Anybody here know about Elko, Nevada?

[Whoson1st]

That findyourspot site which blue edwards listed says this is the best for me.

Anybody know anything??

I didn't think so. LOL

 

[WHALE]

ok???

 

[ClipJoint]

When was that site last updated? What is the exact url? Is it findyourspot.com?

I came across one of those sites a couple years ago and really liked it. Maybe it was the same one. But all of the stats were really outdated as far as population and all that. I am sure the cities they list have all changed pretty drastically the last 10 years.

While typing this I checked and that is the same site...I am going to do the survey again and see if it has been updated.

Thanks!

Elko, Nevada just off I-80 in North-East Nevada at over 7,000 feet.

I believe it was a cattle town, apart from run down casinos and brothels, but the drought has been hard on whatever grasslands there were. Frankly its hard to think of more god-forsaken place. Makes Wendover look good.

Yes, I spent a week up there on a video poker play years ago.

Sort of cool, but NO WAY would I ever call it home.

WENDOVER! LMAO...oh, the memories!

After visiting that website, I get an errie feeling...that in another lifetime...I might have lived there. It is beyond strange....spooky feeling! I don't think their casinos have any type of sportsbook...not mentioned. a couple of the casino websites are under construction.

 

[NICKYTHEFISH]

Sure there is a sportsbook in Elko. There is one of those fine Leroys establishments up there.:discuss: <--that will be you yelling at the clerk when trying to get down more than a nickle.

I have been there several times and have found it to be very entertaining. If you live in US check out casinoexpress.com, they offer some excellent packages for 2 or 3 night trips with very little obligation to gamble.

That is beautiful country and is a very friendly part of the world. Regardless of the season it is well worth the inexpensive trip. The high rollers around here should easily get the trip for free. Not Las Vegas but is lots of fun in a different sort of way.


VVV

How the hell does a site pick out Elko for anyone? Elko is a complete afterthought. The only thing they have going for them is Delta flies there once a day going between Reno and Salt Lake. I can't say much about it because I have never been out there, but man that is stunning.

I think one of the keys to getting this place : was A. selecting small communities....and checking that region as preferred. (I think it only contained 3 states, one of which was Nevada.......my goal state)

I just finished the questions and here is what they spit out as my Top 10:

1- Atlantic Beach-Morehead City, North Carolina
2- Morganton, North Carolina
3- Culpeper, Virginia
4- Branson, Missouri
5- Red Bank, New Jersey
6- Fredericksburg, Virginia
7- Edenton, North Carolina
8- Mount Airy, North Carolina
9- Atlantic City, New Jersey
10- New Harmony, Indiana

I think I put too much emphasis on small towns as all of them are under 20,000 population with the exception of Atlantic City.

I am a California guy through and through and couldn't imagine myself in any of those places but think a small town would be nice. A couple of those places look like a relaxing environment.

Anyone know or live in any of those places?

 

[Whoson1st]

Fredricksburg, Va......Becoming a communiting city for Washington, DC.

Will Definately exceed 20,000 shortly if not already. I'm surprised. Nice area.

With the price of gold and silver rising, Elko may be seeing some increased business activity.

8 whore houses must have some :hump: activity.
