Worries are growing for hundreds of workers in Primm who are rushing to find new jobs and homes before projected summer closures.

On July 4, unless other operators take over operations, the Primadonna Company, LLC will shut down operations at Primm Valley Resorts (the last fully operational casino), Buffalo Bill’s Resort & Casino (open for special events), Whiskey Pete’s Hotel & Casino (closed for more than a year), as well as the Primm Center gas station and Flying J truck stop.

The Lotto Store will also close.
