The Fixed Geography Behind the Question
The venue set documented for this article places the closest casino property, D Las Vegas, 0.1 miles from the Las Vegas city center as a straight-line measurement. That figure is a great-circle distance, not a road distance. Road travel is always longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any pair.
The question of whether video blackjack machines exist on a given floor cannot be answered from the facility counts supplied here. Slot machine totals are documented for two downtown properties, but those totals do not break out individual game titles or cabinet types. A reader who wants to know whether a specific casino currently offers video blackjack must check that property's own gaming floor listing or ask its guest services desk, because machine mixes change as floors are reconfigured.
The Venue's Fixed Position and the Reference Points Around It
All distances below are straight-line measurements between documented coordinates. They describe where the venues sit relative to the Las Vegas city center, not how anyone drives between them. The table includes every venue-to-city pair present in the documented set.
| Reference point | Straight-line miles | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| D Las Vegas | 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 |
The documented set measures 318 venues to this city, so the ten rows above are a small slice of the total. The set is not a census of every casino in Las Vegas, and no total casino count for the city is stated here. The Nevada Gaming Control Board publishes the complete current list of licensed locations for anyone who needs it.
Why Straight-Line Distance Understates a Real Trip
A great-circle figure is the shortest path across the surface of the earth between two coordinate points. It ignores everything that shapes movement through a city: the street grid, one-way systems, pedestrian malls, freeway access points, and the need to park or walk from a drop-off area. Downtown Las Vegas concentrates several of these venues within a few tenths of a straight-line mile of each other, but that tight clustering does not mean the walk or drive between any two of them is that short.
Water, terrain, and jurisdictional boundaries add more deviation. The Las Vegas Valley is a basin with mountain ranges on its flanks, and the urban core is crossed by rail corridors and freeway structures that force indirect routes. Crossing a municipal or county boundary can also change the available road pattern, though the venues in the table above all sit within the same downtown cluster. None of these factors is captured in a straight-line number.
What the Documented Facility Counts Do and Do Not Say
Two downtown properties carry documented slot machine totals. D Las Vegas is recorded with 1,000 slot machines and 22 table games. Four Queens is recorded with 105 slot machines, a figure tied to a 1972 arcade expansion rather than the property's current floor. These counts are snapshots from publicly published reference sources and are revised as properties rebuild or reconfigure their gaming floors.
A slot machine total does not identify which game titles sit on the floor. Video blackjack is one cabinet type among many, and a property with a thousand machines may or may not have any of them. The same is true of table games: 22 table games at D Las Vegas tells a reader nothing about whether any electronic blackjack terminal is installed alongside them. The only way to confirm current availability is to consult the property's own published floor listing or contact its gaming staff before traveling.
How to Measure From Your Own Starting Point
If the query behind this article comes from a reader asking about "me" or "my location," the venue's position is fixed and the reader's is not. No article can measure a distance from an unknown starting point. What a reader can do is take the venue's documented coordinates and run a straight-line measurement from their own address using any mapping tool, then understand that the result will still be shorter than the road trip.
The coordinates for D Las Vegas are 36.16972222 north latitude and -115.14277778 west longitude. Four Queens sits at 36.16972222 north and -115.14361111 west. Golden Nugget Las Vegas is at 36.17083333 north and -115.14472222 west. These three points are within a few hundred feet of each other on the ground, which is why their straight-line distances to the city center are so similar.
What to Confirm Before You Go
Machine availability changes without notice. A bank of video blackjack terminals can be moved, removed, or replaced during a floor remodel, and no static article can keep up with that. The authoritative current answer lives on the property's own gaming floor page, its mobile app if it has one, or a direct call to its guest services desk.
Confirm three things before making a trip specifically for video blackjack: whether the property currently lists the game, whether the machines are on the main floor or in a separate high-limit or non-smoking area, and whether the property has any age or player-card requirement for that section. Also confirm the property's current operating status, because downtown venues adjust hours and access patterns during events or construction.
FAQ
Does the documented slot count tell me if video blackjack is on the floor?
No. The documented slot machine totals for D Las Vegas and Four Queens are aggregate counts, not game-title lists. A total of 1,000 or 105 machines does not identify which cabinet types are installed. Video blackjack availability must be confirmed through the property's own current floor listing or guest services.
How far is the closest documented venue from the Las Vegas city center?
D Las Vegas is 0.1 straight-line miles from the Las Vegas city center, measured as a great-circle distance between documented coordinates. Road distance is longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time. Four Queens is 0.2 straight-line miles, and several other downtown properties sit at 0.3 to 0.4 straight-line miles.
Can this article tell me the road distance between two Las Vegas casinos?
No. The only distances documented here are straight-line measurements between each venue and the Las Vegas city center. No venue-to-venue pairs are supplied, and no road mileage exists in this article. A mapping tool can produce a road route, but that figure is outside the scope of what is documented here.
