Winnemucca is a city in Nevada, roughly midway across the state on Interstate 80.
Winnemucca is reached via Interstate-80 coming from the east (Salt Lake City) or west (Reno), and by Highway-95 coming from the north (Boise) or south (Las Vegas).
In addition to bus service, Amtrak serves Winnemucca with the California Zephyr, which runs daily between Emeryville (in the San Francisco Bay Area) and Chicago.
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.
Winnemucca hosts several Basque restaurants, including traditional family-style dining at the Martin Hotel and Winnemucca Hotel, and restaurant-style dining at Ormachea's. 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.
There are also several Mexican restaurants in town: Las Margaritas, Chihuahua's, Dos Amigos.
There is no AT&T cell service in Winnemucca. If you need to get online, Sid's and Jack in the Box both have free (open) Wi-Fi.
You can take US 95 North to Boise, Lewiston, and Coeur d'Alene. Interstate 80 connects Winnemucca with Reno, Sacramento, and San Francisco to the west, and Elko, Salt Lake City, and the Rocky Mountains to the east. US 95 South goes with Interstate 80 West to south of Lovelock, where it goes down to Fallon, Las Vegas, and Yuma.
