Primm business owners, travelers react to closures of casinos, gas stations – CDC Gaming

Multiple casino-resorts in Primm, along with two gas stations and the Lotto Store, are set to permanently close, according to the company.

For a town once built on constant traffic, bright lights and a steady stream of visitors heading in from California, the announcement feels like the end of an era.

Rihanna Rodarte is one of the owners of a taco restaurant called Alex’s Mexican Grill in Primm. She’s been here for nine years and says the latest news of more closures is devastating.

“The business is getting down every year, every time, more and more and more,” Rodarte said.
