Primm (often called Primm Valley, after one of the casinos) is a tiny community of Clark County, Nevada, primarily notable for its position straddling Interstate 15 where it crosses the border between California and Nevada.
Three casinos in Primm hope to attract gamblers from Southern California wanting to stop before reaching Las Vegas 40 miles to the north; Buffalo Bill's [1] (http://www.primadonna.com/pages/buffalo_bills/bb_home.asp), Primm Valley Resort [2] (http://www.primadonna.com/pages/primm_valley/pv_home.asp), and Whiskey Pete's [3] (http://www.primadonna.com/pages/whiskey_petes/wp_home.asp). Primm also has a shopping mall mostly consisting of discount outlets.
A convenience store on the California side of the border is the closest access for southern Nevadans wishing to play the California Lottery, and is said to be the highest-selling location in the entire state.
Primm was the end location for the 2004 DARPA Grand Challenge.
