@TheNVIndy @howardstutz Well that’s heartwarming to hear if the negotiations are successful.

While it’s not hard to see why Primm is in a much vulnerable state than the likes of Laughlin given how remote and scarcely populated it is, the Primm family are its best bet to turn it around.

@VitalVegas (2) It’s like every other day we’re hearing about the unpteenth fast food franchise debuting a location in Vegas whether it’s Whataburger, Jollibees, etc…………and there’s only so much you can do to separate yourself from all the others in this market.

[Nadia Lockheart @NadiaLockheart]

@VitalVegas The novelty just dissipated over time and ultimately it just looked like another burger joint with a more edgy marketing angle. I’m certainly sad for the jobs lost in result, but the burger market is just so oversaturated.

[Nadia Lockheart @NadiaLockheart]

@TheNVIndy @howardstutz The operators’ deep pockets drying out, being in a remote area at a time where gasoline is so expensive, and the lack of sizable surrounding communities like Laughlin enjoys with Bullhead City and Mohave City, were key to Primm’s demise. 💓

[Nadia Lockheart @NadiaLockheart]

@VitalVegas Yikes, not a good look. 🥲

[Nadia Lockheart @NadiaLockheart]

@VitalVegas The oversaturation of fast food brands/hype as of late was definitely a key contributor to its demise, I think. As interesting as their marketing gimmick was, you can only keep it up for so long when your product is so pervasive and familiar.

[Nadia Lockheart @NadiaLockheart]

@SkylarJameson1 @VitalVegas That is certainly a contributing factor as well. I’m just saying that a place like Laughlin is better insulated from Primm’s situation because of the close proximity of several other sizable cities to it whose working-class demographics mirror Laughlin’s core consumer base.

[Nadia Lockheart @NadiaLockheart]

@VitalVegas The deep pockets of its original investors drying up, coupled with its remote location alongside sky-high fuel costs disincentivizing many to bother driving there like they used to, has led to Primm’s sad but predictable demise. I feel sad for the longtime employees there.

[Nadia Lockheart @NadiaLockheart]

@LasVegasLocally The writing was on the wall for a good while: given the high costs of fuel, its remote location and tribal casinos eroding its consumer base over time. Plus the loss of investors with deep pockets like they initially had.

@VitalVegas Rio definitely was the catalyst for this wave of frenzied LED screen updates, haha!

@VitalVegas (2) I also feel Luxor badly needs to refresh its restaurant portfolio. That’s one area where the resort is lacking significantly. Aurora is a cool lounge, but that’s about it in terms of lounges as well.

[Nadia Lockheart @NadiaLockheart]

@VitalVegas Very smart decision.

PLAY Playground was definitely a step in the right direction in its own right, but Luxor is still missing something and much of the ground level can’t help but feel underutilized. Can’t wait for specifics.

@VitalVegas These media grifters don’t even actually believe their own exaggerated BS, but they’ll never admit it because the point of grifting is to whip up a volatile audience to continue selfishly raking in revenue.

[Nadia Lockheart @NadiaLockheart]

@VitalVegas @MGMGrand Nellie’s was alright from what I heard, but it just always seemed that their obvious closest competitor Yardbird always outdid them in terms of buzz.

@vandal_muldoon @LasVegasLocally I don’t know how “elite” is defined when it comes to pasta. I have most enjoyed pasta at Sinatra and Balla, though.

[Nadia Lockheart @NadiaLockheart]

@thisishowivegas @LasVegasLocally And these media grifters are certainly missing out on a lot of great, inexpensive food a mere mile off-Strip in Chinatown and Filipino Town as well by not bothering to do their research. Their loss.

[Nadia Lockheart @NadiaLockheart]

@LasVegasLocally (2) It’s just self-indulgent, cynically-minded grifting on both their parts.

[Nadia Lockheart @NadiaLockheart]

@LasVegasLocally She knew what she was doing before making that post. Much like Jake of Bright Sun Films did before blatantly jumping on the “Vegas Is Expensive” bandwagon with his YouTube video.

[Nadia Lockheart @NadiaLockheart]

@LasVegasLocally @JMLV51 That’s because they’re grifters and they’re pouncing on this opportunity before the bubble eventually bursts.
