The derelict roller coaster runs above and around the Bison Steve Hotel. The barricade is held on the west by a squad of NCR troopers, led by Lieutenant Hayes. An overpass outside of the town serves as a barricade. When approaching the entrance to Primm, the Courier will be greeted by an NCR trooper and warned that the center of town is held by convicts. It is possible to engage the escaped convicts through the fence, but to enter the town proper will require approaching from the western or southern ends. Most of the intact buildings of Primm are in the eastern section, which is completely surrounded by a metal fence. The outpost serves to prevent convicts from pushing further south to the NCR's Mojave outpost as opposed to protecting Primm, which has already fallen to the Powder Gangers. The landscape of Primm is dominated by a few empty ranch homes, the rubble of the town's main streets and storefronts as well as a small NCR camp set up southwest of town. A single squad would be enough to tip the scales and allow Lieutenant Hayes to storm the city and take it for the Republic. The town would be a great strategic location in the southern Mojave, especially with the loss of Nipton, but the Company is undermanned and undergunned. The NCR maintains a token outpost at the eastern edge of town, with 1st Company of 5th Army Battalion keeping tabs on the convicts. The Bison Steve was turned into impromptu headquarters as the convicts plan to expand and wreck the town even further. The former inmates patrol the city and prevent caravans from moving safely up the I-15 to New Vegas. Over the next month, Primm became a lawless hell under convict control. Samuel and Michelle Kerr were two Primm traders who cut their losses and re-established themselves at the 188 Trading Post. Those lucky enough to reach the highway left the town behind. They had enough supplies to last for a while and the convicts couldn't pick them off, but they were in no position to retake the town. The residents holed up in the downtrodden Vikki & Vance Casino, resulting in a stalemate. A number of convicts broke off from the newly formed Powder Gangers, organized themselves into a gang and stormed Primm, killing the sheriff and his wife in their sleep and taking control of the town. All that changed when the prisoners of the NCRCF broke out in late 2281 and started wreaking havoc.
Unlike its neighbor, Nipton, it also had an effective sheriff.
For all who couldn't or wouldn't want to reach New Vegas, it offered a casino, hotel, several shops and a courier waystation. In the late 23rd century, as the NCR expanded into the Mojave, it suddenly became a promising trade town, benefiting from the growing traffic to and from New Vegas, both civilian and military. It developed a small, tightly-knit community over time. The town lost much of its appeal after the Great War, as survivors and then wastelanders had other concerns. The resort had a number of tourist attractions to boost its appeal, including the Vikki and Vance Casino, dedicated to a pair of outlaws who were the southwest answer to Bonnie and Clyde, and the Bison Steve Casino and Hotel, with the Mojave's largest and most rickety rollercoaster, El Diablo. Quickly becoming known as a budget version of the latter, Primm allowed tourists from California to get a taste of the city of sin on the way in or lose what remained of their savings on the way out. Before the Great War, Primm was a small resort town located in Clark County, Nevada, sitting alongside Interstate 15 connecting Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
