This is not a pleasant review to write, because I've always enjoyed the Fireside lounge, and would go back there in a heartbeat when looking for a nice place to have a drink with friends.
However, the Peppermill restaurant seems to have gone downhill since our last visit. The environment is still wonderful and intimate in its cheesy neon-y way, but something has happened to the food. Namely, it's no longer worth the price they're now asking for relatively simple fare.
A basic plate of eggs and pancakes is over $10 now. Omelettes are around $13. Uh... what? $3 for coffee... very, very oily coffee.
My chorizo and eggs featured overcooked scrambled eggs with very dried-out chorizo mixed in. The beans that came with them were right out of a can and heated for way too long, until they were cracked and dry.
My wife's corn beef hash and eggs was runny, with canned hash underneath. It was greasy and not very good.
Normally, I'd not be so disappointed by greasy or not well cooked breakfast food -- they're not called greasy spoons for nothing -- but for the price, the ire rises dramatically.
It saddens me to say it, but if you're after great breakfast fare in Vegas, go for Blueberry Hill, or Hash House a go-go instead. You'll be much happier. Maybe we just got a bad line cook that day, but the impression is going to stick with us for quite a long time.
