Passed Primm for years on the way to Vegas - only stopped once, I think for a bathroom break - saw no reason to stay there.
The Indian casinos in California have taken a lot of Vegas business, my relatives who love casinos all go to the much closer Indian casinos in the Palm Springs and San Diego regions - said they’re very nice, clean, well maintained and much closer.
That and Vegas has gotten SO expensive - resort fees, parking fees, expensive restaurants, high table fees - it is no longer the great, fun, cheap, get away it used to be. I haven’t been since 2020 and we used to go at least twice a year.
I also never want to fly into an airport named for Harry Reid.
Don’t forget online betting, state lotteries, that help quench the “gambling fever”...

It was originally named for Sen. Pat McCarran (D-Nev.), a great Cold Warrior.
