A Reno institution, the Peppermill combines a legendary 24-hour diner known for enormous portions and retro glamour with a full casino resort and the Spa Toscana — consistently rated among the best day spas in Nevada. The Capri Tower rooms are modern and well-appointed, while the original resort building maintains a delightful retro character that locals love.
Peppermill Inn Reno at 2707 S Virginia St is a Nevada institution that has grown from a roadside diner to a full-scale casino resort over more than five decades while retaining the warm, family-owned character that distinguishes it sharply from corporate-chain properties. Operating since 1971 on South Virginia Street approximately 2.5 miles south of downtown Reno, the resort is built around three defining elements that have cemented its reputation in northern Nevada. The Peppermill Restaurant is a legendary 24-hour diner with enormous portions, retro glamour, swooping neon interiors in pink and purple, and a devoted following that spans multiple generations of Nevada residents. The Spa Toscana is consistently ranked among Nevada's top day spas: the Tuscan-inspired facility features a grotto whirlpool set within a stone-arched cave, a warm mineral pool, over 20 treatment rooms, and a steam room and sauna complex. The Capri Tower represents the resort's premium modern accommodations — well-appointed rooms and suites with updated finishes significantly more contemporary than the original tower. The casino floor spans 107,000 square feet across multiple connected sections, with a comprehensive sports book regarded as among the best in northern Nevada, a full table game selection, and an extensive video poker floor popular with experienced players. Fireside Lounge — featuring a circular fire pit surrounded by curved booths and a round ceiling mirror, an icon of 1970s resort design — is a Reno nightlife landmark open late every night of the week. The resort is convenient by rideshare and RTC Ride bus from downtown Reno.
