Primm Valley Casino Resorts (formerly known as Primadonna Casino Resorts) is a group of three hotel-casinos in Primm, Nevada, along Interstate 15 at the California state line. They are owned and operated by Affinity Gaming. It is named after the Primm family, benefactors of the hotel and casino properties by Ernest and Gary Primm.

The hotels are a popular stop on the drive between Las Vegas and California.

The various hotels are connected across I-15 by both a monorail and a defunct amusement train line that was connected with Buffalo Bill's and Whiskey Pete's.

History[edit]

The hotels were built by Gary Primm and the Primm family at State Line, Nevada, the informal name for the area. The family's history in the area is the reason why it received the official name of Primm.

Whiskey Pete's was the first of their hotels. The Primadonna Resort was the second hotel built, and it was later renamed as the Primm Valley Resort. These two hotels are connected by a single car monorail across the I-15.

Buffalo Bill's was the third hotel built. Buffalo Bill's and Primm Valley Resort are connected by a monorail.

The company acquired an option to buy an 18-acre site on the Las Vegas Strip.[1]Gary Primm of Primadonna Resorts approached MGM Grand Inc. president Bob Maxey in 1994 with an idea for the site: a casino recreating the New York skyline.[2] A joint venture was formed between the two companies, and construction began in March 1995.[3] Completed at a cost of $460 million, the New York-New York Hotel and Casino opened in January 1997.[4]

The Las Vegas Outlet Mall was added as a part of the Primadonna Resort in 1998.[5]

On March 1, 1999, MGM Grand Inc. acquired Primadonna Resorts in an all-stock transaction that had been announced on November 9, 1998.[6]

Since the initiation of New York-New York, analysts had speculated that MGM Grand or Primadonna would buy out the other's interest in the project.[7] Instead of making such a cash-intensive purchase,[8] however, MGM agreed to buy Primadonna outright for $276 million in stock plus $336 million in assumed debt.[9] The merger closed in March 1999,[10] giving MGM ownership of three casinos and two golf courses at the Nevada–California state line, in addition to full control of New York-New York.

On October 31, 2006, MGM announced plans to sell Primm Valley Resorts to Herbst Gaming for $400 million. The proposed sale would not include the Primm Valley Golf Club.[11] The sale closed on April 10, 2007.

Buffalo Bill's Hotel And Casino

Large paved parking lot east of Buffalo Bill’s Casino that is easy to access, well lit, and level. Security patrols throughout the night, but never bothered anyone. Trucks stay in their “area” and RV’s in another.
There are good fast food and sit down restaurants in the nearby casinos. Some require a bit of walking.
Fuel is available at the Flying J travel center on the other side (west side) of the freeway.

I parked here 2 nights with the truck drivers on the Whiskey Pete's side. No propane in Primm April 2017. I ended up out here while I was trying to get propane in Vegas and got sucked into the rush hour traffic vortex and just wanted to get out of Vegas!
A lot of the trucks do keep their engines rumbling. I call it 'sleeping with beasts'. I would have no problem heading back there and venturing inside. I usually try to, but I wasn't feeling well.

Buffalo Bills Hotel Casino Primm Nevada

from reader S. MacRae, March 2006
Just got back from Vegas and we did stay at Primm Valley. They had a parking lot that was full of RV's and it was a nice fairly level lot and far enough away from the highway that you didn't hear it much. As far as I could tell they did not have an RV Park there. Thanks for all your information.
