... the PEPPERMILL restaurant on the Strip has the
COOLEST bar/lounge I have ever seen.
The decor was like an acid trip.
Its pitch black inside and lit with pink and purple neon,
and there's a Shag-style fireplace in the center and
flames come up out of a pool of water. Wow!
This is surrounded by a circle of soft couches.
Some of the walls are covered in what I can only describe as sheets of bizzare Valley of the Dolls style roses.
You have to see it to believe it...

like maikai from the 50s the peppermill is a survivior from the 70s.

very sad that besides the implosions of many old classic casinos
full of atmosphere and history like dunes, landmark, sands,hacienda, aladdin,
el rancho, desert inn, stardust, new frontier ...
dozens of smaller places like the peppermill fireside lounge are demolished
to make way for parkinglots and "clean" stuff like wynns etc.
