Peppermill offer: Penthouse suite-3 nights, $1,000 in free play, limo to and from airport.

Mrs. Ryder and I planned to gamble, drink, eat some nice meals, and get some much needed rest (see below)

Arrived on Sunday, March 4th and new host was standing outside to greet us upon arrival. He made us reservations at the steakhouse for 8PM and offered to join us for cocktails at 7PM at the steakhouse lounge.

Checked into room 1613, which was really nice. Full Bar, jacuzzi, dinning room table (for eight), seperate bedroom, 2 bathrooms.....the works.

Was a little leary on having drinks with my host (no host had ever offered this before), but it was like we had been friends for life, ended up missing our dinner reservation by over an hour just drinking and shootting the bull. We ended up meeting our host for cocktails the next two night as well.

Gambled and pretty much lost my ass. $1,000 in free slot play was pretty much gone in what seemed like minutes.

Got back to the room by 4AM with cookies and milk waiting for us in the room. (sent by host with thank you card)

Day 2. Planned on sleeping in, but was woken up at 9AM by extremely loud noise. They decided to remodel some of the suites on the 16th floor and were using jack-hammers to break up the marble floors. Could barely even speak to Mrs. Ryder in our room it was so loud and annoying.

Sent Mrs. Ryder to spa for a facial and pedicure. I gambled and lost my ass again. Met host again that evening for drinks and then had a nice meal at Romanzo. Planned on getting hammered, so we could sleep in the next day. Tought Mrs. Ryder Pai Gow poker (nice slow game, which you can concentrate more on drinking than playing) She doubled her money and was so excited (Mrs. Ryder is not a big gambler) Finally headed to room at 5AM. A nice basket full of candy and snacks was waiting for us in our room.

Day 3. Once again woken up at 9AM by the lovely jack-hammers. Sent Mrs. Ryder to a mall via Peppermill limo so she could shop a little and get away from the noise. I headed back to the casino and lost my ass again...LOL

Headed to VIP to see if we could change rooms for last night.(and so I could take a much needed nap) Met another person in elevator that got on from floor 10. He said he was heading to front desk to get another room because the noise was so loud in his room (WTF!!!!!)

Met host again for some cocktails and had dinner again at the Steakhouse (LOL). Gambled and once again pretty much lost my ass again. Decided to hit the bed early this night and was there by 3AM

Day 4. Went home and slept for 3 days straight...LOL

Plusses.......Loved my new host. What a great guy. Took care of everything. Final bill at check-out= $4.00 (room service tip)

Minuses.....That damn jack-hammering. I close my eyes now and can still hear it.

Plusses......Loved the new sportsbook area.

Minuses......Gambling was not very good at all.

Plusses.....Host already set me up for trip to come out in September to go to the reno air races (something that I have always wanted to do)

Minuses.....Might not actually make it back to the Pepp until September (busy summer already scheduled for me)

Plusses......same type of play in a vegas strip casino would maybe have gotten me a couple of free nights (mid-week) Peppermill hands out the comps very generously.

Minuses......Erin still has not sent me a pic of her huge rack!

While we got very little rest this trip, we still had a ton of fun

Ryder,
Thanks for the report.

Im sorry to hear about all the noise. It sounds like they are remodeling the suites before the regular rooms??? I certainly hope i dont encounter that when im there.

Our last trip there, we had some noise above us. It was like they were sliding something across the floor. Highly annoying.

I am going to make sure to request the top floor this coming july. I hope they get all the rooms done soon. I cant wait to see what they do to them.

You must spend a ton of money there if you get $1000.00 in free play. Holy crap!!!

Did youy manage to take any pics for me?

Nice TR, thanks for posting...LOL

What does Mrs. Ryder think of their spa?? Is it even a spa, or just a beauty salon with massage rooms? Did the host comp her treatments too?

The air races are fun. I'm sure the Peppermill will have a VIP tent. My dad has a couple of friends who own/rent hangers out there, so we usually get to hang out in the pit area...tons of fun, if you're into that kinda thing. It can be a little boring in between races though. I would probably only go out for the final day.

Oh, and you wouldn't have any of that noise at Harrahs....LOL

Erin, your right. I guess I should not have called it a spa, because its not much more than a salon where you can get a facile. The messages are done by the work out room. (but don't try to get a happy ending one, I got slapped the last time I was there)

Allison......sorry no pics, you have to go see it yourself...LOL

On the $1,000 in free play. I actually had one offer for $500.00 in free play that ended March 10 and another offer for free play that began March 1st. So basically I hit the Pepp at the right time. (i believe there are 2 times a year when you can do this and take advantage of double offers)

I keep hearing about the noise with the remodel, but I always thought that if you took enough medicine during the day (booze), that you should be able to sleep through it. You proved that theory wrong.

I have never seen a host doing cocktails with a client. I want a job where I can get paid and drink too. Very Happy

Sounds like the gambling was really bad. Ouch. Slept for 3 days ? Very Happy

What is the deal with Erin's rack of gambling chips? Razz

They do it all the time, they become your "friend" and then they get you to unload all your money at their casino, but the minute you stop playing there or lower your amount of play they won't give you the time of day....LOL, sorry Ryder, but you know it's true.

Ryder,

Great trip report. Sorry to hear the gambling was not good for you all. Regarding the noise, a jackhammer makes sense...there was one pounding away above my spa suite on the 3rd floor back in January and I couldn't figure out what it was.

That's awesome you were able to get a double offer with the free slot play. I'd go crazy, it would probably be gone in a second for me. That penthouse suite looks pretty cool too!

Hope you have better luck on your next trip.
