Most of Primm's residents are employees of the casinos. The community's economy is based on its three casinos (the Primm Valley Resorts), which attract gamblers from Southern California wanting to stop before reaching Las Vegas 40 miles (64 km) to the north, or as a last chance to gamble before leaving Nevada. Primm was named State Line before being renamed in 1996 for its original developer, Earnest Jay Primm, to avoid confusion with Stateline in northern Nevada. It sits on Ivanpah Dry Lake, which extends to the north and south of town. It's Niki Belle approved and while it isn't as fancy as the hotels on the strip it probably makes a great choice for families traveling with kids as well.Primm (formerly known as State Line) is an unincorporated community in Clark County, Nevada, United States, primarily notable for its position straddling Interstate 15 at the Nevada– California border. Overall, this was a good stop and a great pet friendly option if you partied too hard in Vegas and just don't want to face the traffic heading home on a Sunday afternoon. Similarly, other amenities had been updated as well, so if you aren't traveling with your dog you will want to make sure you ask for one of the new rooms. They look GREAT! The CRT television that I had in my room was gone and in its place was a modern HDTV flat panel. That being said - I did some secret squirrel detective work and snuck into one of the new rooms while the maid wasn't looking. I would like to think that during a more prime season that things like lightbulbs would have been checked as well.ģ. For $50 total (including pet fee, resort fee, and room) that's not a bad option if you want to do a weekend at a casino without having to leave the dog at home. However! The bed was clean, the room smelled fine, and it was safe with convenient access to a grassy area outside. Additionally, I found light bulbs burned out and my desk lamp (flourescent) was about to go out so it flickered pretty badly. These rooms are extremely basic with almost zero amenities (probably the smallest tablet of soap I have ever seen in a hotel. Dog friendly rooms are available on the first floor of building "B" (that's the big one in front). Instead, you need to call the resort directly to confirm that there are rooms available.Ģ. ![]() You can make your reservation online, but you will not be able to if you want a dog friendly room. When you make your reservation, you'll need to have a few things in mind. In a rock cave over to one side is Miss Ashley's Buffet, which focuses on home-style cooking and American favorites. One of the centerpieces was the "Hanging Tree" Bar where presumably you can find Buffalo Bill and various criminals he hung up for cheating, stealing, and other offenses. Inside, the western theme continues, but a thursday night in the summer is NOT the time to visit here as it was completely dead inside but it did feature a cool western theme and a fair number of slot machines and tables. ![]() Of the three properties, it is the only one that is pet friendly. If you have kids, I suppose this might be a good place to stop as well since there is a roller coaster and flume ride at Buffalo Bills (both were off when we visited though).Īlso, if you are a fan of solar energy, it is located right next to the Ivanpah Solar Energy Farm, the world's largest solar energy plant.īuffalo Bill's Resort is probably the most active of the properties and features a giant roller coaster as well as two mine-shaft shaped hotel towers. These three resorts, plus the Fashion Outlets are located just over the Nevada border and it makes a great stop if you need gas or a bio break as there is a Carl's Jr, McDonald's, Mad Greek, Taco Bell, KFC, Subway, and Dairy Queen available between the two sides of the road. The other two are Whiskey Pete's and Primm Valley Resort (you can see it below with the red roof). ![]() Despite that, here's what we found inside :)īuffalo Bill's is actually one of three casino resorts found in Primm Valley Resorts. Frankly, I'm still not sure why people would stop there instead of going all the way into Vegas or back home to Los Angles, Orange County, or San Diego. Each time I drive by, I've wondered what they were like but I've never actually stopped till this past weekend. As you drive on I-15 from Las Vegas to Southern California, you will find a cluster of hotels, a "fashion outlet" and a California Lottery store.
