The warm desert sun, the bright neon lights, the showgirls, the cold hard cash all make Las Vegas one of the most unique cities in the world.  There is something so exciting about spending a weekend playing slots or cards and then boarding the plane home with your casino winnings.

The cacophony of bells, whistles and tumbling coins sends an adrenaline rush through nearly everyone who hears it. Sometimes, however, you don’t leave with all your money. If you are Canadian or an International visitor your lucky money will be subject to a gambling winnings tax.

However, it is important to realize that there are ways to recoup that money in casino tax refunds.

Recouping the gambling tax can be done, so don’t think that you have to head back home to your country and lose out on part of your winnings.
