- Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #763
Date of adventure: 11/28/23
While exploring abandoned places in the mountains outside Vegas, rather than camp in my car in freezing winter temperatures, I decided to get a cheap room at the closest hotel: Buffalo Bill's, in the weird border "town" of Primm. But...was it even open? Come with me as I investigate this strange property in the middle of nowhere.

Buffalo bills was my favorite place to stay with my husband and our three kids when we would go to Las Vegas years ago..... We used to ride the log ride and the roller coaster with our kids. We would drive up from San Diego and stay there for $29 a night for all five of us. I'm glad to see that they are remodeling and still open I hope someone takes over that can make it like it used to be ..
same here.
Ditto!
Wow as long as the bed was good and hot water was hot, I’d be glad. Especially if it meant staying in my car when it’s cold. No thanks. I’m too spoiled and old. lol
Many years ago the Corvette club we belonged to had a gathering at Buffalo Bills. Ever since that time we always stayed at Buffalo Bills when we visited Vegas. Great memories and great times.
Your descriptions crack me up!😂 I’m glad you had an enjoyable trip.
I have not been to Vegas since 1984 I believe it was the year the golden nugget opened . For me today it would probably be like being on mars . I do remember my first trip in1956 the family were on our way to yellow stone to go fishing . The thing that sticks in my mind, my dad and I used the bath room at some gas station ,and when you stepped into the stall and closed the door there was a slot machine on the inside of the door so while your doing your business you could gamble. My dad just started laughing he could not believe it. So those are my Vegas memories now at 81 it all seems kind of crazy looking back. Happy Trails
Never new about slots in stalls back then. That's when Vegas was safe & u didn't have to watch ur back @ all times, especially on the strip.
Now listen you could be ageles but I don't think you were in vegas in 1956 hell I'm 81 if you were you need to go into the ageless cream business. Happy trails
Did you know the supermarkets in Nevada have slot machines in them? Yeah, I went in one to get a gallon of milk. Cost me $238.
@@LuckyBaldwin777 LOL
Gas stations too@@LuckyBaldwin777
My first time at Buffalo Bills was in 1995. I was 22 yrs old and it was mesmerizing
Buffalo Bills used to be pretty nice and fun. The rollercoaster, log ride, and train ride were fun. Outside tour rooms window is the remnants of the old monorail that crossed the freeway to Pete’s.
It was a great place to stop on the way to Vegas if you had to go or if the Holiday traffic was really heavy on the way back (and you had to go}.
The Covid shutdown killed Primm and drove Las Vegas costs sky high.
There is a family fun center here in town that went in for a massive expansion in 2019. They opened the expansion in late 2019, then 2 months later everything was shut down.
I figured for sure the place was going to fold.
What I didn't know was, the business owned the property outright. And they paid cash for their expansion, so they were able to ride out the pandemic with no loans accumulating interest. When the lock down was lifted more than a year later, they stayed closed a couple of more months then opened once they were fully staffed.
They are doing fine.
What’s the name ❓❓❓
That roller coaster was awesome. One night there was no one in line so the operator sent us through the station about 4 times in a row until we cried mercy. haha good times.
I had the exact same experience! Started getting motion sickness and had to stop after the fourth time!
Wonderhussy really does a great job of narrating her videos with a wonderful sense of humor 😂. I love to see Sarah in her natural look versus her masked up on-camera look! Sure, she looks a little older, but with that look comes the feeling of a wiser and stronger woman.😊
😆Easy tiger
@@phillipgraves4721 lol ikr
Not bad for somebody at 51 yo
The roller coaster was named "Desperado". It was a great ride out in the desert. No loops but very fast and a lot of air time. You could see the entire world from the top of the first hill. A friend and I drove over one morning from SoCal just to ride it. Rode it four times, had breakfast and headed home. Unfortunately the coaster was closed a lot of the time because of the winds.
Sadly i never got to ride it
When that place was in full swing, some people used to go there just for the roller coaster.
It was touted as the first roller coaster in the world to break the 100MPH barrier.
I loved that coaster!
I rode it around 2003 when I was around 22 or so. It was REALLY rough and banged my head around pretty good. 20 years later I would probably die.
I LOVED riding Desperado. First drop is about 220' at a 70-dgree angle. They had to slow the rid down on one curve. It would run from Noon until about 10P. Then only Th-Sun. Now............not sure if still operational. Far better than the ride at NYNY.
I rode The Desperado back in '94. Best ride ever!!!
Early 2000's my husband and I use to get rooms for $18. It was a fun place to stay.
I performed at Buffalo Bill's back in 03, with 'Little Elmo and the Cosmos'. Great memories!! That Bonnie and Clyde death car used to be across the street at Whisky Petes. I did a gig there as well, back in 93, with a country band, 'Cochise'
As a professional musician, I've played thousand's of gigs, in hundreds of casinos all across Nevada, as well as around the world, on cruise ships. My music career started way back in 1974. What a crazy way to make a living!
I got in on the tail end of the good 'ol days. You younger musicians don't know what you missed!...Ahhhhhh...The fun I had! and I've loved every minute of it...
Great post Sarah!!
I love that place! The coaster is an absolute blast. Hope they resurrect the place. I wish them well!
It's like goliath at magic mountain.
Whenever I need something to put a smile on my face, there’s Wonderhussy!
Back a bit in time Primm was the designated pit stop for my wife to go potty (a 30 minute process). The drill was (a) pull over at Buffalo Bills, (b) wife heads for Lu, I go pee, (c) find an inviting dollar slot, (d) put in $200, (e) wife resurfaces, my stake vanishes, onwards to Vegas! Always happened - nothing ever changed (and NEVER won a nickel),
My brother would always take a $100 bill and place it on black or red at the roulette table. Just one spin to get ready for Vegas. As i remember at least 60 or 70% of the time he won on that one spin and then quit.
You're a storyteller, super natural, and unique entertainment. Love your videos. You should do more reviews.
I LOVE that hotel and have stayed there many times. I was disappointed when I was in the area last year and it was closed. You asked WHY would people stay in Primm. I originally stayed in Primm to avoid resort fees that had become all the rage in Las Vegas (I know B. Bill's has them now, too). I found the hotel's interior and exterior motif interesting with a very "Casa Bonita" vibe (like the South Park episode). Also, the craps tables were $5 so you could have a great time without blowing too much money. I would drive from Los Angeles and not even go to Vegas, I would have all the fun I needed in Primm at Buffalo Bill's. It was cheap, fun, interesting, and Vegas is only a short drive away. If I were still living in LA I would literally drive there this weekend now that I know they're open again.
Years ago when the coaster was up and running, my husband worked out at Primm for several months. The casino across the street gave workers discounts on weekly stays,so it was cheaper than commuting from Pahrump. Me and the kids spent a friday night/ Saturday bc there was a great outlet mall there too,AND the 2 casinos were connected by a tram maybe...or an enclosed walkway over I-15...can't remember, but I do remember that the Bonnie and Clyde car was on floor level with just ropes around it,so u could get close emough to look inside...pretty cool.
You could have stopped by and picked up a lottery ticket. Primm is kind of an emergency stop. When the 15 flooded and people couldn't drive through, folks had to stay somewhere, Buffalo Bill and Whiskey Peter's were the only places available. Also when there was a fire out in the desert, several FD battalions were camped out in the rooms. Both instances meant sold out rooms 😮😅
Pro tip- i travel weekly for work and I stay in a lot of places. I always have a container of Clorox wet wipes. The desk, tables, tv remote and door knobs hardly never get cleaned. Doesn't matter how much you pay.
Buffalo Bill's much better than freezing off the wonderful Wonderhussy tookus. That roller-coaster running just outside one's room might be irritating at times. Good thorough facilities review. Maybe visit again more in season. Stay well Sarah. ❤
Totally loving these Friday videos
For some reason, I like to stay in old roadside motels. When I worked on those two brand new Cal Trans rest areas near Yermo in the summer of 1981, I stayed at the Calico Motel. It reminded me of the Bates Motel in Psycho. The restaurant next to it was where I had dinner every night for two weeks. Good over-spiced meatloaf and mashed potatoes. That place is now Peggy Sue's diner. Back then it was just a coffee shop and a nine room motel and I liked it. During the week I had the place all to myself.
Just pulling in there for a bite 2 months ago, the ONLY eating place open inside was a Denny's. Most of the menu was what you find at all of them BUT when I asked for an alternative to French Fries with my sandwich, the Fruit Bowl I got was astoundingly delicious with variety exceeding the quality of the sandwich. You are quite correct. All the theme restaurants seem to only be open on weekends.
Back in the 90s Buffalo Bills was awesome! I took a few concerts at the Star of the Desert Arena. It was a decent venue and decent acts back then. The roller coaster was awesome and so was the water ride me and my friends used to drive from Vegas to Buffalo Bills to ride the roller coaster and log ride that was pre New York-New York and all the roller coasters in the casinos. It really used to be a nice place hopefully it gets back to that
Oh, the best roller-coaster! That place was original, and a Buffalo shaped pool.
Wonder Hussy Where You Gonna Go Now🎵🎶🎼
$15 for Asada Fries? In the middle of no where? Crazy.
Actually that's just how much stuff costs.
Taco salad at Roberto's in Vegas is $16 & that's even when I ask for no meat!! Just beans + rice
Where else ya gonna go?
I remember the days where we never had the option of a weekly Wonderhussy adventure on CZcams-I’m grateful for any old video. Just don’t get to far in and have a broken down four runner-we would have to break out the rescue helicopter!
Back in the 90s it wuz a great spot. Reasonable everything. And unlimited rollercoastet rides
When searchong for berd bugs tale a damp TP and run it under the attached headboard. Usally you can pick up bugs that would hid there. Also look at the welts on the mattress for the black dots or bed bug skins. Alway try to put your luggage on the sink in the bathroom or the tub. Bed Bugs can crawl up wood but not fake marble. Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite. Love your videos.
For years I was an onsite computer warranty tech in Las Vegas and often had to take road trips, which I was always paid extra for and really enjoyed. I've been to quite a few of the places Wonderhussy features in her videos. A couple of the stores I supported were located in the mall at Primm. I also drove part time for a few years for Uber and Lyft, and would occasionally get a rider going out there, then I would just wait until someone in Primm wanted to go back to Vegas. Buffalo Bills wasn't quite as abandoned as it was on this video when I was last there, but still pretty empty with the same vibe. I have a picture somewhere I took of that fortune teller machine. I love these videos! She puts a lot of hard work into these and it shows. Yet, she seems to always have fun while shooting them. I keep hoping I'll bump into her out in the wild sometime. I'm a huge fan.
I remember when it was built, was a huge upgrade from Whiskey Pete’s. Was on the knock off Splash mountain. That Bonnie and Clyde car used to be at Whiskey Petes
Wow brings back memories, i saw the bonnie & clyde car in virginia city, nv back in the early 80's. Thats when i was young sigh! U should go check out virginia city sumtime, you'll definitely feel like ur back in the late 1800's
Car gets around
@@TheBlackDog73😆 it sure does cause I saw it at the Imperial Palace car museum in the early 90's so I wonder where it went from there (?)
It's a very cool thing to see 💓
That car used to be at Whiskey Pete's across I-15 but still in Primm. I used to stay in Primm because the rooms were cheap and it allowed me to explore around Mojave National Preserve and other places in the desert but have some civilization like a shower and a room with lighting. In winter when it is getting dark at 5PM camping is less desirable. I don't really like Las Vegas, so it was a quieter place to get those things.
It is sad to see Primm in decline, but between Vegas and the California casinos the market is oversaturated. It is a lot closer to get from L.A. to Morongo or San Manuel. Nobody needs Primm as much, and Jean even less. The only thing still open in Jean (11 miles up the road farther into Nevada) is the giant gas station...
It would be OK to stay there for a night.
Easy in, easy out for I-15.
Great video Sarah!
I stayed in Primm a month working at a gold mine nearby..
WoW, seriously?
I tried to get a job with a mining company & the interview was in mountains around there.
I would have been re-seeding land, the land that was mined & then needed to be replenished.
They said if I got the job I would have to get to Primm, then a bus would pick up the employees from there, transport them to the area behind those mountains then back at the end of the day & we needed to be aware of how much travel time was expected everyday for the job.
Your post reminded me
I just missed you, you were leaving and I drove in😎🤣🤩
I remember this place at its best days! Riding the roller coaster was awesome! That Bonnie and Clyde exhibit looks interesting though!
I would have never touched that t-shirt. I Love you!
Pretty cool Sara! I love how you always allow us to experience every little thing from the food, to the room, the surroundings. Very much enjoyed seeing Buffalo Bills and Prim NV! Thank u!
There used to be a great outlet mall in that area. It was a fun place at one time! Oh the days past!
I stayed at Whiskey Pete's about 15 years ago - very cheap and very nice - and in the morning I thought I'd walk around the mall across the street and see what's there because I like bargains. It took me less than 10 minutes! Nothing interesting.
The mall is as empty as Buffalo Bills .
They need the rides and a complete refurbishment of the building. Make it no smoking and advertise that. Busy would happen again .
I stayed there once in the 90’s as a teen with my family. We stayed there before we went to Vegas. I remember this trip vividly because even though I was too young to gamble I was just old enough for my parents to let us teens roam around freely on the property which gave me a feeling of independence. Me and my cousin and my brothers rode that roller coaster as well. It’s very surreal seeing that place now and the defunct amusement park. For someone like me it’s kind of eerie seeing that place empty. I can almost see the ghosts of the kids from the past enjoying that rollercoaster while the adults drink and gamble in the casino. Thanks for the upload! Brought back some memories.
Excellent Vlog. Love your vlogs and I play the Game Fallout it’s an open world game. One of the games is Fallout New Vegas and the Buffalo Bills hotel with roller coaster is in the game. Keep up the great work you do 👍👍👍
Love your videos so much, Sarah! Always well produced and narrated. Always fascinating and interesting! Always funny and cooky! Primm, or as it was known years ago, State Line has intrigued me for many years, since I drove by in 1995 and decided it was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen! I was there only a few months ago in September, but didn't stay in the hotel, hoping against hope that Desperado was going to be open as had been been reported. I walked through the carpark and casino, filming for a video, mainly featuring Desperado the rollercoaster. As always, your video was interesting, informative, funny and fascinating, you got it down to a fine art! 😊😊
You have a knack for finding the most interesting places to go or stay in. Love your videos and content. Merry Christmas to you and all your friends and family.
Yikes, I got strong "Shining" vibes from that place, but your narration is thoroughly entertaining throughout, Helluva lot more interesting than anything you'd see on the travel channel! I guess one of the nice things about semi-abandoned casinos, besides the weirdness, is that you can take pictures and shoot videos without being hassled by the man!
Watching the series of Ray Donovan. This place is in season 4. I also stayed at this place back in spring of 2016.
Love watching your adventures. Places you go are awesome. Keep finding cool places to explore!
Room 524A at Buffalo Bills -- the Wonderhussy mini-suite. Now sold out until 2028--all your fans want that part of the WH experience!
UPS tractor trailer driver for 41 years. For several years my run was from L.A. to Primm every night. I would meet the guys coming down from Beaver UT and our meet point was the back parking lot of Buffalo Bills at around 7am. This was around 2007-10 and even then it was pretty deserted. The only time it got busy was when they would have a big off road meet.
Buffalo bills is awesome, just wish everything was open. I was there in March to check out the bonnie and clyde car. It was cool to actully get a room tour. Thanks for sharing.
I smiled the moment I saw the outside entrance and thought about The 909 Trip to see The Last Ride Of Bonnie & Clyde! MOO Jeff and 909 Family!
@TheStuport that was a great trip I almost can't wait to go back.
@@909Adventures Save me a seat Brudda! Cheers👋
Looks like a ghost town kinda sad. I remember when it was the spot to stay before Vegas and ride the roller coaster. Thanks again for another cool video.
I remember staying here in 2011, what people always call “Stateline”. I was 21 on low budget going into Vegas and wow, was this place a dump. Burnt melted iron stain on the carpet, blood looking stain on the comforters, and a lady in a mumu getting oxygen from paramedics in the hallway across from my room when I checked in.
It looks a lot better than the Rio! Props to the staff for keeping everything working and clean.
Welcome to winter in the desert....brrrrr I'm freezing in the Mohave.❤ 70.00 bucks? Man. Those look like 20 dollars rooms. You got robbed. Lol. T shirt under the chair means they didn't vaccume!
Loving Wonderhussy's take on the world!
That Primm, NV video with Buffalo Bills is the very first one I watched of "Wonderhussy Adventures."
Hey, at least you got towels. Few weeks ago I had only one wash cloth in my room at Buffalo Bills and they never did bring towels up haha.
several years ago we took our 2 youngest (teenage) kids out that way. We were driving from LA to Vegas and I had heard of the ghost town there. It was at that exit but on the other side of the highway. We got off there and drove toward the ghost town. Well, it was the ghost town of Primm and my son starts freaking out because this place is the place one of his favorite games was based on. The restaurant/biker bar was about the only thing in town. We stopped for lunch and they even had a soda bottle from the game.
these low budget establishments used t get a lot f CANADIAN bus tours...comming for 3 days in the hotels and 2 days travel time
Maybe it was Goodsprings? The Pioneer Saloon is a pretty happening place out there. It's past Primm at the Jean exit on your way into Vegas.
yes, I think you are correct. That trip was a long time ago so I don't remember all the details. Thanks! @@vickybrogan6959
Fallout New Vegas has Primm and Goodsprings, actually you start the game in good springs.@@vickybrogan6959
I stayed there once years ago. Before all the Covid thing, a nice place. Could not get a room in Vegas that weekend lots of events in town. Like you said its ok thank you ALL stay safe
What I love about your videos, Sarah, is how upbeat and beautiful you are even in the most dingy of surroundings. You are a pearl in the dessert and bring joy to your watchers. Keep up the good work, queen of the dessert.
I stayed at Buffalo Bills back in the 90’s with my parents; it was one of if not our first trip to Vegas (excepting for when my parents went on their honeymoon back in the 50’s). As I recall, at the time…and it was a short time…the Desperado roller coaster was the tallest coaster in the world (at least according to the Guinness Book). I don’t recall much about the hotel rooms themselves, but I certainly enjoyed the rides.
Wow. So deserted. My last trip to Vegas, I drove down to Primm, then headed to Nipton, Searchlight and back to Vegas to get my desert scenery fix since I've never been down that way. Never bothered to go inside the casinos at Primm, so nice to see what I missed.
OMG - Buffalo Bill's has a Zoltar Speaks in the lobby, awesome.
Sarah your so entertaining.. always look forward to next adventure.. Thx!!!
An enjoyable video as usual Wonderhussy! Thanks for the overnighter.
YOUR MY GIRL !!! ❤
You should have called me! We could have stayed together, if you know what I mean....😜
So much bed, so little time...🤪
Drew Garabo ❤ used to call me "Buffalo Bill"...
A cool dude, that Drew Garabo.........❤.........
Back in the daze in Orlando on Real Radio, we used to respectively call Drew, Big Papa. Those were the daze my friends. We all wished they did not end. Oh yes, those were the daze!
Drew can still be streamed. 😁 He's out of Tampa now.
Luv her screen name and sense of humor
You can never get old Wonderhussy, you're a "Classy Chassy"! Sad to hear about the casino remember making pit stops there with my family before getting to Las Vegas
$71 x 30 days is only $2130 a month. That's cheaper than most apartments in Vegas these days 🤣
You can get 2 bedroom luxury there
I hear that some people like to pack a UV flashlight to check for protein based stains on the sheets in some of the low end motels and hotels. Sarah might want to add one to her Christmas shopping list. And I'm not sure about being given a room adjacent to a roller coaster. I know it isn't operational right now, but it probably will be again. I think Woody Allen did a movie a long time ago wherein he grew up in a house under a roller coaster. Not exactly the same thing I know, but it drove him mad. To me it would just be intolerably annoying, but since it isn't working it's just creepy. Then again you just said you like creepy places.
My dearly departed grandmother once said..."It doesn't matter what a girl looks like, because a little paint does wonders!" Mike in Oregon
😂😂😁
That place use to be hopping with entertainment, restaurants and fun to hang out. Now it just seems so depressing 😢. Thanks for sharing this experience with us
I visited there in its heyday . . . the log flume ride & roller coaster in full operation. Ditto, the monorail connecting across I-15 to that other resort/casino there (maybe is no longer(?)).
And (if I recall correctly) staged Old West shows / gunfights.
About 50/50 young parents with children and seniors or near seniors. It was absolutely BUZZING.
It's amazing to see it now in this state (although someone else showed the Rio recently not looking so different -- like a "ghost" casino -- and also 1M miles from when it used to have "Carnival" shows every 90 minutes or so that were really top notch.
As you say, with no gamers, how the heck does it make $$$$ sense? And not a single (even fast food) place to eat! That was a shocker.
But I love your part of the US, always have. Originally coming from a small island (England, UK) the expansiveness of the American Southwest caught my imagination when I first saw it in 1983, and never really let go since.
Thanks for your videos! --Mike
Always great to revisit this roadside relic. I remember all those times in the early 00s when myself and my high school friend would drive around the dirt roads of the greater Mojave going out from Victorville with our cheap mountain bikes shoved into the hatchback. After hours of hunting down trails and falling in the dirt, the buffet at Buffalo Bills would always hit the spot before turning around and heading back to the 'Ville for our respective security shifts at the various warehouses and construction projects.
Pretty cool Sarah, love it. 😊👍
Growing up in the 90s we lived 2 hours away from Primm. We stayed there all the time and from what I remember used to be so busy! Their arcade was huge always packed. The rollercoaster and log ride was so much fun! It's so sad to see how deserted it looks now considered back in the early 90s it was busy!
That's not sunset, it gets black here at 4:17pm in Bellevue, WA! I hate North Winter.
Weird, I could’ve sworn that Bonnie and Clyde car was at Whiskey Pete’s before. Wonder if they moved it?
Yes it has been moved and has been at each of the 3 casinos over the years.
thanks for the great video,its always good to see you
Glad to see it at least half-way open again. There was a small choo-choo ride and as I recall,.. it traveled through the main gaming room on tracks high up then went out and around the facility. I may have confused it with another casino that did the same near bullhead. Others may remember. The ceiling was a couple stories high. It seemed really huge inside. Also a rafting dark ride kind of thing that traveled through tunnels along a slow canal with animated animals and such which was separate from the water slide, (as I recall),. Loved the old prospector/miner theme, ( one of my favorites),. And that neon sign out front was epic! We often stopped there and never made it to vegas. Skipped the crowds and it had everything already.
I remember when Primm was called Stateline and they originally built Buffalo Bills. I rode the coaster a couple times. It was fun but It beat the crap outta ya. lol The log ride was fun, too. If I recall correctly, the coaster went through the casino. I can’t remember if the water slide did though. It’s been about 25 years.
I thought she was gonna stay at a really abandoned hotel. Although, I think it was in Jean, NV. I saw that in some other video.
Log ride totally neandered through part of the casino!!
I regret that I never rode it since it used to have the indoor portion (I didn't even know there was an outdoor portion until this video). @@RagdollsOfLasVegas
@Art7220 Gold Strike hotel/casino never reopened after covid and is currently being demolished as of early December 2023
Liminal Spaces in that casino
Primm! I Remembers back in the late 90’s that outlet mall was hopping with people and many stores.
I just saw Collective Soul in the Star of the Desert Arena couple months ago. The only thing hopping was the arena lol....
You GOTTA BE SHITTING ME!!! Buffalo Bill's is charging "resort fees"??? WHERE'S THE F'ING "RESORT"????
Even ultra-expensive fancy pants hotels can have bedbugs.
It’s fascinating to see it still so lit up but an absolute ghost town. From LA, my family used to come here all the time when I was a kid because my dad and grandparents loved gambling and this was a great place for kids. The log ride was a blast with an interactive shooting game throughout the ride as well as animatronics and a good little drop. There were also rides inside the building and the arcade was fun too. The restaurant had a “river-side” theme to it. In its prime, it was awesome for families.
Lying here in a hotel bed at a hockey tournament in Kanata Ontario, I think I am safe from bedbugs-we have a foot of snow! What Sarah can make an interesting video of is really the question. Onward and upward to 1 million subscribers girl!
You're never safe from bedbugs.
Take a rolled up sheet of plastic with you and uncover the made up bed and put the plastic over the mattress
so you may be slightly more safe from those damn critters. And keep your bags with clothing up off the floor
like on a table. Never brought any of those bugs home with me so it must work.
I'm in Ottawa
I stayed there once when it was busy about 15 years ago so I was walking across the parking lot and witnessed a UFO flying over head 🛸🛸👽
When I hear the name of the casino, I think Buffalo Bob lol. You always find the oddities in your area. Keep wandering, miss pixie. Another good vlog, as always. Peace
Thanks for the video Sarah....enjoyed it lol...😊😊😊
Used to have a lot of good times at Bills and Pete’s.
Did a ton of overnighters there
Seems to me they started drawing a little different crowd which is what ran us off.
Wife spent tons of time in the mall which was really nice but unfortunately the days of malls are ending with online shopping
And the golf courses are freaking badass.
I would really like to see primm return to glory
Compound???????🍾🥂🍻

Hey
It's funny, but anyone that is a fan of the Fallout gaming franchise is familiar with Buffalo Bill's in the Fallout Vegas edition, right down to the roller coaster. Sadly, it's condition & demise today is prophetic in the game. The poor economic circumstances of the last 3 years under Bidenomics is a future history lesson of his failures & corruption.
WOW. I see somebody was able to escape from the TRUMPTARD funny farm.
These blogs don't need politics. Have you seen the infrastructure projects starting up all over including high speed rail, solar and rare earth metal mining.

Another great WH video. Safe travels.
Stumbled on this video. It was delightful! I’m going to watch some more 😊.
I LOVE Buffalo Bills. My sons were young, at that time they had the TALLEST roller coaster. It was so much fun. The best part was the extra large tree. the meeting place. We would allow freedom but meet at a certain time. The tree was the perfect spot. WONDERFUL casino. It was winter, so no BUFFALO POOL for us. we missed out.
