That's an excellent trip report. Everything there is exactly correct. Peppermill and Atlantis are by far the nicest places in Reno but gambling wise things are getting tighter at both places.

A lot of MG machines have been downgraded . You best bets are at the bar tops, elsewhere you need to be very careful before playing. I saw a lot bad VP at Atlantis where there use to decent YP. Example the MG machines located just outside of Keno. Major downgrades. The MS machines are still present and are a lot of fun to play.

I suggestion is avoid them when when comped. The other restaurants are good to excellent. As for Breakfast I suggest you head to the peppermill for a decent meal. I will next time go there for breakfast.
