Whiskey Pete’s Hotel and Casino in Primm, Nevada, located between Las Vegas and California, has shut its doors after operating for nearly 50 years.
Whiskey Pete’s Hotel and Casino closure is only temporary, according to parent company Affinity Interactive
Affinity Interactive, Whiskey Pete’s parent company, said the closure is temporary. However, it’s unclear if the roadside landmark, located 25 minutes south of Vegas on the 15 Freeway, will reopen.
The property underwent a $3.5 million renovation in 2016. Visitors to Whiskey Pete’s website are redirected to sister property Buffalo Bill’s when looking for hotel accommodations.
Affinity Interactive, which also owns Primm Valley Resort and Buffalo Bill’s, said the company temporarily closed the Whiskey Pete’s Hotel and Casino “in order to feature new and ongoing investments” at its other two resorts.
Scott Butera, CEO of Affinity Interactive, said the “realigning of Primm Valley Resorts” is part of their effort to develop “amenities that will better fit our new and current customers.”
