The closure of the last casino hotel in Primm, Nevada, on July 4 could make it the first gambling ghost town.Summary
The town of Primm, Nevada, located on the California-Nevada border, is facing the closure of its last casino hotel on July 4, which will put 344 people out of work. The Primm Valley Casino Resorts complex, which includes Whiskey Pete's and Buffalo Bill's, has been closing down since December 2024, with the final shutdown terminating access to 624 hotel rooms and suites. Experts attribute the decline to the rise of Native American casinos in Southern California and the increased accessibility of gambling online, leading to a shift in the industry's focus from gaming to other amenities like entertainment venues and sports stadiums.
