Statements on Hotel Smoking and Gambling

Smoking
The Peppermill Reno Resort complies with the Nevada Clean Indoor Act, which prohibits smoking in indoor public spaces. As a result, the Hotel and Convention Center and meeting rooms are non-smoking. Additionally, smoking is not permitted in restaurants, lounges where food is served, hotel lobbies, elevators, guest room hallways, retail stores and other indoor spaces. The Casino floor and certain lounges where food is not served are exempt. Conference attendees might smell smoke when they are near the Casino, including the lobby, escalators, and hallways around the conference meeting spaces. Air purifiers are located around these areas to reduce the smell of smoke.

If you have additional questions about the smoking policy at the Peppermill Reno Resort, please contact them directly at 866-821-9996.

Gambling
The Peppermill Reno Resort offers a casino on the first floor. We recognize that gambling is a form of entertainment for those who wish to participate. While conference attendees do not have to gamble, we recognize that some people may struggle with gambling. If you would like resources on responsible gaming please follow this link to the Peppermill-Reno Responsible Gaming site and/or contact the National Helpline for Problem Gaming, 1-800-522-4700.
