By plane
Tonopah Airportitself doesn't seem to offer commercial flights.
Tonopah is infact closer to Las Vegas than Reno by . So therefore the closest airports would be Henderson Executive Airport (HSH) and (LAS).
If you are factoring Reno into your travels then Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) would be the best place to fly into.

Do
Gambling
If you win...
Chances are that, if you win it big in Tonopah and you are not a U.S. citizen your winnings will be subject to a 30% withholding tax from the Internal Revenue Service. That $10,000 slot winning can dwindle quite quickly if that is taken off the top. Not to worry though: you can reclaim your gambling winnings tax through a 1042-S form. You should get this from the casino so don't lose it — it is your starting ticket to getting your gambling winnings back.-
