A gloriously preserved 1972 Strip landmark: neon, mirrors, and the sunken Fireside Lounge with a flaming water pit. Giant portions, stiff drinks, retro-diner-meets-lounge vibe. Long open 24 hours, though some weekdays now start at 7am. Kitschy, iconic, and unmissable.

Frequently asked questions
- Has it appeared in movies?
- Yes, its distinctive look has featured in films and countless photo shoots over the decades. Part of the fun is recognizing a room you've probably seen on screen.
- What should I order?
- Portions are enormous, so consider sharing; the breakfasts and the towering cocktails like the Scorpion are the classics. Come for the atmosphere and the spectacle as much as the food.
- Do the drinks live up to the hype?
- The signature cocktails are famously large and strong, served in oversized glasses. They're a fun splurge, though not craft-cocktail precise; you're paying for the experience and the pour.
- Where exactly is it on the Strip?
- It sits on Las Vegas Blvd near the Wynn and across from Resorts World, an easy walk or Deuce ride from mid-Strip hotels. That central spot makes it a convenient late-night stop.
- What is the Fireside Lounge?
- It's the sunken cocktail lounge behind the restaurant, famous for its circular fire-and-water pit, blue neon, and plush booths. It's one of the most photographed retro rooms in Vegas and the reason many people come.
- Is the Peppermill open 24 hours?
- It's long been a 24-hour spot, but current listings show some weekdays (roughly Mon-Wed) starting at 7am with 24-hour service Thursday through Sunday. Hours have shifted recently, so call (702) 735-4177 to confirm if you're planning an overnight visit.
- Is it good for a date?
- The dim, neon-lit Fireside Lounge is a beloved date spot, kitschy and romantic in equal measure. Grab a booth by the fire pit and order a shareable cocktail.
- Is it touristy?
- It's on the Strip and definitely draws visitors, but it's the real 1972 original, not a manufactured throwback. Locals still bring out-of-towners here precisely because it's authentic old Vegas.
