Ceviche. Steak. Ribs. Fried shrimp. Mussels.

Seriously so good! I've never been to wendover so didn't know what to expect. This buffet was seriously amazing! Everything from salmon, to shrimp, to Chinese food, to Mexican, plus salad and cheviche. So so yummy

like dining in the Employee's Lounge, complete with workers wearing dirty work shirts, baseball caps on. Not the experience we were looking for, thanks. Monday, 1130 hrs.

Lunch Buffet, variety of salads. Some hits and misses. Greek and Broccoli Bacon Salads are the best options. Turkey Artichoke is a pass.

I tried their weekday lunch buffet (~$15) and I was rather impressed, certainly compared to other similarly priced buffets in SLC. The lunch buffet included a variety of salads, Chinese dishes, Mexican dishes, pizza, a variety of potato dishes, and my favorite, prime rib. The prime rib is certainly what made this a 4 star review, especially since they had two varieties of horseradish. They also have an extensive salad and dessert bar. The prepared salads are hit and miss, the Greek was fantastic and Turkey-Artichoke was revolting and the rest in between. I also particularly liked their Chinese dishes, there was a noodle dish and a spicy beef dish that were fairly good. The only seafood item at the lunch buffet was chilled peeled shrimp served with lemon and cocktail sauce. Good shrimp but nothing fancy. Service was fantastic. My group of six always had beverage refills and dirty plates cleared as soon as they were empty. (Don't forget to tip your server!) When I left I was full and happy, and for $15 I think a good lunch spot.

Stopped to stay the night while on our way to Reno. We…read morealways stay at a Peppermill while in Reno so thought we'd give this one a try. Front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. Got us checked in quickly . Room is nice and comfortable. Ate dinner at the Mexican restaurant inside the casino. Played the slot machines for several hours. Floor staff were also very nice. By contrast.... Roberto at the bar closest to the service and front desk was horrible. Couldn't get my player card to work while trying to play a poker machine and he continued to harass us after we ordered a beer. We had played several hours and had no problems on the floor with the 2 beers we had. He continued to hover and continually asks" are you gonna play , buddy?" Over and over. We were playing but had a glitch with the card not reading my loaded $ on the player card. Asked what the deal was.... we're trying to get the card to work. He said" they are watching" you need to be playing to have a beer. True and also we were playing. Just having a card issue. Finally just told him to take the beer back and went to the front desk to get a new card. Didn't come to be harassed and treated rudely by the bartender. We are paying for a room, ate dinner at the restaurant, playing the slots all day and he was very out of line. Don't go to the bar where Roberto works!

We stayed at the Peppermill 3 nights in Oct., 2026. Beautiful accommodations and wonderful Casino…read morealthough quite expensive on the restaurant side. The only issue was with the room, after checking in we noticed a sewer gas smell coming from the bathroom. Reported it to the front desk and they assured us it would be taken care or promptly. upon returning to our room later that night we could smell some spray that had been used to cover the oder. The following night the oder was back, upon checkout we mentioned this to the desk clerk and she stated that we would be getting a discount, still waiting. We will be staying here again, as our friends who traveled with us had no problems with their room.

The Nugget is no longer the place it once was. I have been staying here for years and have sadly…read moreseen the quality and hospitality go down hill every year. This last trip was the absolute worst in the hotel. First, I called down to the Pit to get a room as I always do, and found out that all comps are handled differently than in the past. Although I haven't played a lot since COVID, my play in the past was appreciated and they always took care of me. I would have expected them to want that level of play back, but oh well. When we arrived to check-in at 8:00pm, we stood there waiting for almost 30 minutes for the 4 people helping 2 guests! Was a joke, but got checked in. The room we got had walls so thin you could seriously hear the guests whispering in bed through the walls. We asked to move but they said the hotel was sold out. We gambled for a while and ended up making a few hundred dollars. Even though the casino was packed, dance floor was full, and plenty of people giving this casino lots of money, it took almost 25 minutes to cash in chips from blackjack at the cage!!! One window girl dealing with a guy trying to get money out of numerous over drawn credit cards and her manager standing behind her doing nothing while a long line formed! Are you kidding me??? On a busy Saturday night, this is how you treat people trying to get their money back? We then decided to rest and gamble the next day. Off to the room... We now noticed that the bed did not have any blankets on it and only 2 very thin pillows. We called down and they said nobody was available to run them up to us and that we would have to come down. This was just past 2:00am and we were already laying down. How is there NO STAFF to do anything??? I went down to get the blankets and pillows. When I arrived they found two thin blankets but explained that they just gave away their last pillows! I asked the girl for a late checkout and she at least was pleasant and gave me till noon. We put the do not disturb sign on the door and went to bed. Guess what? Knock on the door at 8:00am!!! I called down and talked to Nick who confirmed that he saw the "Late Checkout" notes on my account but offered no apology. I wanted to talk to the manager, he placed me on a very long hold and I hung up and called back. He then said it wasn't him, but I could tell it was him. Then he said that him manager, Tammy, was in an hour long meeting and could be disturbed. He said he would talk to house keeping. An hour and a half later, knock knock, house keeping!!! At this point I'm mad and really want to talk to Tammy. Guess what?? Yup, still in that hour meeting apparently!!! This is the WORST run hotel I have ever been in. I can get past the out dated room, the thin walls, the lack of basic linens, etc. but the complete lack of any qualified staff, complete disregard for guests, and the lack of any hospitality is absolutely unacceptable for a hotel that supports this no longer shining nugget of a washed up has been casino! Unfortunately, it's time to go to another casino and not run by this same management team!!!! Slight Update: Tammy was able to talk with me and my wife before we left and offered us a room voucher for a "bounce back" between now and when it expires in May and assured us that she was going to address as much as she could. She did have the cleaning staff in her office at the time we spoke. Hope things get better. I will try to come again before the end of May and will post an update then. Sincerely, Greg & Amy

Was here for less than 12 hours, no desire to return. Smoke free room. Still smells of smoke in the…read moreroom, sleep clothes reeked of smoke after sleeping here. None of the plugs work, tried the one in the bedroom space, the one next to the hairdryer, also the one in the bedside lamp. Phone had no way to call the front desk, housekeeping, anyone except for to call other rooms at the hotel or call out. No fridge, very poor lighting, no swing bar latch for the door, tv remote didn't work, no way to set the temperature, just fan high, low, off settings. Cool or hot on a slide tab. The list could go on. I'm hoping they are going to be doing full renovations on these rooms soon, not worth the price they charge for something so run down.

When all the other casino parking lots were full, this one was sparse-which might deter most folks,…read morebut I was in the mood for fewer people, so I happily stopped by. My friend and I found a blackjack table and settled in for some fun. The dealer was fabulous-when we told her that we were new to the game, she was patient with us and explained how the game works, without telling us explicitly what to do. I appreciated her one on one attention. The casino itself was pretty dark compared to the other places. It's like they want to save on their electric bill so only turned on half the lights. I still give them a good rating because that dealer who was so good.

Hot water was warm even when set to the hottest setting. Had an issue with bill, went to speak to the person at the counter and she talked on the phone for over 13 minutes while I waited. No one else around the counter for miles. Bedding (comforter) If you want to call it that was paper thin, froze all night. I think between the broken elevators and the poor bedding and no room service I'd stay miles away from ever staying at this place again. I'd give it a zero if they'd let me. BUT that Cafe of theirs had some pretty good food. Ate there twice and the servers were awesome and the food delectable.

I do not recommend the mushroom appetizer, the crab smelled fishy and I was a little worried about food poisoning, so I didn't finish them. I was able to get in last minute, so if the other decent restaurants are full in town, I would recommend this place. They are still better than any buffet or cafe. Reasonable prices as well, I'd come back.

We were thinking that maybe McDonald's breakfast sandwiches were our only option again, then this random person on the casino bus overheard us talking about food. He suggested The Nugget Steakhouse. We had NO IDEA there was a steakhouse there, let alone with great service and FOOD!!! We finally found the place, in this hidden corridor, reminiscent of a patio in Florida or an Embassy Suites. Sat down and were immediately greeted. You can sit in the veranda or the inside. Service was speedy and kind. All of our questions and preferences were answered. It was great! We went with the prime rib and loaded baked potatoes, that they load up, right in front of you! Everything was well-prepared and delicious! We'll definitely head back there!
