Our RV parked in the Peppermill "RV and Large
Vehicle" area, row G, 2005
Casino Camper Report, 2005 (June
2006 and July 2007 updates - NOTE this is historical
information only, as the parking policies have changed. Please be sure
to read newer reports above)
Update, July 2007. Although there's still major construction here the parking garage is finished, so RV parking
is being allowed in row G and H of the lot on the North side of the casino.
See aerial photo below, RV's allowed in red area only.
The official policy says you must "...Have a Peppermill Passport Card or be
a guest of the hotel." If you're a Gold level or above you can obtain
a VIP parking pass for your car. We play here a lot, and have achieved
Platinum level. I get the parking hang-tag and tape it to the inside
bottom center of the RV windshield so security can tell we're players and
not squatters. Players are welcome.
Construction workers park in this lot too and take up lots of space.
I recommend arriving after 5pm on a non-holiday Monday - Thursday,
because of this. Or, you might park in another row upon arrival and then move after 5pm.
Please only take up one pair of spaces - keep your slides in if possible.
It's really tight.
2005 Report: Great location, security patrolled, lighted
all night, sunny (for your solar panels). It's just a little off
level, so please be sure to use boards under your jacks so you don't damage
their parking lot! They play music in the parking lot through speakers
at the top of light poles. It's nice, but can get a little loud.
It's a variety of country, pop, jazz, and standards. We enjoy it, but
we're glad they turn it off at 10pm.
Security will likely put a notice on your
windshield the first night to remind you where it's OK to park and where
it's not. Trash containers
provided. Length of stay is variable. A few nights is fine, but
you don't want to wear out your welcome. If you're not
gambling, and they realize you're just taking up space you may be asked to
move on down the road. If you cause problems, or your RV is leaking
something, you're out of there.
If you're a gambler, playing every day and
they know it, they welcome you to visit. This is especially true if
you're in the top 2 tiers of their comp system (Platinum and Diamond). For you, they will
even allow parking during special events when most other RVers without a
room in the hotel are asked to leave.
This is a VERY NICE PLACE and our
favorite stop in Reno. So, if you're a trouble maker go somewhere else!
 We sure don't want this
great parking opportunity to go away.
They have lots of full pay video poker
and progressives
(although FPDW has been taken out), good
table conditions for Craps and Blackjack, and a very nice poker room with daily
tournaments. The comp system is a secret. No kidding, they won't
tell you how many points it takes for a comp dollar. However, it's
fairly generous. We usually eat 1-2 meals each day with comps.
2006 update on
comps:
I discovered the other night that food comps here are even more generous than we
thought. We've never been turned down, but have always been frugal.
I discovered we have at least double what I expected in the account -- a
very pleasant surprise!
