White Orchid is the fine dining restaurant at the Peppermill Hotel Casino, which as you'll know if you've ever been there is the gaudiest gaming property on Earth with bright purple neon that vomits onto your skin the moment you walk in the door. Having said that, WO is a nice, fancy escape from all of that with white linen service and a traditional French menu. The food is very good - not necessarily innovative - but a great place for a romantic dinner date, where Tiffany and I spent our last anniversary. The wine list, however, is wonderful, as casino wine lists often are. Overall, if you're in the mood for traditional French fare in a fancy setting in Reno, this is a good choice. (7.0)

Aphorisms
- The Toothless Bite of MenOne cannot assume the truth of what one declares without presuming the falsity of all incongruous declarations. Since all men assume the truth of their declarations, this presumption becomes at best ironic and at worst outrageous. Given the infinity of possible claims, who could be so vain as to think their dismal claims true? The tragedy, of course, is that we cannot but make declarations. So it seems we must speak as Gods in order to converse as Men.
- The Best Approach to Life"I don't mind what happens." - Krishnamurti
- On Proof the World is RoundThe only proof we need that the world is round is to consider that every man thinks he stands taller than the man next to him.
