Primm Family Strikes Deal to Keep 344 Nevada Casino Jobs as July 4 Closure Looms

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 9

Summary

  • 344 jobs at Primm Valley Resort & Casino were spared after the Primm family signed an agreement with Las Vegas-based Terrible’s to operate the Nevada-California border hotel-casino properties.
  • The rescue came weeks before a planned July 4 shutdown of Primm’s last casino hotel, after current operator Affinity Interactive said the business was no longer viable because of continuing losses and failed investment efforts.
  • Terrible’s said it aims to preserve Primm’s legacy and pursue growth, while the family said the partnership should allow a more orderly transition for workers who had faced holiday layoffs.
  • Primm’s decline has unfolded over years: Whiskey Pete’s closed in December 2024, Buffalo Bill’s was reduced to special events in July 2025, and a full shutdown this summer would have idled 624 rooms and 46,000 square feet of entertainment.
  • The family said future plans could include renovations and upgraded traveler amenities, and it is betting a proposed Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport near Primm could revive long-term tourism.
