Peppermill

Peppermill Restaurant Review:

This 24-hour eatery screams Old Vegas --- not the Rat Pack-era Las Vegas, but 1970s polyester-wearing Las Vegas, with its massive booths, mirrored ceiling, picture windows, twinkling cherry trees and royal blue, purple and red accents. Even the cocktail waitresses are decked out in halter-style, floor-length, black polyester gowns. The place served as a backdrop for the movie “Casino” --- Robert De Niro and Sharon Stone sipped drinks around the cozy fire pit in the romantic lounge's secluded bar area. The menu offers standard fare --- omelets, burgers, salads and sandwiches --- but gives new meaning to the term super-sized. We like the french toast ambrosia with cinnamon, vanilla and seasonal fresh fruit, served with a choice of whipped topping or sour cream. Soup, mixed green salad or spinach salad precedes entrées such as creamy chicken Dijon and Icelandic fish ‘n’ chips. The flame-broiled porterhouse, New York and 16-ounce rib-eye steaks are served with sautéed mushrooms and fries or a baked potato. Sundaes topped with a cloud of whipped cream and chopped nuts include the banana split.
