Gary Primm Net Worth $1 billion
Gary grew up very familiar with the casino business, as his father Ernest Jay Primm had laid the basis during his career. In the mid-1970s, the Primadonna Casino was developed in Primm, Nevada, a place named after his father, owned by Affinity Gaming. The hotel offers around 624 rooms and suites, and occupies 37,779 square feet of gaming space. It has 26 game tables, and 773 slot machines. The hotel collaborates with Primm’s other establishments such as Whiskey Pete’s and Buffalo Bill’s, having transportation to each. Primm took over the family business in 1981 after his father passed away; his net worth increased significantly at this point.
Primm would continue to develop more casinos for the company, and would collectively call its group of hotel-casinos as Primm Valley Resorts; they are among the most popular locations in between Las Vegas and California. The hotels are now connected by monorail and used to be connected with an amusement train line. The other two hotels are Whiskey Pete’s which has newly renovated rooms and suites numbering to 777. They also have a gift shop, restaurants, and a large swimming pool. Their casino occupies 34, 800 square feet. Buffalo Bill’s is the largest of the three with 1,242 guest rooms and suites. It is home to the Desperado roller coaster which is one of the tallest and fastest roller coasters in the world. They also have a swimming pool in the shape of a buffalo. The hotel-casino is so large that they have two hotel room towers, covering a total of 61, 372 square feet. The casino has over 1700 slot machines and the hotel is also the location of the Star of the Desert Arena, designed for concerts and with 6, 500 seats. The success of these three hotel-casinos has propelled Gary’s net worth further.
Gary also collaborated with Kirk Kerkorian to develop the New York-New York Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, located on the Las Vegas Strip, and owned by MGM Resorts International.
For his personal life, it is known that Gary Primm was married to Carol but their marriage ended in divorce. He apparently remains single. He had a tax dispute over his 145-foot yacht called “Prima Donna”, which was eventually settled.
