BUFFALO BILL'S REOPENS

Buffalo Bill's Resort & Casino in Primm reopened on December 24, 2010, after a nearly four-week closure. The property had been closed since November 29, 2010, for renovations of the 1,242 rooms and portions of the casino.

All gaming areas, shops, restaurants and the Desperado roller coaster have been closed during the period.

Only the 6,500–seat Star of the Desert Arena, which is on the property, remained open during the closure.

Herbst Gaming, which operates Buffalo Bill's, also operates the other two casino/hotels in Primm: Whiskey Pete's Hotel & Casino and Primm Valley Resort.

A Renovated Property

Hotel guests who made reservations at Buffalo Bill's during the renovation period were moved to either of the two other properties. Whiskey Pete's and Primm Valley Resort have a combined 1,501 rooms.

The renovations at Buffalo Bill's include remodeled guest rooms and energy–efficient light bulbs in Buffalo Bill's interior.

A Denny's Restaurant is being added replacing the property's coffee shop. About 250 employees who work at Herbst Gaming's properties in Primm have been affected by the closure.

Some will take vacation days while others are being furloughed.

The closure has allowed Herbst Gaming to condense operations. Late fall and winter tend to be a slower time of year for visitors to Primm.

The 61,372 sq ft (5,701.6 m2) casino has over 1,700 slot machines, as well as table games, and a race and sports book.[1] Buffalo Bill's is also home of the Star of the Desert Arena, a 6,500-seat arena designed for concerts.[citation needed] The hotel has reopened on select weekends with limited hours as of June 4, 2022, and plans to fully reopen by early 2023.

The casino opened on May 14, 1994[2] with 592 hotel rooms, and a new tower was added in 1995.[3]

The ribbon cutting for the change of ownership for Primm Valley Resorts from MGM Mirage to Herbst Gaming was held at Buffalo Bill's on April 10, 2007.[4]

Herbst undertook a marketing strategy of appealing especially to California Latinos, including the addition of Spanish-speaking dealers, charter bus trips from the Inland Empire, concerts by norteño musician Ramón Ayala, and a Mexican restaurant branded with Ayala's name.[5]

The interiors and exteriors of the casino were used in the movie Top of the World (1997) starring Peter Weller, Dennis Hopper and Tia Carrere. Today the roller coaster is usually running only on weekends.

In March 2019 Cuca's Mexican Food, originally from Redlands, California, opened their first hotel location in Nevada within Buffalo Bill's. This restaurant is an extension of the brand that has 6 locations in the Inland Empire of California.

A tram links Buffalo Bill's to nearby Primm Valley Resort.[6] The multi-car tram was designed by Schwager-Davis to their UniTrak standard. Despite its name, the tram actually runs on two guideways. Each car accommodates 24 people; the four-car trains can seat 96 people with no standees. The system can transport 2,200 people, per hour, per direction (pphpd). An attendant supervises each tram, although the tram is controlled by a computer.

After disembarking at the Primm Valley Resort station, passengers can connect to a free single-car tram across I-15 to Whiskey Pete's,[7] although the connection takes a walk across the entire hotel.
