Really??? I know of Nevada casinos which are right up against the Nevada/California state line, or where everybody thinks the state line is. If they resurvey and find some casinos are really not in Nevada, would cause issues.....

You are correct. However, those casinos needn’t worry any more. First, because the USSupreme Court finalized the NV/CA boundry line in 1980 such that those casinos remain safely in NV. And second, because even back then (before the court’s order was known), the California legislature was prepared with a bill to grant the casinos exemption from CA’s then-No-casinos-law. Since then, CA has had a proliferation of casinos itself (osetensibly under ‘Indian’ sponsorship, although that’s reportedly been an extremely elastic requirement -— all the NV casinos would have to do is hire FakeAHontus the phoney Injun Squaw Eliz. Warren as their front-person... and I bet they’d get by as CA “Indian” casinos., ha!). Problem solved!

Yes it would, big time, which is why there has been no survey since 1864. I read a book about the entire situation a few years ago, and until that time, most of what is now Eastern California (from the Sierra crest eastward) was thought to be in Nevada until 1864, when the county seat of Mono County was moved westward from Nevada to president day Bridgeport, CA. The present border is now thought to actually a few 1000 yards off.
