That place, and the other casinos in Primm, have been dead for some time now, though still shambling around like zombies. There's no reason to stop in that town, unless you left Vegas and forgot to get gas or food--and boy, will they make you regret that mistake! Possibly the most expensive McDonald's in the US, and gas prices over a dollar per gallon more than in Vegas.

I just went through there on Sunday.  I needed to take a break and stretch the old legs.  Whiskey Pete's and Primm Valley were ghost towns.  There were people at Buffalo Bill's since they have a William Hill Sportsbook and the games were on.  Also, they had a slot tournament going on. 

I'v never been to any of the Primm joints.    Its been on my list for years - I just could never find a reason to drive out there.   Seems like it might be a good place to stop and get a beer driving to and from So Cal.   There's not much civilization  until you get to Barstow.

I went many years ago. My best friend lived in Las Vegas at the time.It was fine then.LVA has a meal coupon. I don't know what it's like now. We plan to drive there for the day next visit.
