Gambling
If you win...
Chances are that, if you win it big in Winnemucca 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.Winnemucca hosts several casinos, including Winners, the Model T, the Sundance, and Legends.

Eat
Winnemucca hosts several Basque restaurants, including traditional family-atyle dining at the Martin Hotel and Winnemucca Hotel, and restaurant-style dining at Ormachea's and San Fermin. Don't pass up the chance for some Picon Punch. Ormachea's is also a great Basque establishment with larger portions. It seems like the Martin has downsized their portions in the last few months.
