As far as food goes, the Peppermill is offering a little bit of everything this Thanksgiving.
"We have more traditional options in Cafe Milano and our steakhouse," said Stephen Ascuaga, Corporate Director of Business Development for the Peppermill. "And then, I don't know about you, but not everybody wants the traditional turkey dinner, so we have Chinese, sushi, a little bit for everybody."
Restaurants are now at 25% capacity, so to help with spacing and social distancing, they're spreading holiday dining over two days this year.
"We want to be mindful of all the protocols in place," Ascuaga said. "So we're offering our Thanksgiving specials and dining options Thursday and Friday, just to spread things out, in case people feel more comfortable coming in on Friday."
He says the biggest challenge with these new capacity restrictions is going to be accommodating everyone who'd made reservations when restrictions were still at 50%, but that adapting to new protocols is something local casinos are getting pretty good at.
"I think that's one of the benefits of our whole industry," Ascuaga said. "We can move things on the fly as mandates are changed. We're very adaptive, we're very hopeful we can keep going this way. We have a lot to still be thankful of and we have a great community here."
Last weekend the Peppermill hosted their annual Pie it Forward fundraiser, selling homemade pumpkin pies.
They sold 1,650 of them and will donate all the proceeds - more than $8,800- to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, a resource that's been especially vital this year.
