The Peppermill opened its doors on Dec. 26, 1972, at 11 p.m. The Peppermill is one of the few stand-alone structures still in existence on the Strip. It sits back from the street behind a nice, convenient parking lot – a throwback to the days when you could park directly in front of every casino. If you’re heading north on the Strip, the Peppermill will be on your right, wedged between the Silver City Plaza and the Riviera Hotel. If you’ve seen a great film like “Casino” or a really bad one like “Showgirls,” you’ll recognize the Peppermill the minute you walk in. Both movies had interior scenes in the restaurant and lounge; so has the “CSI” TV show. The aptly-named Fireside Lounge, dark and intimate, is where you’ll find the Peppermill’s signature element: a fire pit with gas flames dancing out of a pool of electric-blue water. Sidle up to the bar and order one of 60 exotic drinks from Alabama Slammers to Zombies. Or live dangerously and try an ice cream drink specialty like a Creamsicle or Ultimate Mud Slide, concoctions that taste like milk shakes but sneak up on you fast. he restaurant interior is as colorful as its history and as kitschy as it gets, with a mirrored tile ceiling, plastic trees sporting fake cherry blossoms, and oversized horseshoe-style booths with faux-Tiffany flamingo lamps perched over every table. The booths are done up in a combination of maroon, green and blue velour, with red neon skirting running along the bottoms. The menus, the napkins, even the server uniforms all carry the same floral color scheme. Either these guys are branding geniuses or they own a flower shop on the side. Somehow, it all works. And every table comes with its own peppermill, which just makes good sense. The Peppermill has always been a 24-hour restaurant with every menu item available throughout the day. This short history i found on the internet is from Brian Rouff!! Stupid as i am, i don't have pictures from the inside. How dumb can you be?? But if you go to Las Vegas, be shure to stop at the Peppermill. Don't eat the rest of the day because the portions are gigantic. If you like delicious food, stunning cocktails and a very friendly staff you know where to go!!

trying to get some hand made gifts done for Christmas. Since it's been really hot here in AZ it's a great time to be inside keeping busy : )
