Truth be told, it's not that bad a commute. One year, I tent camped at the KOA, shipped a bicycle out, stayed in Wendover, and got some exercise, although I did get a lot of rides back and forth into town with friends in a car.
Once you're in West Wendover, the shuttles run between all of the casinos, so getting around is no issue, and the rides are free.
Showers are available at the truck stop at Exit 4.
Flew into SLC, took the gambling bus to Wendover, pitched a tent, picked up the bike the next day, and the whole trip including flight set me back less than $500.00.
I'm a cheap bastard when I set my mind to it . . .
