The Peppermill Restaurant: Old Las Vegas in a Diner

Las Vegas is known for being a place where you can eat for a reasonable price and still get good food. While at the Consumer Electronics Show, The Peppermill caught my eye as a place I needed to check out. The Peppermill is located on the Las Vegas Strip at 2985 Las Vegas Blvd. next to the Riviera Hotel and Casino. It has a rainbow-themed neon sign that reminded me of the Old Las Vegas strip before the newer casinos moved into town. Nostalgia set in and I was off to The Peppermill.

As I walked into The Peppermill the nostalgic appearance of the outside of the restaurant matched the inside with its neon speckled carpet, fake vegetation, and dim environment. The menu was not very diverse, but had interesting variations on diner fare such as the asparagus omelet which I happened to get and turned out to be very good. The prices of the food were very reasonable at 10 - 15 dollars for most meals on the menu. However, some of the main entrees were closer to the 20 - 25 dollar range. What was even better is that the portion size was very generous for the price of the meal. My asparagus omelet with hollandaise sauce covered half the plate with hash browns covering the other half along with a toasted bagel. As far as the service at The Peppermill, the waitress we had was very friendly, and always made sure we were accommodated. With all that considered, The Peppermill is the 24 hour diner to go to if you are looking for a better option than Denny's in Las Vegas.

It's late Thursday night and you just got done chilling with your friends...You and your friends are hungry but sick of Denny's...Head down to Las Vegas Strip and go to The Peppermill for a nostalgic diner experience.
