History

The casino opened on May 14, 1994[1] with 592 hotel rooms, and a new tower was added in 1995.[2]

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.[3]

Tram to Primm Valley

A tram links Buffalo Bill's to nearby Terrible's Primm Valley Resort and Casino[4]. 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 the I-15 to Whiskey Pete's[5], although the connection takes a walk across the entire hotel.
