About West Wendover
West Wendover sits directly on the Utah state line in Elko County and exists as a gaming market almost entirely because of it: the great majority of its play arrives by road from the Salt Lake City metro area. That single dependency makes it one of the more predictable markets in the state. Separate reporting begins in 2018.
Other Nevada markets in 2005
All figures are gaming win at nonrestricted locations, taken from the Nevada Gaming Control Board's monthly Gaming Revenue Information reports. Win is what casinos kept after paying winning wagers, before taxes and operating costs. Restricted locations, the taverns and stores running fifteen machines or fewer, are reported separately and excluded here.
