Sure, Primm is 35 miles south of Las Vegas on Interstate 15. It's a drive. However, the roller coaster at Buffalo Bill's Casino has been called the best in Southern Nevada, so it just may be worth the drive. Riders get an absolutely breathtaking view of the Primm Valley from the coaster's top height of 209 feet. Then it plunges at tremendous speed into a succession of twists, turns and unexpected surprises. Experts and addicted riders rank the Desperado among the top ten roller coasters in North America. It's also one of the tallest and fastest in the U.S. Oh, and the Desperado lasts a lot longer than many of the area coasters. It's literally 2.43 minutes of pure fun with some heart-pounding fear mixed in. Admission $7.00. Open various hours, call 1-800-FUN-STOP for specific hours.
