Somebody's trying to buy the place! VegasRex has it here: http://www.vegasrex.com/2008/03/08/possible-peppermill-buyout/

OMG...if it isn't open for the convention, Where Are We Gonna EAT!!!! They got a microwave at the Splashbar? How long does a bag of Whoppers last before they turn? I can see breakfast at Jerry's Nugget but I ain't going there in the evening for dinner. Any snickerdoodles in the Riv Room incentive pack? Riviera buffett or Circus buffett? Uurrp.

However, it could be win/win deal if no food was available, like if the location could be utilized to sell t-shirts and bottled water.
