Primm, a small oasis community on the California state line, is no longer facing the prospect of becoming a modern-day ghost town after a deal was finalized to shift several local properties to Terrible’s.

At least three Vegas legends claimed inventing the all-you-can-eat buffet.

A new exhibit is set to open at the Rotunda Gallery honoring America at 250. The exhibit features a range of items from traditional Southern Paiute.

Primm, Nevada, was once a beacon in the desert for travelers driving on Interstate 15 from Southern California to Las Vegas — a family-friendly destination, and the first place to gamble right over the Nevada border. The proliferation of casinos across America, however, has sent the town on a long decline.
It proved to be quite the prophetic question at a time when Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton, the wife of former President Bill, were about to fight it out to become the 45th President of the United States of America. This was the topic of IAG’s 2016 cover story, “Clinton v Trump,” which asked more specifically what their respective appointments could mean for the gaming industry domestically and abroad.

On a cool fall evening after the end of World War II, Las Vegas watched “officialdom and ‘cafe society’ turn out for the opening of America’s first all-you-can-eat buffet,” a local paper wrote.
