About Elko County
Elko County sits in northeastern Nevada and includes West Wendover on the Utah border. Its gaming revenue answers to two mostly separate economies: cross-border traffic out of Utah, and the mining employment base around the city of Elko. That combination means it often moves independently of Las Vegas and Reno.
