LAS VEGAS — Hillary Clinton pulled out a win in the Nevada caucus Saturday, defeating Sen. Bernie Sanders by a comfortable margin and giving her bid a much-needed boost as she heads into next Saturday’s primary in South Carolina.

Clinton was leading Sanders, 52% to 48% when the Associated Press called the race, with 64% of precincts reporting.

"Some may have doubted us, but we never doubted ourselves," Clinton told a crowd of supporters gathered at Caesar's Palace casino supporting her win.

"America has a right to be angry, but we’re also hungry for real solutions," Clinton added, likely a swipe at Sanders, whose campaign is fueled by a number of angry voters who are drawn to his revolution.

Though polling is notoriously difficult in Nevada, Clinton's significant lead in the ethnically diverse state had all but vanished in the days leading up to the caucuses.

Still, Clark County — which includes the iconic Las Vegas Strip — came in strong for Clinton, helping her pull out a victory.

At Caesar’s Palace, where workers could take time off work to caucus, Clinton won with 190 votes to Sanders’ 81 — largely thanks to Latina women who skewed older.

Other areas in the strip provided Clinton with equally strong margins.

"She wants to be equal for the women, which is good," said Abby Taclibon, a 32-year-old first-time caucus-goer and Filipino immigrant who chose Clinton in the caucus.

That was the sentiment of a number of immigrant women Mashable spoke with outside the Caesar's Palace caucus location.

"I think Hillary stands up for us, I need it," said Ophelia Sanchez, a Latina immigrant who took time off her shift at the Bellagio to caucus for Clinton.

Nevada was an important win for Clinton, suggesting that ultimately Sanders was unable to siphon support from her among minority voters.

And now with two primary wins under her belt, the delegate math is squarely in her favor as the nominating contest heads to the south — where African-American voters, who overwhelmingly favor Clinton's bid, make up a large portion of the electorate.

Sanders conceded to Clinton Saturday.

I just spoke to Secretary Clinton and congratulated her on her victory here in Nevada. I am very proud of the campaign we ran. Five weeks ago we were 25 points behind and we ended up in a very close election. And we probably will leave Nevada with a solid share of the delegates. I am also proud of the fact that we have brought many working people and young people into the political process and believe that we have the wind at our back as we head toward Super Tuesday. I want to thank the people of Nevada for their support that they have given us and the boost that their support will give us as we go forward.

But he took a much sharper tone in an email to supporters, to whom he vowed he's in the race for the long haul.

He said narrowing the gap between himself and Clinton in Nevada shows he can "win anywhere."
