Primm, as Stateline is now called, is just about 35 to 45 minutes from the south end of the strip. It's a very easy trip, and does not need to be a day trip, just go for a couple of hours if you are interested.
There are three casino's and an outlet mall, and two gas stations.
On the way there you will see Jean, which is two casinos across the interstate from each other.

Yup, you are right, I assume though that since they are in Vegas, they mean Primm (guess that's one of the reasons they changed the name from Stateline
)But if they are planning to visit the other two, it will be a very very very long day trip!

I am sure it's Primm, the home of Primmadona, Whiskey Pete's and Buffalo Bills Casinos....and the outlet malls....
Are you taking a bus trip out there? I am not sure you would want to spend a whole day there.
Spending an entire day at Stateline (Primm/Jean) has no appeal to me. They do have 99cent shrimp cocktail which I pick up on my way back/forth between Vegas and CA.

Primm and Jean are not the same place. Jean is 12 miles into Vegas. Primm is at the stateline.
What can you do at Primm?

What can you do at Primm?
- There are three casinos, as mentioned previously
- There's the Desperado, a renown rollercoaster
- There are "Premium" Outlets
- There is a tram to ride over the freeway from one resort to the others
- You can spend some time at lunch...
- If the MegaMillions is high, you can walk over the state line from the end of the outlets and purchase tickets from the convenience store.

Outet Stores - Not eough to make a day of it, three Casinos, Same Same
The longest I have ever spent there is the time it takes the Barista to make my Starbucks drink.
It's a One Day turn around bus destination from SoCal, with the Casinos offering enough spiffs to the tour operators to stop 40 miles short of Vegas, can't imagine going there from Vegas, where everything at Primm is available at 10 x the scale

If you are offered the free bus trip, (usually with a free buffet) to Laughlin, you may want to consider that one.
It's a bigger than Primm, sits along the Colorado River and you get to see the Hoover Dam on the way there.
But if this trip is in the summer or late spring, maybe pass, Laughlin can hit 120 degree's pretty easily that time of year.

We have taken the Laughlin free bus tour twice. More than one of the tour companies offers it. Whether you will see Hoover dam or not depends on the route the tour bus takes. Ours did not pass Hoover dam. It went straight down 95. I believe that they generally do not take the Hoover Dam route because it is longer. Personally, I would NOT take either the Primm nor the Laughlin bus tours even if they paid me. It is really a boring trip and all you are going to see are more casinos without the glitz and glamor of Las Vegas. We went to Laughlin to visit friends and cash in a few hundred dollars worth of points at the Flamingo.

Primm
The outlet mall has one of the few Tommy Bahama outlets in North America and an William Sonoma.
Terrible Herbt has jsut purchased the casinos from MGM so they may change.
We stopped in Jean at the Gold Strike for a fantastic $9.99 steak and lobster meal (wich I think is now $23.99) a couple of years ago. It is closing soon so the stop is for the Nevada Landing accross the road.
It is a lovely desert drive an well worth the trip.
