Just wondering do any CPers here know if we can get the sales tax we paid in the states, say on a trip down to the states for vacation, back as a refund? I recently went down to Vegas and bought some stuff and paid the local sales tax in Nevada (@ 7.75%)

I was just wondering if I can get a refund back for the sales tax that I paid there, since I am not a US citizens/Nevada state resident. I thought I read somewhere that if you are a visitor or something, you are exempt from the sales tax for the goods you buy, and therefore qualify for a sales tax refund? I think you fill out a form or some kind?
If not, I guess the state of Nevada just took away some money from me! But I guess it is worth it since they have some awesome deals down there!

Thanks!
