A Tale of Two Peppermills: Reno & Las Vegas

[@citibear57]

"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!

[@paulamckenzie]

Aww Mike, your lovely comments just make our day...thank you! 🥰

[@allen9069]

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!

[@paulamckenzie]

We agree totally!

[@amymyselfi7085]

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

[@allen9069]

@@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.

[@ettaplace6716]

And soo happy to hear about the geothermal !!

[@paulamckenzie]

So was I! That is why I wanted to mention it.

[@timothyrill3825]

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.

[@paulamckenzie]

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. 😊

[@oh2bme1860]

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 ♥️

[@jasonmasciulli8801]

The Las Vegas Peppermill is just a restaurant and lounge. They don't have a casino or hotel in Vegas.

[@paulamckenzie]

Yes, Jason is correct - no hotel in Vegas. Sounds like you have a sweet retirement set up for yourselves - congratulations! 🎊

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!

[@Mr5150Sarge]

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

[@paulamckenzie]

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!

[@jasonmasciulli8801]

@@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 love when our videos bring back a terrific personal memory for you the viewer - that is the best outcome!

[@seaskiandme]

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!

[@paulamckenzie]

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. 😊

[@nancyg1329]

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 ❤️🎰🎲

[@paulamckenzie]

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.

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.

Yep, and it sure hasn't changed much, has it? It's a classic...

[@suesylkamanmar6779]

Great video. I enjoyed watching your video's what a great job you guys do. It was a pleasure to meet you Paula on Wednesday at Palms this is (Sylvie) , you look amazing and what a beautiful person you are, thank you for your gift. Take care of yourself.😘😘

Great video, the peppermill is a beautiful restaurant

[@paulamckenzie]

Ohh for sure! And of course we just love all that history...

[@Christine_1075]

Beautiful Resort

[@paulamckenzie]

It sure is, I really wish I could have stayed longer!

[@castanw]

Great video! Peppermill Reno has an excellent Fireside Lounge that looks and feels just like the LV version. Check it out next time you are there.

[@paulamckenzie]

Sigh...I knew that, but I was with colleagues on this trip, and did not have the opportunity to pop in there.

[@jeffreycharles5035]

So cool to see you in Reno!! Peppermill looks great

[@paulamckenzie]

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.

[@billcoleman7316]

Happy Sunday Dale & Paula. I hope it will be a blessed day for you both.

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you Bill, that's such a nice thing to say. Hope your week has started off right!

We always loved the Peppermill in Reno. They used to have great Blackjack Tournaments.

[@paulamckenzie]

Their casino wins lots of Best Of awards, I bet they still do 😊

[@BagsByCABYarnTravels]

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 😍

[@paulamckenzie]

Really? Peppermill is your first stop when you arrive here? I love that!

[@luvsdizners]

The pace of your videos is excellent! I can't wait to go to the Peppermill in Vegas!

[@paulamckenzie]

That is such a terrific compliment - thank you Katie 🥰

[@starkiller18]

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.

[@paulamckenzie]

Well you have us beat - we would LOVE to visit Wendover!

[@starkiller18]

@@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.

[@paulamckenzie]

@@starkiller18 We definitely want to do a rural Nevada driving tour - this state is fascinating.

[@jillczerwinski8870]

Fun video and history! Get well soon Dale! Sorry about the change in plans for Paula's retirement..do what's best for you. ❤️

[@paulamckenzie]

Yep, we are doing what's best, and we are both good with it. Thanks for the get-well wishes, we could use them!!

[@j.c.7809]

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 :)

[@paulamckenzie]

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 learn so much from both of you. And your incredibly positive attitude lifts my spirits so much.

[@paulamckenzie]

OK this made our day -- thank you for this wonderful comment 🥰

[@kateikeda1066]

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.

[@paulamckenzie]

We are so glad you enjoy the history - thank you for watching! 😊

[@dorasidrian7482]

Great review! I love Reno Peppermill and the rooms are very comfortable and lux. Vegas Peppermill is a good place for food and drinks.

[@paulamckenzie]

Totally agree on all counts! 👍

[@nancyparkertel511]

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! 😎👍❤️

[@paulamckenzie]

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!

[@monicasanders810]

Thanks for giving us a glimpse of the Reno Peppermill. It’s a beautiful property and I love that video behind the front desk of the beach scene with the little boy. Your room was nice and so spacious, it’s a shame you only got to enjoy it for one night. I still need to go to the Peppermill restaurant in Vegas. Visit Resorts World then head down the street to Peppermill for dinner and cocktails.

[@paulamckenzie]

Yes, right - that is a great itinerary! Or, hit the Peppermill for breakfast as you start your day...

[@gmajoanne5692]

Enjoyed this video! Happy Sunday!

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you so much for joining us for the Peppermill Two-fer!

[@aonetruthr]

I’m going to the Reno Peppermill because of this video in two weeks. Thank you so much for your recommendations and videos!

[@debbiemata9025]

That was so much fun to watch. We hope you feel better Dale. Thank you for info.

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank YOU, Debbie, we are so glad you enjoyed the Peppermill double feature!
