Primm Nevada in its hayday was a great place to stop, shop and play. With several thrill rides and even a free tram that took you back and fourth over the freeway. As a child I was amazed at all this place had to offer including the buffalo shaped pool at Buffalo Bills. Primm was always the better property between Buffalo Bills and Whiskey Pete's and pricing reflected that. Their players program was aggressive and generous. If you played even the bare minimum for a few minutes you were guaranteed a future free comp for a room and a meal at their restaurants. The arcades were always state if the art and features Sega and Neo Geo Games! Parents would leave their kids unattended with a roll of quarters. Eventually, Primm and the surrounding properties declined in popularity as fewer and fewer guests visited. You could tell by the traffic and parking lots that this place was no longer a preferred place for guests to visit. Even the gas stations were dead. With prices well above Vegas, people knew to just keep driving to save a few bucks. Primm will eventually become a ghost town which is sad because it will live on in my memories. Thanks for all the fun times and last opportunities to get even before heading home. My hope is that a new owner comes in and decides to revamp this place and somehow find a way to make it a must stop attraction. It deserves it. The employees who will be laid off, good luck. I hope you find work immediately. Thanks Primm, Buffalo Bills and Whiskey Pete's. Stateline legends. read more

A FUN STOP & SHOP! Primm is a favorite of mine in Nevada as it's a popular gateway to the state. It's got good food and neat little spots to take a break. I like Whiskey Pete's Casino and Resort, it's got cool Bonnie and Clyde fare/history. Buffalo Bill's is also fun, although it can be a ghost resort sometimes. Primm has an amazing rest stop/visitor center. It's got Starbucks, Las Vegas' famous Pinkbox Doughnuts, clean restrooms, and a sizable convenience store. I always stop in Primm whether I'm leaving or visiting Vegas! It's a must-stop. Sometimes I forget something in Vegas and I can buy it in Primm. (especially Pinkbox). Primm is about 40 mins away from Las Vegas, it's not too long of a drive if you decide to stay here and drive to Vegas every day you're visiting the area. Primm has the freeway run right through it so it's easy access to Vegas. Would I live here? Not really, it's very touristy and honestly I'm a city boy. Vegas is one of my favorite cities in this country so obviously I would live there instead. read more

The place you pass by when you know you're almost to Vegas. I don't typically stop here but when I do it's just to get gas. I'm not sure if either of the casinos are open any more but I know the gas stations, starbucks and the drive thrus are open. The outlet mall doesn't exists anymore (maybe a few stores) but it's slim pickings. There are a few outlet malls in Vegas though if you're looking for some deals. read more

Primm Nevada is about 40 miles south of Las Vegas (LV), NV. It's a very small community of Primm that sits right next to 15 Fwy and is not far from the Nevada-California border. Visitors from Southern California must pass through here as they head into or from LV. I have made stops here in the past myself for restroom breaks, a visit at Whiskey Pete's, a shopping stroll in its impressive 100 store factory outlet at Fashion Outlets of LV, and even a couple nights stay at Primm Valley Resort & Casino. Within this community, they also have golf courses, a thrilling rollercoaster, a rollercoaster at Buffalo Bill's Resort and Casino has a 225-foot drop, which makes it one of the tallest rollercoasters in North America. Cool! I looked up Primm to see what else it has to offer. If you're into nature wonder, Ivanpah Dry Lakebed is a popular landsailing destination. Primm has also hosted several world-famous events, including the 1997 World's Strongest Man competition. Sweet! If you're into motorsports, annual racing events are held in Primm throughout the year. Nice! read more

Primm Nevada - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Primm, Nevada

Primm has a bad name. If you only knew, then you would know its not so bad. There is a SBux, Death Wish Coffee, Pink Donut Box, Taco Bell, McDs, gas and lodging. There is also a concert arena. It makes for a quick last minute bathroom or snack stop before hitting Vegas. It is also a quiet place to stay away from the bells and whistles in Vegas. In a good year I visit Vegas at least 5 times. Maybe 6 times. We usually stay here because it is just over 3 hours away. It makes the drive to and from Los Angeles a little better knowing its closer. After we finish being in Vegas we keep an eye on the traffic before heading back. The people here are chill. Yes some people live in a little apartment complex behind the hotels. The 3 hotels are not that bad. Whiskey Petes is closed right now for a re-model. Primm Valley hotel is currently undergoing upgrades. Buffalo Bills is the main hotel open. Some roonms are dog friendly. The drive to Vegas is another 30-45 minutes from here. read more

I have to Second those Yelpers who rated Primm aka 'Stateline,' 3-stars.... As much as I've enjoyed traveling to Las Vegas, NV prior to the Pandemic, those days are gone now till I figure out a solution with the new hobbies I picked up during the Pandemic. Rating this border 3 stars because it was Always so extremely Smokey inside 'Stateline.' Even though it was a convenient rest stop for tourists taking pics, getting a quick meal fix, or using the restrooms at the Outlets before driving into Las Vegas city itself, just the smokiness was something else. They could have upgraded their Central Air System? We would stop at the McDonalds here or just go straight to the food court inside the Outlets which I heard from my cousin nowadays that it didn't make it through the Pandemic?! read more

Primm Nevada - 2+years' ago..... - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Primm, Nevada

This is the small town that many a motorist passes through when travelling between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Like many other travel stops in the country, this place offers everything you'd need to make a pit stop before hitting the long open road again. The travel center here has clean restrooms, a gas station, some food options, and Starbucks. Close to this travel center sits hotels with casinos. There is a roller coaster in front of one hotel, although I've never seen it running. One interesting landmark of this small town is the Lotto store, which officially sits on the California side of the state border. This is a good place to take a breather and to fuel up. For food, I would wait until you reach Vegas or LA, as there are far better options in the major cities. For snacks and refreshments, its not too shabby. read more

ONE AWESOME INTERSTATE 15 SERVICE AREA Primm markets itself as a resort. In reality it is a unique supersized Interstate 15 service area with hotel rooms. Primm is a supersized service area at the California and Nevada state line where you could check into the California and Nevada state line. It is a state line place where the California theme park and Las Vegas casino meet. A Disneyfied monorail connects two casinos: Buffalo Bills and the Primm Valley Resort (not exactly). A smaller tram running on monorail tracks connects Primm Valley Resort to Whiskey Pete's. Inside Buffalo Bills the casino culture displays itself at the tables, bars, and one-armed bandits where the theme park culture displays itself in the Adventure Canyon Log Flume and Desperado Roller Coaster. Primm is where Nevada gamblers get a chance to play the California Lottery and where California gamblers get to play casino games. Hotels: There are three so-called casino resorts in Primm. On the east side of Interstate 15 stands Buffalo Bill's and Primm Valley Resort. On the west side of Interstate 15 stands Whiskey Pete's. Buffalo Bills is a western themed casino with the Adventure Falls Log Flume and Desperado Roller Coaster passing through it. The Primm Valley Resort is a non-themed casino adjacent to an outlet center. And Whiskey Pete's is a small western themed casino. Buffalo Bill knocks out Whiskey Pete in hotel attractions and size. Primm is known for it's inexpensive hotel rates. Restaurants: When it comes to dining, Primm isn't breaking records. Primm dining is a similar experience to any service area. The majority of restaurants are fast food. They include three McDonald's, Panda Express (in Buffalo Bill's), Carl Jr's (outside Primm Valley Resort), and the Outlet Center food court. The casual full service restaurants include Denny's (Buffalo Bill's), I-Hop (Whiskey Pete's), and Original House of Pancakes (Primm Valley Resort). There are the casino buffets that average low ratings in the Yelp reviews. Of course what service area doesn't have a Starbuck's. Primm has two that serve both sides of Interstate 15. Fuel: Primm is a popular stop to fuel up. On the east side of Interstate 15 there is a Chevron and Texaco fuel mart. On the west side of Interstate 15 there is a Chevron fuel mart. Entertainment: Buffalo Bill's is Primm's palace of entertainment. The Desperado Roller Coaster is a royal flush when it comes to thrill rides. A far gentler ride is the Adventure Falls Log Flume. The Desert Star Arena is the Primm spot to see concerts. Just walking through Buffalo Bill's and taking in the Western theme is entertaining. Riding the monorail between the casinos is entertaining. Gaming in one of the three casinos or the California Lottery store is entertainment. Immediately south of the Outlet Center, Ivanpah Dry Lake gives hours of outdoor entertainment for land sailors and hikers. Conclusion: Primm may not be the greatest resort, however it is one awesome service area. When I am driving on Interstate 15 between Nevada and California I will be taking a rest in this supersized service area. read more

Coming from California, you know you are a mere 1/2 hour away from Las Vegas when you reach Primm. Why should you stop at Primm? - to stretch your legs - to check out the Outlets, good variety of stores, but terrible inventory - to grab a bite to eat - to use the toilets - to get your first taste of gambling Do not get gas at Primm unless you are on fumes. If you can make it another 1/2 hour, you can get gas in Vegas, even right as you approach the M Hotel. Don't even get Starbucks, as the prices are jacked up, and not even done right. Do not stay at the hotels here unless you're too tired to drive to Vegas, or if Vegas is completely sold out. The hotels are sketchy and even if Vegas is sold out, you're better off going to Henderson. Primm is just the gateway to get to Vegas, or if you're leaving Vegas, its your last chance to burn some cash at the slots or tables. You can also get a California Lotto ticket on the California side. read more

Primm Nevada - Outlet stop! - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Primm, Nevada

It's definitely something you should check out, but try not to buy gas at any of the gas stations, because it's over a dollar more per gallon than anywhere else. Come on down to Primm on your way to Las Vegas or back home in California. read more

It is named after the original developer of the town, Ernest Jay Primm. Their is only 3 casino/hotels in the area, plus one outlet shopping center. They have a very lucky lotto store where people win all the time. read more

Primm, Nevada will always remind me of my first road trip when I was 21. Friends and I were happy and screaming Vegas when we first saw all the lights. This is before GPS and we were using a map. We confused Primm with actual Las Vegas. I remember us thinking Las Vegas should be bigger than this. Nowadays I usually like stopping here for some quick gambling, gasing up, grabbing a quick bite to eat and to take a break from the road. If you don't want to deal with Las Vegas and get your quick fix of gambling and some shopping this is the place to stop. The casino hotels are also very affordable here. read more

When you go through the 15 Freeway from LA and you pass through Primm Nevada, you realize that you are only 30 minutes away from Sin City! Just 30 minutes away! (Without traffic). What do you do? You stop, enjoy the outlets, maybe enjoy a little bit of gambling if you do so incline here. There are a few casinos here in case your achy achy gambling can't wait til Vegas! You can also find here THE MAD GREEK, which has opened up in Baker and Primm. I went once 8-9 years ago and I had a little bit and I remember loving it because I don't usually eat Greek food. But Primm is usually a stop because you want to go to the outlets. To be honest, the outlets are quite nice. It's hot outside because of the desert but you can enjoy yourself in the Primm A/C And if you ARE in the state of Nevada and you want to try your chances at a CA Lotto ticket, there is a street named after the lotto ticket here. You can "cross" the stateline on a street to buy the ticket. There looks to be a small town in Primm, but it's not really a small town, when you look at everything. It really is for passerbys to have fun before going to Vegas or going back home to CA. Enjoy your gambling, betting for one last time in Primm if you're heading back! Enjoy your first chances of them if you're heading to Vegas! I do so wonder, if one day they actually will build houses so that this place could thrive as a small town, like Henderson. Time will tell. read more

Nice resort. Lots of slots. Many places to eat. Employees are attentive and respond to your needs.

As my friends and I drove back from Cali, we stopped here to get gas and inside there was a Starbucks. I usually get the green tea matcha latte hot with soy milk instead of regular milk as I am lactose intolerant. Out of all the Starbucks I've been to, this is the only one that charges me extra to substitute regular milk for soy milk. read more

Plenty of bathrooms to use on either side of the highway. If you're stuck in traffic and reading this, I highly suggest stopping as it'll be another hour (or two) before you see anything as nice in either direction. read more

A nice ride to get out of the city for a bit. read more

I stopped at Whiskey Pete's in Primm Nevada on the way home to Southern California from a quick trip to Utah. Great value for a very nice room that was well maintained and clean. Service was friendly, and helpful. I would definitely stay there again... read more

Primm is a regular stop when rolling into Nevada. Gas the clunker up and take an air conditioned walk in the outlets. It is a good spot to shop before the onslaught of the strip. Primm is that first and last stop in Nevada depending on the direction you are travelling. So come on in, hit the casino if needed, and enjoy a walk which is definitely needed after crossing the Mojave. read more

I made reservations at PRIMM at state line Nevada for 4/20/18. We were checked into our room # 4547. After unloading our suitcases, I went to the bathroom, and noticed stool in the toilet. Then I noticed blood stained on the bathroom tile floor, on the shower curtains, on the door jams to the bathroom, and all around the door handle to the hallway. I called housekeeping and spoke to the supervisor. Relayed what we found in the room, she did apologize, and said she would take care of it. She sent a worker to clean it up. With no gloves!!!! She never did come up herself. We were transferred to another room, next door. Went to the reservation desk, and spoke to the assistant manager, told him how we found the room. Finding the room with blood is a bio hazard situation. He acted like he was listening, as he was looking at the casino floor, shook his head and said "sorry about that" and basically dismissed the issue. I asked another employee for a manager. Was given a name. Went to the house phone. Left a,message on an assistant's phone, with all my info. GUESS WHAT???? NO CALL BACK YET !!!!! Hence, the posting on YELP...... read more

This spot, while a rest necessity, is the single reason for horrid traffic on the South bound I-15, as well as for alignment damage to any vehicle that tries to get back on the 15S (egregious pot holes). If the States if Nevada and California could get their respective acts together,and fix this traffic gridlock by widening the road, the patrons would be happy to spend the money there, rather than be perpetually pissed that they were trapped in auto hell. read more

another great place to stop both on your way into and out of Vegas. make sure you stop on the Outlet side of the the why...not the other side... the other side for some reason feels so ghetto and crowded! outlet side has tons of food options and you can even go shopping or take a ride on the roller coaster! read more

I had to stop from sick child. IF YOU HAVE SELF WORTH AND PRESERVATION ,KEEP DRIVING BY -recommendation. ,The town members/owners/ etc must give 0 fks about anything in this hell hole. Anything of any value is closed down early on Saturday night if even open at all. Just about Every parking lot for every business filled with trash even with empty parking lots (looking for something, anything to eat other than McDonald's and nothing , nothing open. Yet trash in most lots etc over flowing. not to mention the $1:25 premium up charge for a gallon of gas $3.75+ gal currently, when only 25 miles or so from Vegas and in vegas $235-2..59 avg .

No to thrilled with this place. But it is cleaner that the other casinos in the surrounding areas.

there really is only one reason to come here: to stop on the drive through the desert to Vegas. We did just that and stopped for lunch in the maze of a mall and got lost wandering around looking for the food court. read more

I work at subway in primm.I have been there for 3 years. Only bad thing is the traffic

2 stars because of golf. This place sucks. it's the first gang banger hotel built for gang bangers. The elevators are all scratched up with gang names the rooms suck still and no food on week days to talk about. Mad greek is the best choice. Would it kill the staff to put a bar tender in the sports bar newly built but not staffed on week days at BB. They the ownership has given up and just like water seeks it;s own level so does this place. No reason to take my golf buddies to a place that looks like it's closed on a Thursday. I did get lucky there. hit a 2000.00 jackpot with 4 aces and the kicker, the kicker was everyone seemed confused that worked there on how to pay it. Took an hour to get the slot mgr I guess to process the win and pay me. To be honest I have never in the 10 years I've been there seen a hand pay going down. Over all poor place poor presentation and they really need to hire a consultant that understands the aspects of building a business up that has been so depressed for so long.The place has so much potential read more
