Primm

 is one of the towns in the western Mojave Wasteland, and appears in Fallout: New Vegas. According to the citizens of New Vegas, the only reason to go there is Buffalo Bill's Casino and Hotel (in game called Bison Steve hotel). The Courier was supposed to have delivered a package to Primm, but was nearly killed in the process and ended up in a shallow grave. Primm serves as the primary point for the player to travel to after finishing with Goodsprings. Part of the main quest revolves around saving deputy Beagle and finding a new sheriff.

Layout
There is a roller coaster in Primm which goes above and around the Bison Steve hotel there are convicts on/around the rollercoaster. In the center of Primm lays a massive barricade that has split the town in half. The barricade is held by the NCR. When approaching Primm, you will be greeted by a NCR member saying that the town is off limits. In Primm there is Bison Steve's, a hotel where the Deputy Beagle is being held by convicts. There is also the Vikki and Vance Casino where you will find the non-hostile citizens of Primm.

Bugs

 * If you have not updated your game, (see bottom if you have) there is an incredibly useful glitch that will make you rich but could ruin the game's fun. Once you have found a sheriff for the town, wait a few days and enter the Vicky and Vance. A group of gang members/raiders will walk in after you. Attack them and kill them, or with a high enough speech, talk them into leaving (for non violent resolution). Then leave Primm and wait a few more days. Go back to the Vicky and Vance and talk to the cashier/chip exchanger. This glitch makes it so whenever you exhange your chips for money, the lady will not take your chips but will give you the money. Ask to exchange caps for chips (1000) and re-exchange them without exiting dialogue. Buy a thousand more chips and exchange them for caps. This time you'll get 2000. It'll increase pay out for each 1000 chips you buy and the chips will not go away. For Xbox 360, you can get rid of the update by clearing the systems Cache NOTE! This will not delete any DLC because it just deletes all patches for games, but in the process of removing the patches it makes DLC impossible to run. This bug is confirmed to work on the PS3 version as of 10/25/2010.


 * Sometimes while fast traveling to Primm, a random Bloatfly will appear on the streets.
