Whiskey Peter’s Hotel & Casino (Primm Valley) is a resort gem situated about thirty miles outside of Las Vegas on highway 15.
The popular tourist attraction (which boasts a Medieval castle fascade replete with eye-catching turrets) is a great respite from it all for those seeking a little R & R away from the garish bright lights of sin city proper.
From Sunday thru Thursday, the rates are quite reasonable - particularly so - if the accommodation is booked online at one of the discount bookers affiliated with the travel industry.
Except for a little snafu at check-in which was a trifle upsetting, a recent stay at the low-key Hotel proved to be quite comfortable and relaxing.

A lagoon-style pool - set in a picturesque courtyard dotted with palm streets that whisper in the wind and a handful of rock formations that lend a touch of the exotic to the recreational area - is a great place to cool down in the intense afternoon sun.
For ambitious travellers inclined to squeeze fun out of every moment, a shuttle is available every fifteen minutes - 24/7 - to transport guests across the highway to Buffalo Bills where slot players and card sharks may wile away a few entertaining hours.
For those who love to shop, an upscale mall features a host of retail outlets, plying everything from trendy fashions, to souvenirs, and pricey utilitarian gadgets.
By the way, if you ever wondered what happened to gangster Dick Schultz's 1931 Lincoln, it is currently on display in the lobby of Whiskey Pete's!
The custom-built roadster is bullet-proof, boasts lead-filled doors, and inch-thick windshield and side-door window glass.
After the notorious underworld figure's death, the Chicago Police Department seized the vehicle, and sold it at auction in 1935.
Along a long-and-winding road, the elegant auto ended up in the desert at the Primm Valley resort.
There's golf nearby, too.
Enjoy!
