A family steps in to save the dying casino town of Primm, Nevada
The Primm family partners with Terrible's to revive the declining Nevada town after its last casino hotel announces closure.Summary
Primm, Nevada, once thrived as a stop for travelers on Interstate 15 with casinos, hotels, a roller coaster, monorail and an outlet mall featuring brands like Coach and Michael Kors. The growth of tribal casinos in Southern California drew visitors away, leading to the closure of Buffalo Bill's and Whiskey Pete's hotels, the停止 of the roller coaster and monorail, and the desertion of the Prizm Outlets, leaving only a thrift store open. Affinity Interactive, operator of the town's casino-hotels, announced the shutdown of the final hotel, Primm Valley Resort & Casino, which would lay off hundreds. In response, the Primm family—descendants of founder Ernie Primm—teamed up with Nevada-based convenience store chain Terrible's to attempt a revival, with Cory Clemetson expressing hope for a major comeback and citing Las Vegas’s continual reinvestment in attractions such as the Venetian, Mirage, Sphere, Allegiant Stadium and T-Mobile Arena as a model for renewal.
