I have a feeling the casinos may not be in favor. They will have to foot the bill for new schools etc. Most of their workers live on the Utah side so Utah has to pay ALL the bills for them. The Nevada side only has the bosses houses & kids to deal with. It will be interesting to see. Utah has everything to gain out of the deal. Nevada will basically get more expense than benefits as I see it. Utah side is about getto & run down.
It is like Needles Ca wants to be a part of Nevada. They are trying to become part of Clark Co. The casinos would gain a part of I-40 for big casinos plus more river property for casinos. See in Nevada the casinos rule what goes on if it is a gain for them with little cost then they are interested, but Wendover Utah I'm not to sure that will make them MONEY without some major expense.
My wife & I were born & raised in Nevada & we aren't young, so I watched this for many many years.
