The fixed position you can measure
The D Las Vegas sits 0.1 straight-line miles from the Las Vegas city reference point, a great-circle figure between two documented coordinate pairs. Road distance is always longer than that, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any pair. What it can do is anchor the venue's fixed geographic position and show how nearby properties relate to it on a map.
The question about two-dollar blackjack tables is a live table-minimum question, and no fixed document can answer it. Table minimums change by shift, by day, and by property decision, so the honest answer is that no stable published figure exists. What is stable is where the venues sit, and that is what the rest of this article covers.
The venue and its documented footprint
The D Las Vegas is documented at 36.16972222 north latitude and -115.14277778 west longitude, at the eastern end of the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. Publicly published reference sources record the property as having more than 1,000 slot machines and 22 table games across two floors, with an opening date of July 2, 1980 under its earlier Sundance Hotel name. Ownership is documented as Derek and Greg Stevens.
Those facility figures describe a documented point in time, not a live count today. Casinos reconfigure floor layouts, move table pits, and change machine counts as they renovate, so any single published figure should be read with an as-of caveat.
Straight-line distances to nearby documented venues
The table below lists every venue-to-city pair that is documented for this location set. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, which is the shortest path over the earth's surface between two coordinate points, not a road route.
| Reference point | Straight-line miles | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas (city reference point) | 0.1 | great-circle |
| Four Queens | 0.2 | great-circle |
| Horseshoe | 0.3 | great-circle |
| Golden Nugget Las Vegas | 0.3 | great-circle |
| Binion's | 0.3 | great-circle |
| Golden Gate | 0.4 | great-circle |
| Main Street | 0.4 | great-circle |
| Main Street Station | 0.4 | great-circle |
| Stratosphere Tower | 1.7 | great-circle |
| Jerry's Nugget | 1.7 | great-circle |
These are the only pairs this article can measure. If the reader wants the distance from a specific hotel, airport, or neighborhood not listed here, that pair is not one this article can state.
Why road distance differs from the straight line
A great-circle line ignores everything on the ground. Real travel follows streets, and downtown Las Vegas is not laid out as a single straight corridor between every pair of buildings. The Fremont Street Experience itself is a pedestrian mall closed to regular vehicle traffic for part of its length, which forces vehicles onto parallel streets and adds distance that no coordinate-to-coordinate line captures.
Water, terrain, and infrastructure also bend routes. In this part of Nevada the obstacles are mostly urban rather than geographic: one-way streets, block lengths, pedestrian zones, and the need to cross intersections at controlled points. Even two venues that sit 0.2 straight-line miles apart can be several minutes and a longer road distance apart once the actual street grid is followed.
Crossing a state boundary would add another layer, though none of the pairs above require it. The general principle holds everywhere: a straight-line figure is a floor, never a ceiling, and it says nothing about how a car, bus, or pedestrian moves between two points.
Where this sits within the region
Las Vegas is in southern Nevada, and the documented city coordinates place the reference point at 36.16916667 north latitude and -115.14055556 west longitude. The D Las Vegas sits essentially on top of that reference point, which is why the straight-line distance is only 0.1 miles. The surrounding documented venues cluster tightly: Four Queens, Horseshoe, Golden Nugget, Binion's, and Golden Gate all fall within four-tenths of a straight-line mile, which reflects the dense downtown core rather than the wider Las Vegas Valley.
Stratosphere Tower and Jerry's Nugget sit farther out at 1.7 straight-line miles each, still close in absolute terms but measurably separated from the Fremont Street cluster. The relative position of every venue is fixed; what changes is where the reader starts from.
If the question is about your location
When a query asks how far something is from "me" or "my location," the starting point does not exist in any fixed document. The venue's position is fixed and documented; the reader's position is not. The correct way to use this article is to take the venue's coordinates as the destination, then measure from your own documented starting point using any standard mapping tool.
The reader's own device or map service can compute a road route from wherever they are, because it knows their actual position. This article cannot, and will not guess a city or assume a departure point. What it provides is the fixed anchor: the venue's coordinates and its straight-line relationship to the reference points listed above.
What to confirm before you go
Table minimums are the most changeable item in any casino, and no published figure should be treated as current. The two-dollar blackjack question can only be answered by the property itself on the day of the visit, because floor managers raise and lower minimums based on demand, time of day, and event traffic.
Before traveling, confirm the current table minimum through the venue's own published channels: the property's website, its player services desk, or a direct inquiry at the table games area. Also confirm whether the property is operating under any temporary floor reconfiguration, since table counts and placements shift during renovations. Ownership and branding also change through sales and rebrands, so verify the current operating name before relying on older references.
FAQ
Are there any two-dollar blackjack tables in Las Vegas right now?
No fixed document can answer that. Table minimums are set by floor managers and change by shift, day, and property. A two-dollar minimum that exists on a Tuesday morning may be gone by Friday evening. The only reliable source is the property's own table games desk on the day you plan to visit.
How far apart are the downtown Las Vegas casinos?
The documented straight-line distances cluster tightly. Four Queens is 0.2 great-circle miles from the Las Vegas reference point, while Horseshoe, Golden Nugget, and Binion's are each 0.3. Golden Gate and the Main Street properties are 0.4. Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage.
Why can't you tell me the driving distance to a casino?
Because road distance depends on the route, the starting point, and current traffic conditions, none of which are fixed. A straight-line figure is a geometric fact between two coordinate pairs. A driving figure is a calculation that requires a specific origin and a routing engine, and this article does not perform that calculation.
