Wendover

I’ve been to Wendover several times, since it’s the closest place to gamble to the Salt Lake area. It’s fun to go for a night with friends and the rooms are super cheap on weekdays ($30-$40) However, it’s a tiny town and once you’ve blown your money, there’s not much else to do besides check out the Salt Flats. I used to be a fan of Wendover until my last trip in September. I visited about a week after I’d gone to Vegas and the difference in the dealers and game play was astonishing. It just didn’t have the same vibe. The dealers here are not very friendly and they don’t give tips or make conversation. Don’t get me wrong, this place is here for a reason (no gambling in Utah) but if you’re wanting to come here from over 200 miles away, don’t bother. Try Mesquite or even Las Vegas.
