Mudslide at the Fireside Lounge @RenoPeppermill

 


During a Staycation last month, Neon Beast and I decided to hit up the Fireside Lounge at the Peppermill before heading to our room in the West Wing.  Side Note: Beauty and the Beast?  He didn't want her to go to the West Wing because it was TOO FAR AWAY FROM THE CASINO/LOBBY!!!  Over 500 steps according to my Fitbit.  Don't let my Fitbit know that I had this drink please?

I was so tired after walking all over the casino, moving the car, and having a pretty terrible AYCE Sushi experience at Oceano (the quality of the fish was not sushi-grade, but everything else was good), that I just wanted to have a drink that would be dessert as well as booze to help me sleep through the construction of those new houses by Virginia Lake.  That being said, our room was very beautiful and comfy.  We almost left the TV on one of the channels where they show other places because the music was so soothing.

It was a pricey drink at $11.00, but it really was tasty.  I'd been waiting to go to the Fireside Lounge since I turned 21.  I had this big dream that I would have my 21st birthday celebration there, and imagined how cool it would be.  As it turns out my birthday fell on Spring Break so everyone was out of town and I ended up at a steakhouse with my parents and having a fishbowl drink with Neon Beast at the now defunct Trader Dicks.

I've had quite a few mudslides in my time, but I must say that this is the best I've ever had.  The fireside lounge has seen better days I'm sure, but it's still nice and cozy and looks like the old coffee shop, which is oddly comforting.  Even though it's a lot of money, I would come back here with a group of friends and pretend it was for my birthday.
