The hotel has newly renovated 777 rooms and suites, a large swimming pool, gift shop, and four restaurants. Whiskey Pete's is one of the Primm Valley Resorts, owned and operated by Affinity Gaming. The casino covers {{convert|34800|sqft|abbr=on}} and includes a race and sports book.[1] HistoryThe area originally was owned by a gas station owner named Pete MacIntyre. Pete is believed to have had a difficult time making ends meet selling gas and had resorted to bootlegging. Primm history remembers him as "Whiskey Pete."{{Citation needed|date=March 2009}} When Whiskey Pete died in 1933, legend has it that he wanted to be buried standing up with a bottle of bootleg in his hands so he could watch over the area. Whiskey Pete's unmarked grave was accidentally exhumed while workers were building a connecting bridge from Whiskey Pete's to Buffalo Bill's (on the other side of I-15). The body was moved and is now said to be buried in one of the caves where Pete cooked up his moonshine.[2] Whiskey Pete's was opened in 1977 by Ernest Jay Primm as the first of the casinos[3] to be located at what was then called State Line. In 1983, a new hotel tower was constructed as part of an expansion of the property.[4] In late 1998, Whiskey Pete's offered the roof of the parking garage as a Valley Hospital Flight For Life Base.{{Citation needed|date=March 2009}} Bonnie and Clyde's death carWhiskey Pete's lobby displays the car in which Bonnie and Clyde were killed.

Alexander Harris CaseAlexander Harris, a seven-year-old child from Mountain View, California was reported missing from the video arcade of Whiskey Pete's in November 1987.

Whiskey Pete's is connected to Primm Valley Resort by a free single-car monorail across Interstate 15. The tram was constructed by Schwager-Davis using the UniTrak technology and was retrofitted in 1996.[6] The tram travels at 15 mph and can transport 1,200 people, per hour, per direction (pphpd). Doors on either side allow passengers to enter and exit the tram at the same time, thus reducing the dwell time from 2 minutes to 1 minute. Trams arrive every 3 to 5 minutes {{Citation needed|date=September 2011}}. See also
