Primm Valley Casino Resorts, the last of the three major casinos near the California-Nevada border, will permanently close its doors on July 4, KTLA sister station KLAS reported.
The move came to light after a letter was sent to employees asking them to vacate their housing by July 6, two days after the shuttering of all Primm properties, according to documents obtained by KLAS.
“We recognize this is an extraordinarily difficult time and we are deeply grateful for the dedication each of you has brought to the Primm Valley Casino Resorts property,” the company said in a notice of termination obtained by KLAS. “However, due to the upcoming end of all operations at Primm Valley Casino Resorts, including this apartment complex, this letter shall serve as formal notice of termination of your apartment lease agreement.”
In the letter, dated May 5, the company said it was providing 60 days’ notice instead of the required 30 days to give residents additional time to find alternative housing. In addition to the permanent closure of all three casinos, the Primadonna Company will also shut down the Primm Center and the Flying J travel stop, KLAS reported.

A casino resident. Food, job, apartment, entertainment, free parking. Interesting.
It was better when the mob ran the casinos.
There is another very-old “Nevada borderline” casino up north at the Utah-Nevada border with a split casino-hotel building right near the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Sad Sad Sad
I remember Primm. If all the casinos AND the Flying J closes, there’s nothing left of that town except unemployed people.
Sad.
There is a gas station there with many pumps, and a Tesla recharging stations. That’s about it.
Yeah, LV has turned into such a foreign-visitor money dump that all the incidental SF/LA traffic has dried up.
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”...
Well, there needs to be another method developed to extract discretionary income from the general public.
Worked in Redding CA - 150 miles north of Sacramento near Mt Shasta a few weeks ago.
Several Indian casino’s were very busy off of I-5. And every car in the parking lot was one car that did not cross the mountains to Reno NV.
Saw BB King play down there a couple of times.
Lived in Vegas. Got out when I retired.
It was originally named for Sen. Pat McCarran (D-Nev.), a great Cold Warrior.
What’s going to happen to the Bonnie and Clyde car?
