| pacomartin Member since: Jan 14, 2010 Threads: 544 Posts: 6164 | In our discussions about Laughlin, I thought I would mention Wendover. Wendover is a very small market, even compared to downtown or Laughlin, but recently it has been the most profitable section of Nevada's casino business. Before tax profits run about 14% while nearly every other region is suffereng huge losses. Although residents of Salt Lake City are not big gamblers, it would seem that there are enough separated from the flock, who like to sneak away for a chance to play the machines.

| PeteM Member since: Feb 14, 2010 Threads: 4 Posts: 78 | Sneak away? There are so many they need traffic control on I-80. I've a very vivid memory of driving east on 80 early on a Friday evening, just east of Wendover. Maybe two taillights a mile ahead of me, and a steady, continuous two abreast stream of headlights headed west from Salt Lake towards the awful temptations of Wendover. I was chuckling all the way back to Colorado. "Win with a smile, lose with grace." |

No...they're built on ignorance. |

| teddys Member since: Nov 14, 2009 Threads: 99 Posts: 2707 | Don't forget Jackpot, NV, a small town with three casinos just across the border from Idaho. Also appeals to the Mormon population in Southern Idaho. Twin Falls is only an hour away.

| OneAngryDwarf Member since: Dec 17, 2009 Threads: 42 Posts: 201 | Not having much in-depth knowledge of Mormon culture, beyond my own personal views (morally upstanding, admirable work ethic, but completely insane theology)...is this indicative of some kind of seedy underbelly to the Mormon church? Like, there's a group of Mormons who, behind their public facade, gather in basements and backrooms to drink (gasp!) coffee and plan secret junkets across the state line to play some slots? It just seems so strange to me...I know everyone has their vices, but this just seems to fly so blatantly in the face of Mormon culture.
