Who you see can be a profound influence upon your opinion of a town. Somehow, my experiences with strangers in Elko have been amazingly positive. While never living there, I've made about 3 dozen trips there; most of them to take seniors to dental or eye care. Whether it was locals or employees at healthcare, casino restaurants ( e.g. Gold Dust West ), or other vendors ( pizza, groceries [ e.g., Smith's ] ), Elko has been a friendly place for me. The mountains are gorgeous & deer wander through the town. The senior center is profoundly & positively involved. If you take the time to explore, they have streets with really interesting well-kept homes; a wide range of architecture ( many appear to be antebellum ). And the town itself has some charmingly "folksy" shops along with the big box stores. Elko is an appealing town.
