Baton Rouge casino location and straight-line distances

For a Baton Rouge casino, the documented venue covered here sits 73.8 miles from New Orleans in straight-line distance, 121.8 miles from Lake Charles in straight-line distance, and 207.5 miles from Shreveport in straight-line distance. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The fixed place in question is Bally's Baton Rouge in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Publicly published reference sources describe it at Catfish Town, a historic warehouse district that was redeveloped, and list coordinates of 30.4425, -91.1895; figures such as room counts, gaming floor area, and ownership can change over time as properties are rebuilt, expanded, sold, or rebranded.

Where the venue is

This venue is in Baton Rouge in the state of Louisiana. Its documented coordinates place it in the western hemisphere and north of the equator, which is enough to anchor every distance in the table below without guessing at roads, routes, or local approach directions.

The location note ties the property to Catfish Town, described in published reference material as a historic warehouse district that was redeveloped. For a reader trying to place the venue geographically, that is more useful than a turn-by-turn description because it identifies both the city and the immediate district context without inventing street-level details.

Documented venue facts

Published reference sources describe the property as having 28,500 square feet of gaming space, 350 slot machines, 10 table games, and 288 hotel rooms. The same source set gives an opening date of September 30, 1994 and names Gaming and Leisure Properties as owner.

Those figures describe a documented point in time rather than a live operational snapshot. Casino properties change, so readers should treat these as structural reference points for understanding the size and type of venue rather than as a promise of what is on the floor today.

Straight-line distance table

How to read those mileage figures

Every mileage figure above is a great-circle measurement. That means it is the shortest path over the earth's surface between two coordinate points, not the path a driver, bus, or delivery route would follow on the ground.

Real-world travel is longer because roads bend around rivers, industrial land, neighborhoods, bridges, protected areas, and one-way street patterns. Longer regional trips can also be affected by the shape of the road network, the need to cross state lines at practical crossing points, and detours created by water bodies or limited bridge access.

That difference matters most when readers try to convert a straight-line number into a trip plan. You can use a great-circle figure to understand relative position and broad regional spacing, but not to estimate what a car odometer or navigation app will show.

Regional position within Louisiana and beyond

Because the venue is documented in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the most reliable regional statement is that it is fixed in that Louisiana city rather than somewhere else in the state. The coordinate pair also lets a reader compare it consistently with the listed reference points without needing any unstated route assumptions.

The distance set shows the venue much closer in straight-line terms to New Orleans at 73.8 miles, Lake Charles at 121.8 miles, Biloxi at 134.8 miles, and Houston at 254.1 miles than to far-west or far-north reference points such as Seattle at 2027.3 miles or Portland at 1987.5 miles. That is a geographic spacing observation only, not a transport guide.

What the physical scale tells you

If your goal is to understand the place rather than the games, the documented facility figures are the useful anchor. A venue with 28,500 square feet of gaming space, 350 slot machines, 10 table games, and 288 hotel rooms is a defined on-site destination rather than a tiny room with only a handful of devices.

The opening date of September 30, 1994 also matters for context because it places the property within a long-running Baton Rouge casino presence. Ownership is listed as Gaming and Leisure Properties, while the published source sentence also notes operation by Bally's Corporation; ownership and operation are not always the same thing in casino real estate.

What to confirm before you go

This article is about fixed geography, so it does not publish live details such as current opening hours, hotel availability, parking arrangements, restaurant service, or event schedules. Those items change and should be checked through the venue's own official property pages, booking path, or guest-services contact channel before travel.

If you are comparing this Baton Rouge venue with another starting point not listed in the table, this article cannot measure that pair unless a publicly published reference source has documented it. In that case, use the venue's fixed coordinates, 30.4425 and -91.1895, in your own mapping tool and compare the result with the official property information you plan to rely on for the trip.

FAQ

Is this Baton Rouge casino the one in downtown Baton Rouge?

The published location note places Bally's Baton Rouge at Catfish Town, described as a historic warehouse district that was redeveloped. This article can confirm the city, state, district reference, and coordinates, but not give street-by-street downtown routing or current neighborhood access details.

Can I use the mileage table to estimate my drive?

No. The table is made up entirely of straight-line, great-circle distances, and road travel is always longer. Real trips depend on the available road network, crossings over water, local street layout, and other route constraints, so this article does not convert those figures into driving miles or time.

How big is the venue compared with other casinos?

This article does not rank venues, but it can state the documented figures for this property: 28,500 square feet of gaming space, 350 slot machines, 10 table games, and 288 hotel rooms. If you want a side-by-side comparison, use the same published field types for each property rather than impressions or marketing labels.
