The story
Primm Valley Resort & Casino, just south of Las Vegas, has closed for good. Creator Walk With Me Tim documented an overnight stay there before the end, calling it "like stepping back in time to old-school Vegas." He noted the "eerie silence" and signs of decay—a closed pool, broken facilities—that made the property feel abandoned long before its final day.
For travelers drawn to vintage roadside Americana, this resort offered a rare glimpse into a fading era. Tim described the experience as "fascinating and sad at the same time," capturing the contrast between faded grandeur and palpable loss. Though shuttered now, Primm Valley remains a time capsule of old-school Nevada, a quiet outpost that required no reservations.

What creators say about the stay
Rooms
- The room is very old-school, with furniture that's old and chipped, but I love the retro vibe. The headboard goes all the way across, and there are little side lights—some work, some don't. The TV is new and works, but the air conditioning is incredibly loud even on low. The room hasn't been dusted in a while, and the ironing board has seen better days. But the shower is big, the towels are folded nicely, and overall it's still pretty clean for a hotel about to close.
Facilities
- The pool is closed for the season even though it's June—a huge disappointment because I was hoping for one last swim. The fitness center stinks of sweat and hasn't been used in a while, with tape on the floor and a dumbbell that's cracked. The escalators and lifts are mostly switched off, and there's an ice machine that's not working. The whole place feels abandoned, with rust on railings and smashed windows upstairs.
Location
- The resort is in the middle of the Nevada desert, right on the state line with California. It used to be a popular stop for people heading to or from Vegas, but now it's basically a ghost town. There's a lot of traffic on the freeway nearby, but the hotel itself feels completely isolated.
Service
- There was basically no service. I sat in the coffee shop for 15 minutes without a waitress coming over, then stood in line for another 15 minutes, and after 40 minutes total I gave up and left. The lady at the till was with a few people for a very long time. It's clear the staff are checked out, knowing the place is closing.
Breakfast
- I went to the coffee shop for breakfast, but it was a disaster. It took 40 minutes and I still didn't get any food—the wait was impossibly long and it didn't look like anything was happening. I ended up leaving hungry. The coffee shop was also not open later, so the only option was a McDonald's outside, but I didn't go there.
Value for money
- I didn't mention the exact price, but I went for the cheapest basic room with two queen beds. Considering the state of the place and that it's about to close forever, it felt fair—but you definitely get what you pay for.

I stayed overnight at the Primm Valley Resort & Casino, the last remaining hotel in the Primm ghost town, right before it closed forever. The whole experience felt like stepping back in time to old-school Vegas, but with all the signs of decay—closed pool, broken facilities, no service, and an eerie silence everywhere. It was fascinating and sad at the same time, and I'm glad I got to see it before it disappeared.
