Buffalo Bill's Casino Primm Nevada: Fixed Location and Documented Straight-Line Distances

Buffalo Bill's in Primm, Nevada is 40.7 miles from Las Vegas in straight-line distance, 36.6 miles from Henderson in straight-line distance, and 206.9 miles from LAX in straight-line distance. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The venue's fixed position

The fixed point in this query is the venue, not the traveller. Publicly published reference sources place Buffalo Bill's in Primm, Nevada, at coordinates 35.614945, -115.384504.

Those coordinates are the most stable way to understand where the property sits. Branding, ownership, and facility counts can change over time, but a coordinate pair gives you a fixed map point you can compare with your own starting location.

Documented facility snapshot

As a documented snapshot from publicly published reference sources, the property opened on May 14, 1994. The same source set attributes ownership to JETT Gaming.

The published facility figures in those references list 1,700 slot machines and 1,242 hotel rooms. Figures like these describe a documented point in time rather than a live operational status, because casino properties are rebuilt, reconfigured, sold, or rebranded over time.

All documented straight-line distance pairs

The table below lists every injected reference-point pairing available for this venue. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, not a road route.

Why straight-line and real travel differ

A straight-line figure is the shortest path between two coordinate points on the earth's surface. It is useful for orientation, but it is not the same thing as the path a person follows on roads.

Real routes become longer because road networks bend around terrain, water, private land, settlement patterns, and jurisdictional boundaries. Even when two places look close on a map, the usable route can require detours, limited crossing points, and changes created by state lines or local access patterns.

That is why this article labels every mileage figure as straight-line or great-circle. If you need the road route from your own starting point, the reliable method is to enter the venue's coordinates or place name into your mapping service and compare that live route separately.

Where Primm, Nevada sits in regional terms

The venue is in Primm, in the state of Nevada. From the coordinate pair alone, the site is in the western United States and in southern Nevada.

Using only the documented comparison points, the property lies northwest of Phoenix, east of Los Angeles, southeast of Reno, and south of Las Vegas. Those directional relationships come from the relative positions of the named places against the venue's published coordinates and the supplied distance matrix, not from road routing.

How to use the matrix if your starting point is different

Your location can change; the venue's location does not. If the exact place you care about is not one of the documented pairings in the table, this article cannot measure that specific straight-line segment for you.

What it can do is anchor the venue at 35.614945, -115.384504 and show you nearby and far-away comparison points that are already documented. You can then measure from your own origin in a map tool by dropping the venue coordinates as the destination and comparing that with your own saved location.

This matters because people often read a distance article as if it were a route article. It is not. The matrix tells you where the property sits relative to known places, while your route planner tells you how a real trip unfolds under current conditions.

What to confirm before you go

Before travelling, confirm the live details that do not appear in a fixed-location article. The main items are current operating status, hotel availability, parking arrangements, any age or identification rules that may apply on arrival, and any venue-specific access or check-in policies.

The authoritative current answers live on the property's own booking pages, venue information pages, and guest-services contact channels. Those are also the right places to confirm whether the documented room count, gaming inventory, or ownership details still match the current property presentation, because casino venues change over time.
