Deductions & credits

Hi, wondering if someone can tell me what expenses are claimable against gambling winnings for a non-resident alien doing a 1040NR return?  I had 30% of my winnings withheld on a win in Las Vegas during a two week stay. I specifically went to LV  to play in poker tournaments and gamble. Can I claim my travel,  accommodation and per diem costs? Are there any caps or limits on per diem or accommodation costs? I travelled from Australia and returned back to Australia at the end of my trip.

 

Thanks in anticipation.
