"Affinity Gaming confirmed the closure of Primm Valley Resorts, the last-full time casino among a cluster of three on the Southern California-Nevada border, on Wednesday morning."
"Once upon a time, Primm, Nev., had three bustling casino resorts, shiny gas stations, a roller coaster and Bonnie and Clyde's "death car." It was a bit surreal, said former visitor John Honell of West Covina: "You had this whole complex in the middle of the desert." Southern Californians traveling the arid stretches of the I-15 would see Primm pop up."
"The last of the three casino resorts will close on July 4, owner Affinity Gaming confirmed to The Times this week. Honell, a regular in the 1970s, saw the growth of a desert gamble: the expansion of the Primm property, in the dusty town once known as State Line, from Whiskey Pete's gas station, bar and slot machines into three busy resorts."
"Las Vegas insider publication Las Vegas Locally posted a termination letter from Affinity Gaming's affiliate, Primadonna Co. LLC, to employees who worked at Primm Valley. The casino is closing down July 4, with all employment ending that day too. Affinity Gaming declined to make an official comment."
Affinity Gaming confirmed the closure of Primm Valley Resorts, the last full-time casino resort among three properties near the Southern California-Nevada border. The closure ends a Nevada gambling hub south of Las Vegas along Interstate 15. Primm once offered a desert stop for Southern Californians traveling the I-15, with slot machines and multiple casino resorts that expanded from a gas station and bar into a larger complex. The final resort will close July 4, and all employment will end that day. A termination letter from an affiliate to employees indicates the shutdown timeline. Affinity Gaming declined to provide an official comment, while customers increasingly find gambling closer at Southern California tribal casinos.
