Buffalo Bill is a part of my childhood and it breaks me seeing what that arcade is now compared to how massive it was.

If they get the food and attractions up and running and keep things cheap, they might have a chance. The coaster was the best part. 👍

As a 90’s kid Those motion simulator rides and arcade were awesome to experience. Wish I had more recordings of those experiences at their height. The development during the “Family Friendly” Vegas era was something else.

I stopped here on Christmas Day to donate and help support their comeback. Ended up winning $60 instead. Used some of it to eat at the only food place that was open, the Wagon Wheel Grill. I wonder if they are planning to open the buffet. I will definitely return if they open the rides or the buffet! Also want to add that Primm is an ideal location for visiting Mojave National Preserve and you want traditional lodging without having to drive all the way back to Las Vegas.

I was born and raised in Salt Lake City UT, and in 1995, my dad bought a condo in Oceanside, CA with the intent of it being a vacation rental and eventual retirement home. Every year in July from 1996 to 2003, my family would drive from Salt Lake to Oceanside on I15, and we would bring my cousin who was also my best friend, along with my 2 older brothers. We stayed at Primm every year on the way there. I have the most fond memories of the log flume with its shooting gallery, the awesome arcade, the turbo drop, and obviously the Desperado roller coaster. I'm 37 now and hope that one day Buffalo Bills will be restored to its former glory so others can experience what I remember. Thanks for the nostalgia.

Thank you for sharing this, my father had Parkinson's, Buffalo Bill's was the only casino that I would take him to he would say "the crab tables are close to the first floor rooms which made it so easy for him to walk there with his walker. He would pay crabs for hours he would win more than lose. They would call him and say you haven't been here in a couple of weeks if you come will pay for your gas to and from, all your meals, and comp you 2 to 3 rooms for the weekend. I have wonderful memories, I miss him SOOO much great times at Buffalo Bills.

I grew up traveling with my family in the late 90s early 2000s from So Cal to Vegas. The outlet mall and Buffalo Bills were always a favorite stop. Glad to see Buffalo Bills back open.

My girlfriend and I didnt get off work till 5pm Friday evening, so we would leave Pasadena CA around 8pm and stay Friday night at BB instead paying the higher prices at MGM for just a few hours. So BB became our overnight stay from 11:30pm Friday, than leaving for Vegas around 11am Saturday morning with only 40 minutes of drive time to Vegas. The best part was BB coffee shop before Denny's took it over. They had what was called The Truckers Special for Breakfast, for only $4,99 you got an actual bone-in ham steak that was so huge it needed it's own plate and it still hung over the side of the plate. Then you got 3 pancakes or 3 french toast, 3 eggs, hash browns, 3 sausages or 3 bacon, toast and coffee/juice or soda. It was the ultimate Ham & Egg breakfast all for a few bucks. This was every weekend from Spring Break (for us was in early April) to Labor Day, from 1996 to 1999. Those were carefree days compared to now...

My family and I used to do yearly Vegas trips and this is where we'd stay. So many memories of the log ride, the arcades, and the old native paintings on the walls near the rooms. Sad to see the decline of my childhood hotel, but glad to see that it survived after being closed for nearly three years.

I have stayed at Buffalo Bills in the past. My Mom and I used to get comped for concert tickets and free hotel stay. It was a very comfortable place to stay, and when all the restaurants were open, it offered many choices of what to eat. I hope it comes back strong.

We use to love staying at Buffalo Bills, was our go to Casino for the weekend back when the Mall was booming. Bus loads of people came in on the weekend all restaurants were open monorail made it easier to get around. They need to bring back all the stores in the mall and people will come, shopping and having fun, those were good times.

I recently visited Monday, January 2, coming back from VEGAS. I was very happy to see it open and have been asking staff at Primm if they were new when it was going to open throughout my Vegas trips. My favorite game I played on was the Blazing 7s. I actually won $300 and was very happy and plan to be back soon.

Such a great nostalgic and loving video on this property! Thank you! Travel youtubers tend to bag on this place, but I'll never forget it! It was really a great oasis themed so beautifully. You really can just spend the whole day there.

Stayed there for sugar land concert that was cancelled rode coaster twice.. What a ride

First time I rode desperado was in about 1997-98. I used to go to Vegas a lot more in the 90s, every couple months. Id often drove by Buffalo Bills, never going in. Due to a sibling I used to be a roller coaster aficionado. Driving by and seeing Desperado I wrote it off as B-movie ride(no loops, from I-15 didnt seem high and tame). I finally on the spur of the moment got a friend of mine I worked with in show biz in LA to hit up Vegas one afternoon over beer. The sun had long gone down by the time we reached Buffalo Bills. My buddy had/has gambling issues i didnt know of. As soon as we crossed into Nevada he hit the tables at Buffalo Bills. Id probably would have had never stopped there in a million years. After he satisfied a quick fix at the tables he told me we were going on Desperado(he bought my ticket). It was only a couple years later I learned of its stats. I thought why not go on this rinky-dink tourist trap ride. Then the fucker rollercoaster took us outside up the long slow torturous ride to the top of the first drop. I remember looking in the distance at I-15 at night, we kept going higher, now looking WAY-DOWN on I-15. Ive ridden a lot of rollercoasters and been afraid. This was another type of afraid haha. Riding up I remember wondering how-in-the-fuck driving by this countless times I didnt think this was high. Then the first drop in the dark into a goddamn tunnel WTF. Then the G-Force speed of that rollercoaster…. It was only a couple years later I saw a documentary on roller coasters with Desperado being featured as the tallest in the world, it being next-level. And again wondered how driving by it countless times I wrote it off as not high and rinky-dink. Only once I got other (show biz and a doctor) friends to ride it in around 1999 [After that time i made a vow after walking under the tacks outside unsuccessfully looking for them to never again buy expensive sunglasses. Two friends sitting behind me saw the over-priced sunglasses rise in a flash out of my front shirt pocket and over their heads to never be seen again] Since then i have never gotten anyone else to ride with me that motherfucker.

Use to live in SoCal. Loved stopping at Primm on the way to and from Vegas. Buffets were quality and reasonable when the Primm family ran things. All three properties were well maintained when they were run by the Primms. Miss those days. Glad to see BBgetting some love.

One of my core childhood memories was riding the log ride + the shooting aspect. Good times! Hopefully, they revive it soon - would love to relive those memories

Got married in Vegas in Feb 1995. Hit up Buffalo Bills on the way back to CA. Desperado ride was great, it a little rough, but still did it 3 times. Loved the theming throughout. Great to see it back.

Love that BB is back. I hope it keeps going. It was always a blast to stop there in the 90s

Loved this video - you showcased this so great! We really miss the old 90's themed hotels and casinos and the buffets in Vegas. I wouldn't mind giving Buffalo Bill's a try for a couple of nights in the near future. We are getting tired of the Strip - prices in both rooms/resort fees/parking/food have skyrocketed so much and Fremont St. has gone downhill so much over the years, we have no desire to visit anymore. We are now looking at the hotels/casinos where the locals visit, just to get away from the Strip.

At Buffalo Bills, I spent a wonderful Mother's day weekend about 10 years ago there with my mom. Went back in 2019 & could only stay 30 minutes, the smoke was so bad. Look forward to seeing the changes

I love it. It’s like Knott’s Berry Farm started a casino.

Last time I was at that Casino was back in 2010. We sayed for 3 nights because we got a deal on our room for $18 a night. That roller coaster and arcade was the spot back in the 90s. Good times

I would always stop by Buffalo bills on my way to vegas....I'm glad it's open again😎

I used to love staying there back in the early 90s. Then again from 2008-13 after a long drive from San Fran. The staff always friendly, the patrons keep to themselves yet courteous, the food good, and the place in general was clean. Good to know they are gonna make a run at it again. I know management is different, but I hope they see the potential of what it can be, especially as a family friendly destination the likes of Wolf Lodge. Thanks as always for giving us a great look at the property Miles.

Buffalo Bill's holds a special place in my heart. My mom rode a bus out there daily to work in the cage in the 90s. And of course, making stops to and from Cali to visit family. Saw STP too! Happy to see it open. I actually forgot about the log ride and it brought back a memory of riding it.

Me and the wife used to use the Primm properties as a great staycation type of getaway from our Vegas jobs. BB's was always our favorite. And they always had amazing rates for just showing a NV I.D. Really miss these properties. We also used to love to ride the tram through all of the properties. No matter where we stayed we loved to go the the Primm Valley property for the dinner buffet. O.K. food at a bargain price. Really loved the mall also. Wow. So many memories. Thanks for the video.

Love the video! I was a big Buffalo Bill's fan back in the 90s when it opened. To Vegas insiders it was considered a great alternative to staying close to the strip if you wanted a relaxing less expensive getaway. If Buffalo Bill's play their cards right, they could make a major comeback.

Very well done presentation. Very articulate and a great POV video with great resolution. Thank you for this.

Great video and for sure great childhood memories!! Very glad that it is back in action and ready for me to come reminisce. This video brought back so much.....Wow!! Thank you.

Hi, Miles to Memories Vegas..., Can't wait to see it "LIVE" with everything running ! ! * Excellent video and informative, and "Thank you" for sharing the video... " Semper Fi " Mike in Montana :)

I remember coming here when I was a child haha , my mom loved Vegas and this was one of the first stops we always made ! Been going there since I was 2 now I’m 23

So glad you got back to these type of videos. This first brought me to your channel and through these I’ve started collecting miles and points. Thank you again for these videos and I can’t wait to see the other ones you have coming out!

Oh cool. I used to love driving out there. Thanks for an awesome vid. Happy New Year. I wish you both all the best in 2023.

This is great to see! We need more of these options for travelers to and from Vegas. I hope the rides come back and I would love to see the train function again, and maybe a real live western-themed show with cowboys and sheriffs and bank robbers, etc. Even it's just on weekends, it would still be great for the area.

Thanks for sharing! Glad to know that it's open, again! So many fond memories. It truly is an oasis in the desert. Can't wait to get back.

I used to stay here at BB's or the Primadonna back in the day. Shopped at the outlet all the time bringing back stuff so as to not gamble all my money away. I won my biggest jackpot ever $3000 at BB's on a $1.25 bet I think. I had fun with the people from my bowling league who would meet and stay here and party. Those were the days, I still remember some of them ha ha.

Thank you for this video. It's great to see Buffalo Bill's open again! With LV hotels all moving away from theming, it's so refreshing to see one that is fully themed and proud of it. It is so beautiful to see in person. As beautiful as your video is, it really doesn't do it justice. As a Vegas native, Buffalo Bills is by far my favorite property (and affordable, unlike It's strip/downtown counterparts). Also, the Desperado rollercoaster is a blast! So fast, with drops that will leave you breathless. I LOVE rollercoasters and have ridden all of them going back 20 years, and the Desperado is by far the best! It's also a long ride and not over in a minute or two like so many others. Well worth a try. Anyway, thank you again for sharing this with us!

11:20 am MDT , been visiting there since the early 2000’s , also like the iconic Buffalo Head Sign facing I-15 both during the day and especially at night, hopefully some day it all comes back to its espectacular former glory

I use to work all 3 properties back 23 years ago and love it thank you for sharing this ❤️ 🙏

Thanks for your review!!! I really appreciate your entire review....honest without being rude or mean. Yeah, Primm Valley isn't Vegas but it's great in its own right. Excited to get back and support Buffalo Bill's in the coming months!! Happy New Year all!

Great video. It was always called "The Fun Stop" to Vegas. Their buffet was among best. Attended Star of the Desert concerts, stayed in the hotel numerous times, enjoyed visiting every time. Very popular destination with Tour Bus groups from So. Cal. either as a same day turnaround trip or hotel stay. Good to see optimism in the reopening of Buffalo Bills. There was a shuttle bus which traveled every 30 minutes to Buffalo Bills, Whiskey Pete & Primm Valley. Hopefully someday, all 3 casino/ resorts & the outlets will be functional again as it was before.

Just drove by it (twice). Didn't realize it was open. Great news.

I’m so excited to see Buffalo Bill open. Been coming here for decades. Planning my trip in February. Thank you for the video.!

Happy to see its back! Thanks for the update! New sub by the way!

Buffalo Bills is my favorite stop on the way from LA to Las Vegas. It’s a tradition to stop there for a pit stop and to get the first taste of Las Vegas before the final 40 minute stretch

We love Buffalo Bills, I hope that it fills with people and becomes the destination that it was. Desperado is my all time favourite coaster…it’s a shame about the mall as that too was something we always looked forward to. We will visit this place next time we are on holiday. Thank you for the video.

On our way home back to California from Vegas, we would always do a "one last chance" stop at Stateline and we'd either go to Primmadonna or Buffalo Bills. What a great place to grab a meal, shop, do a little gambling, play games and ride rides. Then we'd wait for traffic to die down, gas up the car and head home. It's nice to see that Buffalo Bills has returned! Looking forward to checking it out again! Excellent work and research on the video! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next one. Take care!

I'm so glad to see this update on Buffalo Bill's Primm Casino. I have fond memories of this this place and hope to visit the casino again. Thanks for Posting this video.😁

My wife and I always stop by when we go to vegas...Great place to rest...very happy they reopened...hopefully they'll rehab the Primm too

This was the first Casin I visited when travelling from LA to Vegas about 25 years ago. The roller coast was amazing and would still be one of my favourite coasters. Sad to see it in this state of disrepair. Hopefully one day it will back like it used to be as I’d like to take my kids on the coaster if I ever come back from Australia.

Honestly buffalo bills was a big part of my childhood. I remember everything from the magic shop they used to have to the log ride, the massive arcade, the 3d roller coasters to the crappy buffet at whiskey Pete’s and the gorgeous mall. It freaking sucks seeing it as dead as it is. If I had the money I’d buy it out right and bring it back to its former glory. But perhaps that’s just me trying to relive my childhood.

Hi - Really appreciated this video - thanks for sharing!

So excited about this casino reopening!! Great information and video!

Wow~ love this! I've lived in Las Vegas for a long time & have always enjoyed this casino~ it's part of my bi-monthly lottery drive. I also LOVE the roller coaster, which had the largest initial drop when it opened. Subscribed & looking forward to more of your vids!

I remember stopping here so many times. My family would drive from Fresno to Vegas at least twice a year and my mom would always stop for my brother and I. We would spend half a day here before our stop in Vegas. So many unforgettable memories at this place. Thanks for bringing us back. Can’t wait to visit again soon now that it’s open.

Thanks for sharing. We have great memories of visiting there!

Thankkkk you for this video been waiting for it to open i thought it was close forever but i will look in it this weekend when i go to vegas for new years

Great video, thank you! I would drive from San Diego to Las Vegas and if I was tired, I would ride the coaster to wake me up! What a thrill when you were going up and looking down on the hotel, and then the drop that would make your heart stop! Going into the cave made you think you were going to lose your head!

Great video. Hope to see this property and the rest of Primm adapt and thrive again

We are so happy buffalo is open again thanks for the video and good news

I was just there yesterday and you captured what I was thinking perfectly. So much potential and I hope they get those rides up and running soon. It made me so nostalgic walking around

As for For myself at OC coasters and theme parks this is my favorite all time rollercoaster. Also my favorite from Arrow Dynamics. The 1994 master piece of a hyper coaster the Desperado! Best hyper coaster on the west coast. Prim entertainment, Buffalo bills please reopen this masterpiece. You can advertise the best hyper coaster on the West Coast because this certainly beats out Goliath At Magic Mountain long and far and its not even close.

Can hear the joy and nostalgia in your voice. Thank you for this enjoyable vlog!

I worked all the stateline hotels while in College in the mid 90's. The golden years of Vegas and Primm. Sad to see what the years have left...

I’m actually excited to see it open again! It was a good casino and hotel .. it’s something I remember as a kid! 💪🏼

I used to go every month I can't wait to go again thank you for the video you just showed a great place to visit

I'd absolutely love to see Buffalo Bill's make a comeback. Great memories there. I'll definitely stop by there next time I'm heading to Vegas!

What a great video. So glad to see BB open again. If the pricing stays reasoable it should do okay. I hope it does. I love the old nostalgia feel too. When i lived in southern California and went to Vegas i use to stop there it sure had a lot going on in the heyday. Thanks again for sharing.

Great coverage brother and yes I love visiting primm and the properties along the way to Las Vegas brings back nostalgia for sure and really cool to see the Bonnie and Clyde car still on the casino floor and at it new location and I’m planning to book a room and stay real soon to see what the rooms are like 😂 Appreciate the video man and keep up the great work 👊

So many awesome memories of this place. This was a must-stop for my parents and I when I was a child. My dad use to call this place “The First Stop”. I remember I was always excited to ride the roller coaster and the log ride while my parents played slot machines. There weren’t too many things for kids on the Strip back in the 90s, so this was usually my highlight of the trips. My dad passed away today exactly one year ago, and I run into this video somehow. It brings back so many great memories with my dad….

Am SO happy to see this hotel re open!!! loved your video, this hotel doesn’t get the love it deserves! I sure miss the mall, it was so great in the late 90’s early 2000

Thanks for the great video ! I love that place. Glad to see it open again. Desperado is still one of the best coasters out there ! The first drop is unreal !

I love “ Buffalo Bills ! “ it just needs a corp , not MGM Please ! , too invest a ton of money into it , rebuild it too it’s former glory and the people will come , make it like the old Vegas used to be , Give great Comps , open up a prime Rib 9.99 Buffet , and make it a Retro Casino resort and I’m sure it will be a success, BUT you have too do it all not piece meal , get the rides going , the factory outlet full and I agree it will be like the Phoenixes and reborn , Great Vlog ! Loved it 😍

Hell yeah I love this update! Thanks for the great vid. They better bring those rides back to life 😤 and the monorail too! I loved them as a kid! I plan on visiting during my spring break for the Pancho Barraza concert hopefully more upgrades are done until then 🙏

Nice to see that overall tourism is improving to the point that places like Buffalo Bill’s can reopen. I only went there once way back in 1995. I didn’t visit Whiskey Pete’s in 2016 on my way through. Not sure if I’d ever stop overnight there but it was a fun way to spend a couple hours. Out of curiosity, any plans to do a similar piece about Mesquite, NV? It’s to the Nevada Arizona border, and not terribly far from Utah, what Primm is to NV/CA. It’s a good place to get a taste of what’s to come in Vegas or a nice reminder as you head back up I-15.

MY FAVORITE CASINO REOPENED! YES! CANT WAIT TO VISIT

So that's where the Bonnie and Clyde car ended up! I saw it several times in the early and mid 2000s at Whiskey Pete's. I like the look of Buffalo Bills, I'll stop next time!

Great to see it open again! Can't wait to go back ❤

Shout out Manny from Chicago I moved to Las Vegas in 20 0 5 I was a Union carpenter move down there to work building casinos I went to Buffalo Bills several times great place to have lunch

Place looks really good we used to go quite often we love to stay there and is a great place for the kids and us I'm sorry to see the mall is gone down but maybe they can bring it back really good video brings back a lot of memories thank you

I was there from the beginning. This video brings back great memories. Thank you.

🎉Yay🎉..I am so happy Buffalo bill is open!😘

I was so happy to see it reopened!!🎉👏🏼👏🏼🎉

i used to go here all the time, with my family, in the early 2000's / late 90's. i never got to see the place entirely operational, as the train ride that used to weave through the casino was running at one point (i think on one of my very first visits it may have still been running but it shut down soon after), but besides that i got to see every other attraction open. i rode the log ride and the motion simulator a couple hundred times. Finally my buddy helped me work up enough courage to go on the Desperado, that ride was really fun, but you could tell it wasn't Six Flags level, it had this really intense vibration to it, it was rough for sure! Still rode the Desperado 20x though hahaha. This place used to be poppin man, there were TONS of people all hours of the night, tons of resteraunts, you might even go to Whiskey Pete's for a couple minutes to see Bonnie and Clyde's Car lmao xD.

I'm in NJ, I just watched the video on the Primm mall. No, I've never been to either of these, but would love to go. Thanks for the tours, loved the videos!

My brother and I visited LV many times in the 1990's and 2000's. We always rented a xar and drove to what was the State Line. I loved it there and was sad about it's closing. I am glad that it is Finally going to see some love! Just Saying.

great vid....also stopped at Bill's on our way to Vegas, oh so many years ago...it was tradition...glad to see it opening again..will visit when it's in full swing..thank you for this tour, really enjoyed it..

Given the state's history, the old West will always be one of the most iconic themes. They do a great job with the theme. Used to stop off there on the way home in years past. Unfortunately, i think the place has a challenging road to success.

Loved it sure hope the rides open again

Thank you. Nice walkaround, great narration and we look forward to visit it!

Thanks so much for this detailed video. It really looks great. I wish them much success.

oh man, this makes my day! i've been going to Vegas from San Diego for ever, its nice that there's at least something to stop for again

The wife and I always stopped at Primm, on the way to Las Vegas, and on the return trip home. We went on all the original rides you mentioned, that are gone or not running at this time. Were talking about the flume ride, we actually got a pistol and shot at the targets, we went on the train that went across to the hotel and Buffalo Bills, even took a ride on the drop tower that is no longer there. I even took a ride on the desperado roller coaster in 2019 just before covid. We are so happy to see this wonderful place make a comeback, you can tell we love this place.

It’s nice to see this is back from the dead…but sad about Primm and the mall…I have so many great memories of both from our frequent trips in from San Diego in the late 90’s and early 2000’s…

Excellent photography and heartfelt narration. Happy to be a subscriber.

This has an "abandoned" video feel but so glad it's not! Such a cool theme/property. Glad its back!

Seems like it would be a good family weekend getaway if they can get all the attractions up and running. Certainly much nicer than dragging your kids to the strip or Fremont. I wish them well and hope there'll be a market to support it.

I live in Henderson Nevada but drive to California several times each year. Pre-covid I used to stop at Buffalo Bills once in a while on my way home from California. I'm glad to see it reopening and will visit soon. Thanks for the tour!
