The Peppermill Restaurant & Fireside Lounge at 2985 Las Vegas Blvd S is a retro American diner on the north Strip of Las Vegas, Nevada, dating to 1972. It sits across from the Fontainebleau area, away from the central resort cluster, and has remained a landmark because of its vintage design: plush booths, mirrored surfaces, neon accents and a theatrical, 1970s-era atmosphere. The restaurant is open 24 hours, which makes it a reliable choice for late-night meals and early breakfasts.
The food is large-portion American diner cooking. Frequently ordered dishes include the fresh fruit platter served with a homemade muffin, the Peppermill French toast and a Cobb salad. Breakfast items are available throughout the day and night, and portions are generous enough that sharing is common. Prices of roughly $20-35 per person are moderate for the Strip.
The Fireside Lounge, adjoining the restaurant, is a separate bar with its own hours. It is known for a neon-lit fire pit set in a pool of water, a plush, dimly lit lounge and tropical cocktails, including the Scorpion, a large shared rum drink. The lounge has appeared in several films and television productions, and the combination of dark seating, neon and flame draws both couples and photography-minded visitors. The dress code is casual, and noise is moderate in the restaurant and lower in the lounge.
The restaurant does not rely on reservations; seating is walk-in. Waits are typical at weekend brunch and after midnight, when crowds from nightlife venues arrive. Visiting on a weekday morning or mid-afternoon usually avoids a queue. The location is a short rideshare from most north and center Strip resorts, and the venue has on-site parking. Visitors who want the lounge atmosphere often choose an evening visit to the fire pit followed by a late meal in the dining room.
