When one speaks of the finest hotel casino resorts in the Reno area, the Peppermill rightly comes up in the conversation, and in fact it comes up a lot when you speak of the best place to stay and gamble in the area.
The Peppermill has been around since all the way back in 1971, opening up as the very modest Peppermill Coffee Shop and Lounge. Things have really taken off since then though and this is now a world class casino resort, and has won many awards along the way.
For starters, the Peppermill has earned the AAA four diamond award, given to the best hotels in the country, for 6 years running. They have won a total of 19 first place awards by the Reno News and Review. U.S. News and Report ranked them the #1 Reno hotel and in the top 20 in the state. Expedia went as far as to rank them the number one hotel in North America.

In addition to their 1,623 rooms, including 785 suites, there are 10 restaurants, 15 bars including the top rated nightclub in Reno, 107,000 square feet of convention space, a 33,000 square foot spa, a 9,500 square foot health club, and a 107,000 square foot casino.
The Peppermill has recently undergone a $400 million renovation, transforming it into a Tuscan themed property, and also turning it into one of the best places to stay and gamble period, where all of your needs are well taken care of, and nothing is neglected.
The Peppermill is owned by Peppermill Casinos Inc., a local company consisting of 5 private investors which also owns several smaller casino properties. While there is certainly something to be said about staying at a casino that is owned by a multi billion dollar company, when a casino is locally owned, you can bet that the people are going to be especially well taken care of, as their sole focus.

The privately held company consisting of five investors has also invested in the remodel of its Western Village in Sparks, Nevada also to a Tuscan motif.
History[edit]
Before Peppermill Reno grew into the resort, spa, and casino that it is today, the Peppermill Coffee Shop and Lounge was opened on April 23, 1971 by lifelong friends Nat Carasali and Bill Paganetti.[2] The Peppermill expanded into gambling in 1979, and a small casino and motor lodge was opened in 1980.[2] In 1986, the casino underwent a major expansion adding a convention center and hotel tower.[5]
The Peppermill expanded to Las Vegas, Nevada on December 26, 1972 with the opening of Peppermill Restaurant and Fireside Lounge.[6] To date, Peppermill Resort Spa Casino has not opened a hotel or resort in Las Vegas. Peppermill Resort Spa Casino further expanded by opening Western Village in Sparks, Nevada in 1983, the Rainbow Club in Henderson, Nevada, also in 1983, and a Peppermill Wendover in Wendover, Nevada in 1984.[2]
Dining[edit]
The Peppermill Resort Spa Casino offers a variety of restaurant dining options from casual to fine dining.
Geothermal energy[edit]
In 2009, the Peppermill began a project to heat its property with geothermal energy. A geothermal well was drilled just north of its Tuscany Tower. In September, drilling was completed, with the well tapping into a reservoir of hot water 4,421 ft (1,348 m) deep, averaging approximately 170 °F (77 °C). A temperature of at least 165 °F (74 °C) is required to be efficient enough to replace four boilers which had previously supplied all of the property's heating. In addition to providing all of the domestic heating needs of the facility (with the exception of the laundry facility, as well as a few dishwashers which still require natural gas), the wells provide some of the cooling for the facility. Completion of the project was in early 2010.[7] A reinjection well had already been constructed on the property just west of the marquee during a prior expansion. An additional reinjection well was also constructed to the south of the existing reinjection site, at the far southeastern corner of the resort's property (the most recent well is at the northwest corner of the property), allowing for the maximum possible distance between the extraction and reinjection sites. The Peppermill was planned to be the only hotel in the United States for which the heating is provided solely by geothermal energy derived on their immediate property.[8] In October 2009, the Peppermill hosted the Geothermal Resources Council (GRC) and GEA Trade Show.

While the temperature of the well is not high enough to generate steam, an experiment was conducted which proved that electricity could be generated with the well. At 160 °F (71 °C), the well was only able to produce 270 KW of electricity, well below the 9 to 10 MW required to power a facility of its size.[8] A similar system is used several miles to the south at the Steamboat Springs. Using such a system, the Peppermill could generate 3 to 4 MW of power, to be used during peak energy periods.[9]
