The Primm family has partnered with Terrible’s to prevent the closure of the Primm gambling destination.Summary
The Primm family, owners of the land in the Primm, Nevada, gambling area, has announced a partnership with the Las Vegas-based company Terrible’s to save the struggling state-line destination. This deal follows the announcement by Affinity Gaming that it would close Primm Valley Casino Resorts, a move that threatened hundreds of local jobs.
Terrible’s, owned by the Herbst family, will take over operations from Affinity Gaming, marking a full-circle moment as the Herbst family previously lost control of the area during a 2010 bankruptcy. The partnership aims to preserve the legacy of the site while creating new opportunities for tourism and investment.
Cory Clemetson, president of Primm South Real Estate Co., expressed relief at the deal, noting the devastating impact the planned closures would have had on the local workforce. Terrible’s is currently in the process of reacquiring a gaming license to begin operations.
