Original Story

Buffalo Bill’s reopened its casino in Primm, Nevada. That is the border casino town along Interstate 15 on the California and Nevada state line.

The reopening occurred on June 3, That is one day less than the second anniversary of Nevada’s casino grand reopening after the pandemic closure, which occurred on June 4,  

Buffalo Bill’s reopened because it held its first concert in over two years in its Star of the Desert Arena. The performer was Ramón Ayala. The hotel at Buffalo Bill’s reopened for the first time since March Guests were offered a VIP package for $ that included tickets to the concert and a hotel room at Buffalo Bill’s. 

The hotel at Whiskey Pete’s was also open this past weekend. This was the first time since March that all three Primm hotels were open. Normally, Primm Valley Resort is the only open hotel in town. The hotel at Whiskey Pete’s has opened for a handful of busy weekends over the last two years.

Two restaurants were open. These were Denny&#;s and Cuca’s Mexican Food. The amusement area was roped off. All food court restaurants were closed.

There is a six-seat video blackjack machine with a $3 minimum bet. It pays Its side bets are Lucky Lucky and Lucky Aces.

The $5 8/5 Bonus Poker machines are still in the high limit slot area. Otherwise, the best game that I found was on $, $ and $1 denominations with pay tables in the 97% range.
