Primm Valley Rebrands as Fee-Free Alternative to Las Vegas After Narrow Escape from Closure

Primm Valley Resort & Casino in Nevada has expanded its operations one month after reopening, positioning itself as an affordable alternative to Las Vegas by eliminating resort fees. The property narrowly avoided closure in July when the Primm family secured a last-minute deal with Las Vegas-based Terrible's to assume management. The resort is currently reopening amenities like the pool and steakhouse, matching rewards tiers for returning customers, and planning to reintroduce table games soon. Additionally, the nearby Buffalo Bill's casino may reopen, and the town is eyeing a new Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport within 1.5 miles as a long-term growth catalyst.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued Hilton over resort fees, claiming that the company "misleadingly charge consumers higher rates than initially advertised" and that "the services purportedly funded by the fees are often complimentary or included in the room rate at other non-resort locations." The lawsuit alleges that Hilton doesn't adequately display the added fee on a nightly rate and effectively charges guests extra fees twice. This comes amid increasing political pressure for travel companies to be more transparent with extra charges.
