Whiskey Pete's Casino in Primm will remain closed for up to three years as part of a strategic move to focus resources on nearby casinos, Buffalo Bill's and Primm Valley Resort, amid declining traffic levels. Affinity Interactive, which operates the casino, cites a post-pandemic slump in interstate traffic as a significant reason for this decision. A waiver for license requirements has been requested to allow Whiskey Pete's Truck Stop to continue functioning with limited gaming options during this period, indicating the company's effort to navigate through challenging times while awaiting potential future developments like an airport project in Southern Nevada.
In recent years, and particularly post-pandemic, the traffic at the state line has proved to be heavily weighted towards weekend activity and is insufficient to support three full-time casino properties.
The closure aims to enable new investments at Primm Resorts and Buffalo Bills, with hopes of revitalizing the area amid declining interstate traffic.
Whiskey Pete's has closed for upwards of three years, with a focus on future developments like the Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport project.
