There was a similar outbreak at the peppermill's other properties in Wendover. Why isn't there more news coverage about this serious problem?

I have visited the Peppermill on more than several occasions and it is one of the cleanest Hotel-Casinos in Reno which is why i feel comfortable walking inside of there, especially the hotel area. I just recently made a comment about how i notice staff is constantly cleaning unlike other establishments i walk into. I too felt ill after this very hot weekend ( and the bbq). My allergies have seemingly been elevated as well this season. I am tired of hearing about this supposed virus when people get a normal flu. Why don't people take baths and wash their hands and quit pointing the finger. Take responsibility for your dirtiness because the Peppermill is near sparkling clean.

My sister came down with this virus on the 4th of July while staying at the Peppermill - she was not a part of the wedding party. Lately the maids don't do a very good job when cleaning the rooms, I know from experience!
