On The Road To Redmond
THE CASINOS OF NORTHERN NEVADA
While Las Vegas is the Casino Capitol, there are also hundreds of other casinos scattered throughout the state of Nevada. Some interesting casino stops can be found along I-80 across northern Nevada.
Westbound I-80 travelers find a cluster of four casinos as soon as they cross the UT/NV state line. The West Wendover, NV casinos can be seen from the interstate. They are Montego Bay, Wendover Nugget, Peppermill and Rainbow. There is a 50-space RV Park at the Wendover Nugget (look for it behind the Shell station.) There is also a large lot designated for oversized vehicles on the far west end of Wendover Blvd. (just west of the Peppermill and across the street from the Rainbow.) Free overnight parking is permitted.
A number of other casinos are located along I-80 from the Utah state line to California just west of Reno. Even the Flying J at exit 352 has a small casino. The oldest continually operating casino in Nevada can be found in Elko at exit 301, along with three other casinos. The Model T at Winnemucca (exit 176) is a friendly little casino with a cozy 24-hour cafe.
If you enjoy fishing as well as gambling -- and you have time for a side trip -- the town of Jackpot, NV makes for an interesting stop. Located 68 miles north of I-80 on US-93, this charming little town, surrounded by mountain wilderness, is a bright cluster of casinos just south of the Idaho state line. There are many outdoor recreational opportunities in and around Jackpot, including excellent fishing in the nearby Little Salmon River and its tributaries. Cactus Pete's Casino has a moderately-priced 91-space RV Park and RV guests are invited to use the amenities at the resort hotel. The resort also has an 18-hole golf course. From Jackpot, it's just 40 miles or so north into Twin Falls, ID where you can pick up I-84 west into Oregon.
