump into this particular shark tank lol...they have other properties in a suburb of Reno, and in rural Nevada, and they are very successful.
I love that you showed both of the Peppermills and the history of each. Been to the one in Vegas several times where my cousin recently retired as bar manager. FYI THE Rainbow casino in downtown Henderson was recently bought by the owner of Emerald Island also in downtown Henderson. I also liked that you mentioned that they are run by families instead of corporations. Not too many of those left.
I've been to the Emerald Isle casino in Henderson. Great local penny-slot casino! They really try hard to take care of their clientele. Plus, they're restaurant has pretty good food with very reasonable prices. We always try to stop at Chef Fleming's Bakeshop just down the street whenever we go to the Emerald Isle casino. Chef Fleming's Bakeshop has AMAZING pastries. YUM!
@@paulamckenzie there is some pretty cool history around wendover like the wendover airfield where the pilots who dropped the nuclear bombs in WW2 trained. You also have the Salt flats where a lot of land speed records have been set.
Outstanding video, as always! I’ve been to Reno a couple times, but I’d sure love to stay at the Peppermill! What a lovely resort! Hope you’re feeling much improved, Dale! And as a side note, my husband had intended to retire this year (he’s 68), but we felt that with the economy being as it is, it was not an opportune time for him to leave. Hopefully, NEXT year….depending. Thanks again for your excellent vlogs! We certainly enjoy watching and living vicariously through your adventures! Take care! 😎👍❤️
Thank you Nancy for this lovely message -- and I feel really good hearing from folks like you and your husband, who have come to the same conclusion about retirement. Makes me even more sure we did the right thing!
Thank you for the insight on the Peppermill. We've never eaten nor stayed there, but would definitely like to try it. I enjoyed your breakfast at the Peppermill episode as well. I'm sorry that you had to delay your retirement, but completely understand why. Like you said, it's the best decision for you right now. Wishing you lots of good health Dale. Get better soon so we can hear you sing on your fantastic vlogs. (We're groupies now) We hope you have a great week and we'll see you next week. Take care :)
Well hello groupies! 😁 We love groupies! Dale is working hard to beat this sinus thing, I promise. As for the retirement decision...each day that goes by we are more sure we did the right thing there. See ya Sunday!
I've always wanted to eat or have a drink at the Peppermill on the Strip but never got around to it. That will change on my next visit, thanks to you two!
the Peppermill has a "sister " called the western village in Sparks ( 25 or so min away) it's like a mini version and super super nice, the let pets stay too
Yep we are aware of that, and many of you have mentioned it in the comments. We didn't feature it or mention it because we have never been there and didn't have any footage for it...we featured the two that we had visited personally. 😊
Great video Paula and Dale! I love the Peppermill in Vegas, I generally land from my flight early morning and make a b-line to the restaurant after I pick up my rental car. Their food is second to none! Paula; I am happy you are happy with your work decision. Take care and stay safe and healthy out there. CAB 😍
"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.

Yes, we know about that - and we would love to! Hoping someday we can take our little vlog on the road, and tour a whole lot of rural Nevada.
@@paulamckenzie I visited their three casinos (Peppermill, Rainbow, and Montego Bay) there in September of last year. The three casinos combined are close to, but not quite, the experience you get at their Reno resort. However, their Wendover casinos have a great players club.
@@jasonmasciulli8801 We think a visit to Wendover would be fascinating - we love small-town Nevada!
Reno Pepermilll our favorite place to stay everytime we travel that way. Beautiful clean place .
We appreciate viewers like you weighing in with your own experiences at Peppermill Reno - that's a terrific endorsement! 😊
Another great video. I love the LV Peppermill.
So do I! It is like so many other great spots in this town - we don't get there often enough, and we should!
And soo happy to hear about the geothermal !!
So was I! That is why I wanted to mention it.
As a kid we used to go to the buffet at the Peppermill in reno grew up in Northern Nevada although now we call Yerington NV home
I love how many of you are familiar with the Peppermill in Reno - so glad we featured it. And Yerington is a great place to call home!
Have always loved the Pepper Mill !! And fireside lounge👍
How could you not? Seriously, what a great place to have drinks!
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.

Being retired with a few bucks is Heaven ! Thanks for the great video ♥️
The Las Vegas Peppermill is just a restaurant and lounge. They don't have a casino or hotel in Vegas.
Yes, Jason is correct - no hotel in Vegas. Sounds like you have a sweet retirement set up for yourselves - congratulations! 🎊
Fascinating as always. We have never been to Reno. The Peppermill looks like the place to stay if we ever get there. Thanks for that review. ❤️
We love it that we can take you along to places you might not ever get to - the great benefit of TH-cam! ❤

Great visit there a few years ago. This video brings me great memories and makes me want to visit again. Love their steakhouse too! Great work!
We love when our videos bring back a terrific personal memory for you the viewer - that is the best outcome!
I love the Reno Peppermill, have stayed many times at Tuscany Towers. One of my favorite films "Hard Eight" was filmed there.
I can see why - it's a very photogenic place!
We just stayed there but on the other side and our patio was off the pool. We LOVE the Tuscany tower rooms! I love the video screens everywhere. Great job covering it!
Aww this makes me feel good, that we did it justice. ❤
We always stay at the Peppermill when in Reno. Love the Cafe there! And when Vegas, always go at least one for a late dinner.
You definitely are choosing the best of the best, north and south!
Agree!
Wow! I had no idea that there was another Peppermill in Reno!? The room is beautiful! I could easily get some relaxing done on that walk out patio! I love the Peppermill in Vegas…the food, drinks, and Fireside lounge! Let’s go👍!! 😄 Thanks for sharing the 2 Peppermill Tales👍❤️!

Peppermill in Reno is spectacular
Totally agree! I have stayed there on business before, but never viewed it through the camera lens...it IS spectacular. And I was with colleagues, so I didn't even have a chance to go to the Fireside Lounge up there!
Thank you so much. This was a wonderful presentation. I loved this hotel, so classy. Paula, I wish you tons of success whether you work or not. Continue to enjoy your two responsibilities.

Hey guys, always appreciate and look forward to the Sunday morning treat! wow that Peppermill in Reno is really nice! Love that suite! The vintage ambience! Rich dark wood trim ! View of the lush gardens!
I absolutely loved that suite...only wish Dale had been with me and we had been staying the weekend.
Have stayed at pepper mill since it was just a one building. In the 70d. My favorite! Also the pep in Vargas 70ds. Love the gigs you do!! So fun!!!🤗
OMG you must have some great memories of the good old days! Thank you for watching our channel 🥰
Paula & Dale thanks for the Video nice
Thank YOU for watching, Klaus 😊
I’ve never thought about going to Reno before but I wouldn’t mind staying at the Peppermill. It looks beautiful. I’m surprised with all the successes in Reno they haven’t built a hotel/casinos in Vegas. You guys are great, love your channel ❤️🎰🎲
Thank you Nancy, that's so nice of you to say! 🥰 My theory is that the Peppermill folks didn't want to jump into the tank with all the sharks here in Vegas. They are very successful with the Reno property, and a few smaller places in rural Nevada.
Do it! That Four Diamond rating is deserved! The Peppermill Reno is my favorite casino in the country. The service from the restaurants, hotel, and table games is fantastic!
@@jasonmasciulli8801 That is a great endorsement! We sure will - especially since the Peppermill Reno contacted us yesterday (saw our video, wow) and offered to host our stay! 🥰🥰
You should go lots of stuff to see we stayed at the legends right next to the circus circus, The Peppermill has lots of bars has lots of games plenty room for everybody
I have stayed twice at the Peppermill in Reno The rooms with a whirl pool also have a steam shower which is amazing.
Oh my goodness. What a beautiful hotel. I wouldn't have known this hotel existed if it wasn't for you guys. Thank you 😊 Hopefully one day I'll be fortunate to stay there too.
Hey you never know if you will find yourself in the Reno area! Keep it in mind! 😊
Great peppermill blog thanks both , will definitely be visiting there in November 😁
Glad you enjoyed it Eve - and yes, I hope you do pop in there for breakfast, lunch, drinks... 😊
This sounds like a lot of fun! I love the Peppermill in Las Vegas! I've driven by Reno, but never stopped to explore the downtown. Wow...nice looking place from humble beginnings! 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. The Las Vegas Peppermill is just so cool. The Fireside Lounge is so 70s - 80ish. I just love it. Tough decision, but I know Paula knows best.
Another spot that the four of us need to experience - let's grab a red couch in the way back and pretend we're with Frank and Dean...
@@paulamckenzie Definitely! That would be great!
I’m at Vegas Peppermill for dinner. The cocktail hostess showed up in her black formal dress, I love it!
OK I love that! It's a special place, so glad you got to enjoy it. 😊
A great video! Unique and very colorful. Paula's video work is really wonderful here. There's nothing nice about a cold in heat. I had one in Vegas in July when it was 110 outside. It was terrible. The air con doesn't help getting over it. Thanks for sharing and take care. And you're right, it's probably not the best time to retire.
Thank you for the compliment, Allan - I hope I keep getting better with my filming techniques with all this practice lol! I read this out loud to Dale, about the cold - you are so right, the constant A/C blasting is NOT a good thing when your head is all stuffed up...
Wieder sehr interessant, vielen Dank für das Video, liebe Grüße von Elisabeth und Max Straubing Germany 💯
LOL I do LOVE that you comment in German! 🤗
Thank you for taking the time to going to Reno it was so interesting and much looking forward to going, God Bless you both
Glad you enjoyed it - the Reno trip was totally business, but I made the most of it by squeezing in a vlog too 😊
Love your videos. Thank you.
thanks so much, Tom - we appreciate you joining us for this Peppermill twofer! 😊
You make my Sunday mornings! Another great video. Now I guess I will have to go to Reno to check out the other Peppermill!
LOL well if you find yourself in Reno for some reason, it's the first-class choice!
Just another great video! You guys ROCK!!! Been to and will continue to feast at the Peppermill, awesome food and all that goes with it!!!!!
Thank you so much, we have received such great feedback on this one! 🥰
Great tour of both properties... Thanks for taking us all along Dale and Paula ! Best, Rudy
And thank you for coming along on the Peppermill two-fer!
wow what a beautiful place love the ld murals all over the casino ty so much
Yes, those murals are beautifully done!
The Peppermill in Reno is fantastic. Our room was just like the one shown in your video, but outside our railing was the pool. I think I would prefer your garden and fountain view. Also had great luck in the casino.
I agree - if we go again, I will ask for the ground floor suite, because that patio was superb! Glad to hear from viewers like you, who endorse the property from your own personal experience.
What a great vlog!! Interesting to see the difference between the two. Never been to Reno. Looks like a great place. Hope you both are doing well. Take care friends. 😀
Yes, Reno is a very different vibe from Las Vegas - much smaller, much more outdoor recreation oriented (with Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevadas). We thought most of you out there would never get to Reno, so why not show you something from there?
Hi Paula and Dale! I love Reno and the Peppermill! It has changed so much over the years and has become quite the destination! I didn't know about the geothermal heating...what a wonderful thing! You always give us information that is so interesting! Thanks so much for sharing! Hugs!
I have been so surprised at how many of you have been to Reno, and are familiar with the Peppermill - I am so glad we featured it!
I loved loved loved this video!!! I can’t wait to visit both peppermill one day !! Keep up the great work! video was awesome 🤩 made my day! Love you guys !!!!
And this enthusiastic comment made OUR day! Thank you Shivonne, for coming along on the Peppermill two-fer!
@@paulamckenzie I wouldn’t miss a Dale and Paula adventure!!! ❤️
@@shivonnerosas1694 🥰
Awesome video! Have driven by the place when in Vegas. I would like to stay in the Reno location. Thanks for sharing. God bless!!
Well I heartily recommend either or both!
Never been to Reno. Thanks for showing the Peppermills ( never been to the one here either lol ) love u guys ❤️❤️🥰🥰
Well now that you are a local, you gotta go for breakfast, or drinks and appetizers, or...both!
@@paulamckenzie I will do that ☺️☺️☺️☺️
LOVE THE PEPPERMILL IN LAS VEGAS HAVE BEEN GOING THERE SINCE THE 1980'S
Yep, and it sure hasn't changed much, has it? It's a classic...
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.
Yes, Jay, your thinking is very similar to ours...we are concerned with the crazy unchecked rate of inflation...not a good time to go on a fixed income!
Have been to the Peppermill in Las Vegas many times but had no idea there was a Peppermill Hotel in Reno - many thanks for the heads-up! 😀
Hey if you ever find yourself in Reno, it's a first-class choice!
Love watching you guys
Well thank you so much! Making videos for folks like you who love to watch is a pleasure! 😊
Just tuned in...this is interesting..😊🎰
So glad you thought so - I have to say, one day later, we are kind of amazed at how this video was so well-received. 😊
I retired last December. At 75 it was time to spend time with grandchildren and family. I am loving life and enjoying my bride of 55 years. 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.
Thank YOU for this hopeful message, and congratulations on your retirement! You waited a lonnnng time, and you earned it! So glad you like our videos. 😊
There’s a fireside lounge in the peppermill in reno too! It looks exactly the same as Vegas still.
They also own west lake village in sparks/reno it’s a casino reastraunt just like the peppermill & a small motor hotel type as well.
Yep, we knew both of those tidbits. I was with a couple of colleagues on that trip, so I wasn't able to slip away and check out the Fireside Lounge at Peppermill Reno (too bad too, I really would have loved to see it).
@@paulamckenzie it looks excatally the same as Vegas. Maybe a little smaller than the Vegas one. I just hope reno never remodels it like they did the peppermill restraunt I really don’t like the new remodel and now it’s called Malano cafe. I was at peppermill reno in June and last week for han (hot august night’s)! I go to Vegas often too have a timeshare there I’m over due for a trip! Love your guys channel!🥰
@@jc1996 thank you! 🥰
Great video, I really enjoyed it as well as the fun facts. The Peppermill also had a Fireside lounge/coffee shop across from Buchanan Air field in Concord, CA, but unfortunately they closed that location. My coworkers and I would go there after work in the evenings for a few cocktails. I really miss that place.
This Sunday’s video was once again ‘perfection’. It brought back many nice memories of my visits to both locations. When I watch your videos it’s like I’m visiting familiar places for the first time. You show us every nook and cranny and always such interesting narrative. Your vlogs and hard work are very much appreciated. Take care and thanks !
Aww Donna, we love it when our videos bring back good memories of your own visits to these places! ❤️
Just to recap, there is also a Fireside Lounge in the Reno Peppermill as well. Fun fact, the owner, Bill Paganetti still walks the casino floor all of the time. He dresses very casually in jeans and a sweatshirt. Super nice guy.
Yes, we knew that, but in my very short one-night stay I did not have a chance to get over there to see it/film it. Love the story about the owner! 🥰
That was so much fun to watch. We hope you feel better Dale. Thank you for info.
Thank YOU, Debbie, we are so glad you enjoyed the Peppermill double feature!
We stay everytime we go to reno at peppermill in Tuscany tower in the sienna suite we are going next year in June and then down to Vegas to stay at southpoint in 1 bedroom suite we love it. Thank you so much for great video.
Wow, that sounds like a great itinerary, in two of my very favorite spots!!
Beautiful Resort
It sure is, I really wish I could have stayed longer!
Good for you Paula for continuing to work. There is such a need for quality employees like you to still be in the work force.
Thank you, Gary - what a nice thing to say 🥰
I'm so glad to have known the Peppermill with you both! Looks like a lovely place to visit. If you're not ready to retire , it's better to continue then. I retired because of Covid-19 and it's not a good idea. I should have stayed too! I loved my job!
Hmm well maybe you can look around for a part-time gig that is kinda fun and low key? We sure have a shortage of good quality workers these days! 🥰
Been going to the peppermill in Vegas since the 90s. It's an OG hidden gem
So cool to see you in Reno!! Peppermill looks great
I love Reno! There were times in the past where we came close to moving there, but it never worked out for one reason or another.
Great video, the peppermill is a beautiful restaurant
Ohh for sure! And of course we just love all that history...
That was a very interesting video to watch. I've never been to Reno and don't intend to but it certainly is fun to see the resorts out there. Thanks for yet another review of the Peppermill in Vegas. I'll definitely have to put that one on my bucket list. Thanks for an excellent production; I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
We assume that most of our viewers won't visit Reno, but we liked the tie-in with the Vegas property, and we thought pairing the two would make for interesting viewing. Looks like it did! 😉
Really, really loved this! My manager stays at the Peppermill when he visits our team in Reno and it was fun to see😉
We are so glad you liked this one - and believe it or not, the Peppermill Reno contacted us a couple days after the video went live, and invited us up to stay! 🥰
@@paulamckenzie that’s awesome!!!!!!!
@@kimdennin 🥰
Great video Dale and Paula! Your videos are always a pleasure to watch and listen to. 👌👍
Thanks so much, we appreciate you joining us for the Peppermill twofer!
Darn! I was there in Reno at the Peppermill while you were. Would have loved to say hello.
The PM is my home away from home. I know that Dale would love all the no smoking VP bars including the sports bar and the sports book. There are six of them. No problem getting a nice G&T. Great video!
Oh sigh, I missed ya! I agree, I think Dale would love the place, and I'd love to stay for a long weekend and just enjoy all it has to offer. In the past, the two of us have stayed at Grand Sierra, but I may have changed my mind...
Thank you again for a wonderful and informative video! xx
Thank you for joining us for the Peppermill twofer!
@@paulamckenzie wouldn't have missed it! xx
I enjoyed it it was a nice place lots of games lots of thingsAnd pretty good food
It is a nice resort in that everything is right there under one roof - you don't need to leave if you don't want to.
Great video! I enjoyed seeing the Peppermill in Reno. I went there in the 1980's, so it's fun to see what has been added since. I'm surprised the location in Las Vegas has not put up a multi-story hotel.
You know, maybe they decided not to jump into this particular shark tank lol...they have other properties in a suburb of Reno, and in rural Nevada, and they are very successful.
Thanks again for your wonderful video logs! Love all your review of LV history... we go to Reno Peppermill, will have to try the LV location.
We are so glad you enjoy the history - thank you for watching! 😊
Thanks!
Aww thank YOU - that is so kind of you! 🥰
The pace of your videos is excellent! I can't wait to go to the Peppermill in Vegas!
That is such a terrific compliment - thank you Katie 🥰
I love that you showed both of the Peppermills and the history of each. Been to the one in Vegas several times where my cousin recently retired as bar manager. FYI THE Rainbow casino in downtown Henderson was recently bought by the owner of Emerald Island also in downtown Henderson. I also liked that you mentioned that they are run by families instead of corporations. Not too many of those left.
Right, that's why we thought it was worth mentioning! No, we did not know about the sale of the Rainbow, thanks for that info.
I've been to the Emerald Isle casino in Henderson. Great local penny-slot casino! They really try hard to take care of their clientele. Plus, they're restaurant has pretty good food with very reasonable prices. We always try to stop at Chef Fleming's Bakeshop just down the street whenever we go to the Emerald Isle casino. Chef Fleming's Bakeshop has AMAZING pastries. YUM!
Great video as always, I have never been to reno but I have stayed at the Peppermill in wendover. I also love the Peppermill Cafe in Vegas.
Well you have us beat - we would LOVE to visit Wendover!
@@paulamckenzie there is some pretty cool history around wendover like the wendover airfield where the pilots who dropped the nuclear bombs in WW2 trained. You also have the Salt flats where a lot of land speed records have been set.
@@starkiller18 We definitely want to do a rural Nevada driving tour - this state is fascinating.
I learn so much from both of you. And your incredibly positive attitude lifts my spirits so much.
OK this made our day -- thank you for this wonderful comment 🥰
Well done! You always make things enticing~Hugs!
Thank you Mia - not hard to do, with this great subject matter 🤗
Outstanding video, as always! I’ve been to Reno a couple times, but I’d sure love to stay at the Peppermill! What a lovely resort! Hope you’re feeling much improved, Dale! And as a side note, my husband had intended to retire this year (he’s 68), but we felt that with the economy being as it is, it was not an opportune time for him to leave. Hopefully, NEXT year….depending. Thanks again for your excellent vlogs! We certainly enjoy watching and living vicariously through your adventures! Take care! 😎👍❤️
Thank you Nancy for this lovely message -- and I feel really good hearing from folks like you and your husband, who have come to the same conclusion about retirement. Makes me even more sure we did the right thing!
Thank you for the insight on the Peppermill. We've never eaten nor stayed there, but would definitely like to try it. I enjoyed your breakfast at the Peppermill episode as well. I'm sorry that you had to delay your retirement, but completely understand why. Like you said, it's the best decision for you right now. Wishing you lots of good health Dale. Get better soon so we can hear you sing on your fantastic vlogs. (We're groupies now) We hope you have a great week and we'll see you next week. Take care :)
Well hello groupies! 😁 We love groupies! Dale is working hard to beat this sinus thing, I promise. As for the retirement decision...each day that goes by we are more sure we did the right thing there. See ya Sunday!
Good for you, Paula. Keep up the good working life. You’ll know when the time is right.
Yup, I want to see this inflation get under control, where I feel that being on a fixed income would be doable!
I've always wanted to eat or have a drink at the Peppermill on the Strip but never got around to it. That will change on my next visit, thanks to you two!
Ohhh yes, make time to stop in!!
the Peppermill has a "sister " called the western village in Sparks ( 25 or so min away) it's like a mini version and super super nice, the let pets stay too
Yep we are aware of that, and many of you have mentioned it in the comments. We didn't feature it or mention it because we have never been there and didn't have any footage for it...we featured the two that we had visited personally. 😊
@@paulamckenzie next time you are out that way if you can check it out, super luxurious beds too😁
Enjoyed this video! Happy Sunday!
Thank you so much for joining us for the Peppermill Two-fer!
There is also a Peppermill Hotel Casino in Wendover, Nevada.
Love seeing you guys again !!!
LOL thank you - we hope you continue to see us every Sunday for the foreseeable future!! 😁
Great video Paula and Dale! I love the Peppermill in Vegas, I generally land from my flight early morning and make a b-line to the restaurant after I pick up my rental car. Their food is second to none! Paula; I am happy you are happy with your work decision. Take care and stay safe and healthy out there. CAB 😍
Really? Peppermill is your first stop when you arrive here? I love that!
As another POST mentioned ... Peppermill also owns Western Village in SPARKS, NEVADA.
Yes, they do, as well as a couple of properties in Wendover. But, we basically focused on the two that we personally visited. 😊
We always loved the Peppermill in Reno. They used to have great Blackjack Tournaments.
Their casino wins lots of Best Of awards, I bet they still do 😊
