Re: Need a ride to the Wendover Pro

Primm is nice for that. I think its Primm Valley Resort I normally park at? South side of the freeway across the street from the rollar coaster place. Plenty of room, in there back lot for RV's and they are welcome. Chevron there and a McD's for a morning fill up. No soy latte's for Bill though.......
