Peppermill Casino/Resort in Reno
My family just went skiing in Tahoe and we stayed at this place for two nights. The room rate is affordable and there are all kinds of cuisine that you can enjoy while staying there. You can find entertainment for everyone there. It’s comfortable, warm and convenient.
There are twelve restaurants, ten bars, a beautiful fitness center, night club, arcade, outdoor swimming pools, wedding chapel, convention room and the newly opened luxurious Tuscana Spa.
I took a quick tour in the spa, it’s just amazing. Didn’t have enough time to experience but I heard people have been enjoying themselves in the spa for six hours. Wow, gotta be good.
My room was spacious with two king size beds, two LCD TVs, shower and Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. Just the right size for the family. After returning from skiing, we all went to the outdoor heated pool. It’s an unusual experience because your body is submerging in the warm water but your face is surrounded by cold, crisp air. We had so much fun but getting up from the pool was hard, because it was freezing at night.
If you have kids, they will like the arcade because mine certainly did. It has many newer and entertaining video and exercise games.
If you want to ski, Mount Rose ski resort was just 30 minutes easy driving from here. Also a favorite ski resort for the locals.
The Nice Shop in Millbrae
Owner Betsy Liu is really friendly and nice. It’s got a great selection of clothes, shoes, handbags, and accessories in this spacious and clean store. Everyone can find something to your own taste.
I actually bought a beautiful cocktail dress here for a wedding party. Everyone asked me where I got it. Now you know…
If you find something you like but think the price was not in your range, try asking for a better price. Betsy probably will give you a discount.
After the show, many friends asked me where it is in
The address is 210 El Camino Real. Between Hong Kong Hollywood Hair Salon and Fook Yuen (馥苑) Seafood Restaurant
