Buffalo Bill’s Hotel-Casino, which is located on Interstate 15 near the Nevada-California state line in Primm, reopened on Christmas Eve after a 33-month closure.
The property has become a staple sight for motorists traveling between Las Vegas and southern California, but no formal announcements came from its parent company, Affinity Gaming.
Rather, a statement was posted to the Primm Valley Resorts Twitter account saying that management was proud to have “the reels spinning again” at the casino.
The message said that slots and tables are now open for business, as well as the Wagon Wheel Grill restaurant. However, the famous Desperado Roller Coaster, once considered to be among the tallest in the world upon its opening in 1994, remains shuttered.
The account also Tweeted that all three Primm casinos would see multimillion-dollar upgrades in the year ahead. Buffalo Bill’s was the last of the three to reopen following Covid-related closures, with the other two being Whiskey Pete’s and Primm Valley.
Primm representatives did not respond to requests for comment from the Nevada Independent on the reopening of Buffalo Bill’s.
The three Primm properties were first purchased by Affinity, originally Herbst Gaming, back in 2007 for $400 million from MGM Resorts. The company then went through bankruptcy and transformed into Affinity in 2011. Z Capital Group has owned the company since 2017.
In addition to its Primm holdings, Affinity also runs casinos in Las Vegas, northern Nevada, Iowa and Missouri.
