About Primm
In the 1920s, the area only had a gas station which was owned by Pete MacIntyre. The story goes that he was having trouble selling gas so he resorted to bootlegging. He died in 1933 and was initially buried in an unmarked grave close by, though unintended exhumation caused his body to be moved into a cave. The man is now often known locally as "Whisky Pete", with the town's first casino named eponymously after him. Between the early 1950s to the early 1970s, Dale Hamilton owned the town known asState Lineat the time with an ambition to place a few slot machines in his gas station to entice travelers, a tradition that continues to this day.
