Where Las Vegas Sits and How Its Casino Distances Measure

Las Vegas is fixed at 36.1692°N, 115.1406°W. This article gives straight-line miles to documented downtown venues and explains why road distance is always longer.

The Fixed Point You Are Measuring From

Las Vegas sits at 36.16916667 degrees north latitude and 115.14055556 degrees west longitude, and the closest documented venue to that point is d las vegas at 0.1 straight-line miles. Straight-line means great-circle distance, the shortest path across the surface of the earth, not the route a car travels. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any pair.

The question of whether any one-dollar blackjack tables exist in Las Vegas is a live table-minimum question, and no table minimum appears in the documented facts for this article. What is documented is where the venues sit and how far each one is from the city reference point, which is what the rest of this article covers.

Documented Straight-Line Distances from Las Vegas

The table below lists every venue-to-city pair supplied for this article. Each figure is a great-circle measurement between the documented coordinates of Las Vegas and the documented coordinates of the venue. No road distance is included, and none should be inferred from these numbers.

These ten pairs are the only distance measurements this article can state. The documented set contains 318 venues measured to Las Vegas, but only the pairs above are supplied with their exact straight-line figures. If the pair you need is not in the table, this article cannot measure that segment.

Why Straight-Line and Road Distance Diverge

A great-circle line ignores everything on the ground. It crosses buildings, freeway interchanges, drainage channels, and whatever else lies between two coordinate points, because it is a geometric arc, not a path a person can walk or drive. The road network, by contrast, follows streets, avoids obstacles, and bends around blocks.

In downtown Las Vegas, the street grid is dense and regular, but even a short straight-line distance can require a longer road route because of one-way streets, pedestrian zones, and the physical layout of the Fremont Street corridor. The gap between the two measurements grows with distance and with any water, rail, or terrain barrier the road system must route around. None of those road specifics are documented here, which is why this article stops at straight-line figures.

Where Las Vegas Sits in Nevada

Las Vegas is in the state of Nevada, in the southern portion of the state. The documented coordinates place it in the Mojave Desert region, and its position relative to other Nevada cities is a matter of public record. The city reference point used here is a coordinate pair, not a street address, and it is the anchor for every straight-line figure in the table above.

The venues listed in the table cluster tightly around the city reference point. The first five documented venues sit within 0.3 straight-line miles of it, which reflects the dense downtown core where several properties occupy adjacent blocks. The two venues at 1.7 straight-line miles, stratosphere tower and jerry's nugget, are farther from the reference point but still within a short straight-line span.

If You Are Asking from Your Own Location

Your location is not fixed, and this article does not know where you are. If your question is phrased as "near me" or "from my location," there is no starting coordinate to measure from, so no distance can be computed. The venue positions, however, are fixed, and the table above gives you fixed reference points to work with.

To measure from your own position, take your current latitude and longitude and compare them with the venue coordinates documented here. The straight-line distance between any two coordinate pairs is a standard great-circle calculation, and many mapping tools will show it as the crow flies. What those tools will also show is the road route, which is always longer than the straight-line figure and is the number that matters for actual travel.

What the One-Dollar Blackjack Question Requires

Table minimums are set by each venue and change by day, by shift, and by demand. No table minimum for any Las Vegas property appears in the documented facts for this article, so no venue can be said to offer a one-dollar blackjack table. The question is answerable only by checking the current table games board at a specific property on the day you plan to play.

The venues documented near the city reference point all operate table games, but the number of tables and their minimums are live operational details. A venue with 22 table games, as documented for d las vegas, may spread different minimums at different times, and those minimums are not part of the geographic record this article is built on.

What to Confirm Before You Go

If your trip depends on finding a specific table minimum, confirm it with the venue directly before you travel. The property's own table games page, its casino floor signage, or its guest services desk will carry the current minimum for each game and each table. What is printed on a third-party site may be stale, and what was true last month may not be true this week.

For the distance side of your planning, confirm the road route and the time it takes using a current mapping service on the day you depart. The straight-line figures in this article will not tell you how long the drive takes, and they are not a substitute for a route check. The venue coordinates are stable; traffic, construction, and road closures are not.

FAQ

Does this article say whether any Las Vegas casino has a one-dollar blackjack table?

No. Table minimums are not documented in the facts this article is built from, and they change by day and by shift. The article documents venue locations and straight-line distances only. To find a current one-dollar minimum, check the table games board at the specific property on the day you plan to play.

Why does the article give straight-line miles instead of driving miles?

Because the only distance figures supplied are great-circle measurements between documented coordinates. Road distance depends on the route, the road network, and current conditions, none of which are documented here. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not estimate driving mileage or time.

How do I measure the distance from my own location to one of these venues?

Take your current latitude and longitude and compare them with the venue coordinates documented in the article. A great-circle calculation will give you the straight-line distance, and a mapping tool will show the road route, which is the figure that matters for actual travel. The venue positions are fixed; your starting point is not.
