Buffalo Bill’s Hotel-Casino in Primm reopened on Christmas Eve after being closed since March 2020 because of the pandemic. It is one of three casinos operated by Las Vegas-based Affinity Gaming in the community along Interstate 15 at the Nevada-California border.

The privately held company did not make any formal announcement about the re-opening other than a post on the Primm Valley Resorts Twitter site, saying it was proud “to have the reels spinning again at Buffalo Bill’s.”

Representatives from Primm did not respond to emailed questions about the reopening. Buffalo Bill’s was the last of the three Primm casinos to reopen.

In the Twitter statement, Primm Valley said “multi-million-dollar upgrades” would be coming to the casinos in 2023.

Primm said slot machines and table games were available at the casino, along with the Wagon Wheel Grill restaurant, although a Nevada Independent photographer found only a handful of customers a few days after Christmas.
