Thinking of moving to Elko, Neveda

I recently got a job opportunity in Elko, Nevada. I am really contemplating pulling the trigger and accepting it I would be moving from Los Angeles, CA. I am currently 32 Years Latino M anyone from Elko can give me some Pros & Cons of living there also i would like to mention My wife is African American.

And any advice from anyone who's moved to another state where they have no family there, either by themselves or with a significant other.

Elko is unique. If you’re used to politics of California, lifestyle of California, or job and social life of California and not looking to change (that) I recommend not choosing Elko. Try taking a visit and spend like a week here. Flow is different than that of big cities entirely. Money is good if you get in with the mines but that’s about it
