Primm, Nevada

From Stormravengaming

Primm (often called Primm Valley, after one of the casinos) is a tiny community in Clark County, Nevada, primarily notable for its position straddling Interstate 15 where it crosses the border between California and Nevada. It sits at the edge of Ivanpah Dry Lake.

Three casinos in Primm attract gamblers from Southern California wanting to stop before reaching Las Vegas, 40 miles to the north, or as a last chance to gamble before leaving Nevada. Primm's hotels also serve as reliever hotels for when Las Vegas is hosting major conventions. Primm's casinos are Buffalo Bill's, Primm Valley Resort, and Whiskey Pete's.

Primm also has an outlet mall, the Fashion Outlets of Las Vegas, and some apartments for the workers in Primm. The 2000 census population for the community (which is not currently a census designated place) is 436.

A convenience store on the California side of the border is the closest access for southern Nevadans wishing to play the California State Lottery, and it is said to be the highest-selling location in the entire state. The only road access to the store is from Nevada. There is also a golf course and resort on the California side.

A new airport for Las Vegas is planned to be built north of Primm, and the California-Nevada Interstate Maglev project has proposed building a maglev train that will pass through the town.
