Fireside Lounge (Peppermill)

The Fireside Lounge sits inside the Peppermill, a 24-hour coffee shop and restaurant that has operated on the north Strip since 1972. The lounge keeps the original look: mirrored walls, deep blue velvet booths, Tiffany-style flamingo lamps, and a sunken fire pit ringed by a shallow water feature at the center of the room. The dim, neon-tinted space has shown up on screen in Casino, Showgirls, and television over the years.

The signature order is the 64-ounce Scorpion, a rum-and-brandy punch served in an oversized goblet with long straws and meant to be shared. The bar also pours oversized tropical drinks and a from-scratch Bloody Mary. Because it runs on the restaurant's schedule, the lounge stays open late and through the night on weekends, making it a stop for a drink at hours when much of the Strip has wound down. Food from the full Peppermill menu is available at the booths.
