Buffalo Bill's Resort & Casino in Primm, Nevada, is set to close its day-to-day operations, with Affinity Gaming confirming the shutdown and plans to shift operations to Primm Valley Resort. The closure marks the third casino shutdown in South Los Angeles since 2020, following the earlier closure of Whiskey Pete's in February. Buffalo Bill's, known for its 1,242 rooms, the Desperado roller coaster, the Bonnie and Clyde “death car,” and the Star of the Desert Arena, will shutter most days for an unspecified period. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Cole's French Dip, the oldest restaurant in the city and credited with inventing the French dip sandwich, will permanently close after 117 years in business. The closure has drawn attention from other local dining establishments, including a pioneering L.A.-style soul food bistro on Pico that is also closing after 12 years, and a historic diner that shut down after 76 years. These developments reflect ongoing challenges for longstanding hospitality and entertainment venues in the region.
