I'm moving to Nevada for full-time sportsbook access and was curious about the different areas. I've been to Vegas a ton and its great for a week at a time, but I'm not so sure it'd be a great place to live. Does anybody have any insight on places like Laughlin, Reno, Carson City, etc? I was thinking it'd be nice to live near Tahoe, possibly even in California, but don't know how far it would be to the nearest book.
 
Also curious about the odds in the non-Vegas areas, i.e. how quick are they available and whether there is another book in Nevada that is both as quick and detailed as the Hilton's lines. I've been at some Stations casinos in Vegas and it can be frustrating as hell when they don't offer added games until Wednesday or don't offer totals until late in the week.
 
Any feedback from posters or moderators is much appreciated

Going to carson city is a good move,
you are away from the scum of reno and your
only 30 mins from tahoe.
(Tahoe has 4 places to wager and all are very close to each
other, when you get there you'll see.)
the weather for the most part is very comfortable
and you can find places to wager right on
carson street, like the casino fandango.
There are a few Leroys around and Cal-Neva's.

Another place you may like is the town of MINDEN
which is just south of carson city.


Did you think of the town of ELKO?
There are 3 different sets of lines there
as there is about 5 places to wager on sports,
but it does get cold .

Laughlin is set up with all the casinos on the
"river walk", but there is about 5 LEROYS
and I think the Riverside is an indy.
There you could live in Bullhead city, arizona although
down there it is warmer than vegas.

Trust me you'll be very happy NOT living in
Las Vegas.
Too many panhandlers , drug addicts ,moron southern
californians around here.

Yavapai.. great stuff. Thanks a bunch
 
I've honestly never heard of Minden, but I'll definitely look into it. From what I've got so far on my research, it looks like the Tahoe area is the place to go.
 
I am with you on Vegas. Will people from LA ever get the memo the rest of the country doesn't think they are the center of the universe? I hate being around the clubs in Vegas on a Friday or Saturday when all those MTV wannabee's are wasting Mommy and Daddy's money on trying to seem like royalty. Ugh. The surrounding Henderson/Summerlin areas aren't as bad, but the Strip is certainly a SoCal cesspool

Pete,

I used to live on the North Side of lake Tahoe for 2 years, Incline Village to be exact.  There are 3 books with 15 mins of the town - That said Tahoe is not for everyone - beautiful place but the night life is terrible - If you are the hiker/biker/skier you will love it - but if you are like me and enjoy dinners out - drinking - woman under 30 - you may find Tahoe to be less then expected.

You should also consider the cost of living - my SMALL 2 bedroom was +$1000 - in addition little things like food can easily cost twice the price - remember Tahoe is a resort town - thus resort prices for EVERYTHING!!!

Personally I think Carson City - Reno to be the arm-pit of America - nothing but Cowboys, truckers, and pimps - As with any city there are nice parts - but again you are going to pay from them too.

If it was my choice - Vegas.  The strip is just as bad as above but once you leave the lights there are very nice towns surrounding.

Good Luck with you move.

From a pure-gambling-point-of-view, West Wendover could be the best town in Nevada.  There are 3 local books that favor the dogs and 2 Leroys that usually favor the favorites.  Lots of middles and mistake lines available.  Black Jack is single deck and there are 3 poker rooms.  Casinos give away lots or player points.
 
Cheap to live but colder than Vegas in the Winter. 6500 population but doubles on the weekends.  1 1/2 hours from SLC.
 
Not much else to do except golf, off-road, hunt, hike and troll for women.

i have a home in laughlin....actually bullhead city.   no large crowds,  no traffic jams,  the colorado river and lake mohave are great for water sports.   low cost of living,    inexpensive restaurants,  inexpensive shows at casinos.....rodeos,  automobile racing...........i personally like it.    my house is rented.....can't wait to go back next fall.   warmer than vegas by about 8 degrees which makes it nice in the winter.........little windy,  but that is the desert.      lower minimums at the table games.......dealers are friendly although the women aren't gorgeous like up in vegas.   it is kind of like the way las vegas used to be.   have met a lot of people from las vegas who vacation there and that is what they tell me.
