An icon since 1972

The Peppermill has served on the Strip since 1972 — oversized dishes, a neon-drenched dining room of booths and fake trees, and a film pedigree its hosts recite: Casino, Showgirls, a stack of others. The breakfast film comes early to test 'best breakfast in Las Vegas' against the portions; the 2026 'best diner in America?' review works a full meal to its verdict on whether the legend still cooks; the icon-question film (two devoted Vegas eaters) tests the same thing from the regulars' side. The locals' review zero in on the legendary pastrami burger in the 80s-classic room; a tradition-stop update (nachos always ordered) checks whether the classic is still the same and lands on 'timeless must-visit.'

Key takeaways
  • Breakfast at a Strip institution since 1972

Is The Peppermill Restaurant & Fireside Lounge STILL a Las Vegas ICON?

James and Paul Try it All

James and Paul Try It All finally visit the world-famous Peppermill Restaurant and Fireside Lounge — serving hearty, oversized dishes since 1972 to visitors and Vegas royalty alike — and ask whether it is still a Las Vegas icon. The Fireside Lounge's sunken fire pit gets its moment alongside the food.

Key takeaways
  • Serving since 1972 — the icon question tested
  • Oversized portions are the house style
  • The Fireside Lounge and its fire pit featured

The Fireside Lounge

Half the property is the lounge: a sunken fire pit room where you can wait for a table or simply come for a drink by the fire — the balanced worth-a-try film reviews it as a destination by itself, and the 2026 dinner visit stays for the building lit up at night, the neon exterior part of the show. The top-of-the-menu test orders the most expensive steak — two steaks and all the trimmings running well over $100 as filmed (2023) — and argues that in Vegas, that's not a bad deal; the Peppermill sits across from Resorts World, and its films keep using the neighborhood as the yardstick.

Two Peppermills — don't confuse them

One film exists on this page partly as a public service: the Tale of Two Peppermills covers both properties that share the name — the Reno Peppermill casino hotel (vlogged by Paula on a Reno trip) and this one, the Las Vegas restaurant and lounge — and separates them explicitly. They are cousins, not the same place: the Reno resort's hotel films were deliberately kept off this page, and the summary states the distinction so no reader books a Reno room expecting a Strip diner. What the Vegas original offers is simpler and older than any resort: a 1972 dining room, a fire pit, portions that predate the tasting-menu era — still, per film after film, cooking.

Sources: the nine videos on this page — breakfast, lunch and dinner reviews (2022–2026), a most-expensive-steak test, a tradition-stop update, the two-Peppermills explainer, and a worth-a-try assessment — summarized from their entries in our catalog.

We Ate the Most EXPENSIVE Steak at The Peppermill Las Vegas 🥩

All You Can Vegas

All You Can Vegas orders the most expensive steak on the Peppermill menu — at a diner famous since the 1970s, across from Resorts World — and finds two steaks and all the trimmings running well over $100, which in Vegas, he argues, is not a bad deal.

Dale McKenzie

Dale McKenzie's tale of two Peppermills: Paula flies to Reno and vlogs the historic Peppermill casino hotel there, while the film gives the Las Vegas Peppermill Restaurant & Fireside Lounge its full due back home.

Key takeaways
  • Covers BOTH Peppermills — Reno casino hotel and Las Vegas diner
  • The two are distinct properties sharing a name
  • The Vegas restaurant's history and lounge featured
