Is Primm Nevada's Next Ghost Town?
Stateline-straddling Primm is on its last legs: Whiskey Pete's closed in December, Buffalo Bill's just closed last month, and the outlet mall has just one store left. But what was Primm like in its heyday, and why is everything closing there now? Co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler are joined by Hey Las Vegas editor Rob Kachelriess to discuss Primm's past and present, and if the proposed new airport and high-speed rail could change the town's fortunes.
