Wendover and Mesquite crowd conditions

That's usually a slow week everywhere
The week between Christmas and New Year's is usually slow throughout Nevada. Though I haven't been to Wendover or Mesquite during that particular week, I doubt if they're any different. I'm scheduled to be in Wendover during that week this year, though. Perhaps our paths will cross.
Unless you have a specific reason to go to Mesquite, don't bother. There's not much worthwhile in Mesquite. It's very low-roller, much like Laughlin. Green chips and above stand out. When the casinos are near-empty, the tables are managed full by closing other tables. It is tough to find playable conditions, especially at single deck.
A better alternative to Mesquite is Jackpot, about 125 miles from Wendover. When making plans note that Wendover and Jackpot are the only places in Nevada that are on Mountain time rather than Pacific time.

Makes sense
My reasoning behind going to Mesquite was that if tables were too crowded for SD, I could play DD, and hit the southern part of the state and return home from Las Vegas. But if the crowds are going to be manageable there's no reason to do that. The only drawback I can see to Jackpot is that if I get the boot from those stores there's nothing worthwhile close by. But I'll take your word for it.

I'm always willing to eat cards or perform other useful tricks in order to learn from a pro at the table.

How are you getting there? *LINK*
Isn't Wendover something like 3 hours from Salt Lake City an 2 hours from Elko (not that anyone would go to Elko in the first place)? Where are you flying into? I've been trying to plan a trip there for a while but it seems so out-of-the-way. I guess that's the magic of Wendover.

Certainly not
I'm not going to finalize my plans until the December CBJN comes out. Who knows what could change? As it is now the only reason I would stop in Elko would be if I were passing through and wanted to spread aggressively until backed off, and just head on down the road. I might even drive down to Laughlin and head back from LAS.
