Music scene · West Wendover

West Wendover is a small casino town on the Nevada-Utah border. Music life centers on lounge acts at gaming properties, special events, and local school programs. Country and classic rock cover bands are common. Salt Lake City-area musicians drive west for weekend casino gigs.

Casino lounges, event rooms, local bars and restaurants, and the high school auditorium host performances. Community center rooms are used for local gatherings. Salt Lake City-area artists frequently drive in for paid lounge work.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Salt Lake City scene occasionally passing through.

Ask casino event coordinators and local bars about lounge and cover-band openings. School music programs offer a local foundation. Many musicians commute from Salt Lake City or Elko for steady casino work.
