Primm Valley Resort to Close July 4, Ending Primm’s Last Full-Time Casino

The move reflects a long visitor slide driven by new California casinos that siphoned Primm’s core market.

Overview

  • Affinity Gaming, which notified employees Tuesday, will permanently shut Primm Valley Resort on July 4.
  • A notice filed with Nevada’s Department of Employment, Training & Rehabilitation says 344 employees will lose their jobs.
  • The company said the Primm Center food-and-sundries hub and the Flying J truck stop will also close permanently.
  • Workers living in the Desert Oasis Apartments tied to the resort were told to vacate by July 6 after their leases were ended.
  • The future of the near-empty outlet mall attached to the resort and nearby gas, fast-food and EV sites remains unclear after years of decline that already saw Whiskey Pete’s close in December 2024 and Buffalo Bill’s scale back to event-only operations.
