From the vivid, floor-to-ceiling screens beaming idyllic waterfalls and naturescapes into a Reno high-rise resort, to the gas fireplaces lending warm, retro vibes to a Las Vegas lounge, experts say Peppermill properties are unmistakable and iconic.
They bear the fingerprints of Bill Paganetti, who died Dec. 29 at age 85 after a brief illness. Competitors and friends say his meticulous attention to detail and deep connection to his family have helped shape communities across the state where he did business.
Paganetti was called an icon of Reno on more than one occasion. Not only did he co-own the Peppermill Resort and Casino south of Midtown, which is distinguished by its Tuscan decor and Italian-style statues and fountains, his portfolio included the Western Village in Sparks, the Peppermill Lounge in Las Vegas and Montego Bay in West Wendover.
