Thanks for looking into these. I've never heard of West Wendover. This must be a fairly new designation (two or three years) as I grew up not too far from there and its name has always been Wendover. How did you find out about West Wendover?
If you have time, you might want to look at Jackpot, Nevada too. It's on the border with Idaho, but I'm not sure if there are any structures on the Idaho side or if the name is Jackpot, Idaho. I've only seen it on road maps.

I was right about West Wendover NV. There's actually a fair number of
these places where the town across the border is modified by a
direction. Usually there's a river between them, but Beloit WI/South
Beloit IL and Fairview MT/East Fairview ND are a couple others that
have no river.
And there's actually no town named Lake Tahoe, but rather South Lake
Tahoe CA. The town across the border is State Line NV.
