Primm is located on the Nevada and California State border, 40 miles from Las Vegas. Interstate 15 runs right through this town with approx. 1,200 residents (mainly casino workers). It sits on Ivanpah Dry Lake and is named after the original developer of the town, Ernest Jay Primm. It was previously known by the name of State Line, but was renamed in 1996 to avoid confusion with Stateline in northern Nevada.

Primm Valley Casino Resorts has three different casino hotels, that formerly had a tram and shuttle connecting them. They are all owned by Affinity Gaming and they use the A-Play loyalty card. They also have the Primm Mall and it is the closest place to buy lottery tickets from Las Vegas (Nevada does not have the lottery, California does).
