There have been no recent Nevada polls. Indeed the last poll I have of the Presidential race  (from last year) has Trump winning Nevada. But this makes sense.

In any event, many of the casino workers and people in related businesses (like restaurants and hotels) are Hispanic. This may hurt Donald Trump badly.

Nevada was more conservative when ranching interests dominated. That is over. Outside of Clark (Las Vegas), Washoe (Reno), and Carson City, Nevada is about as Republican as Idaho. Of course the population is heavily in Reno-Sparks, Carson City, and Greater Las Vegas. Few states have so much of their populated concentrated in so little of the state as does Nevada. Alaska, maybe. Even Utah has its population spread out along the I-15 corridor. Nevada has no highly-populated corridor.

Ranch areas of Nevada are still very conservative. They no longer dominate statewide politics.

Of course. It makes no sense that Hillary spent money in NV, but not in PA. NV will not vote Republican, period. If the polls show it close, it's probably just due to undersampling Hispanics yet again.
What past undersampling of Hispanics are you referring too? The 2010 Senate Race between Reid and Angle?

Sharron Angle was simply an execrable candidate.
