The venue's fixed position

The place described by the published reference sources is Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Its documented coordinates are 40.39666667 latitude and -76.65861111 longitude, which gives you a fixed point on the map even when branding, ownership wording, or nearby reference points change over time.

That fixed position matters because the keyword asks for a different branded venue name, but the documented venue here is not a Las Vegas property. This article therefore answers the part that can be answered reliably: where this documented Pennsylvania venue sits, and how far it is in straight-line terms from the reference points that have published measurements.

Documented straight-line distances

These figures are useful for orientation, not for route planning. A great-circle line is the shortest path over the earth's surface between two coordinates, so it ignores the way real travel has to follow roads, bridges, border crossings, and the available street network.

Why straight-line and road distance diverge

The difference starts with geometry. A straight line connects two coordinates directly, while a road journey bends around terrain, water, developed land patterns, and the shape of the road grid.

State boundaries can also matter even when the straight-line figure looks compact on a map. Crossing from one state into another may require using the road links that exist rather than the direction the map line suggests, which is why straight-line miles should never be read as driving miles.

Water bodies and river crossings are another common source of divergence. Two places can be close in straight-line terms but still require a longer overland path because bridges and crossing points are limited.

Where Grantville sits in regional terms

The venue is documented in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Using the published coordinates, it sits in the Northern Hemisphere and west of the prime meridian, which places it in the northwestern half of the world map and within Pennsylvania in the eastern United States.

The published location source also describes the venue as being in Grantville, Pennsylvania. For a reader trying to place it regionally, the most dependable statement is simply that this is a Pennsylvania venue, not a Nevada one, and that the fixed coordinates are the anchor point for any further map measurement you do yourself.

Facility facts tied to this location

Publicly published reference sources describe this site as Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course. The same source set ties the property to an opening date of August 30, 1972.

Facility figures in public reference sources describe a documented snapshot rather than a live count. In that snapshot, the casino had over 2,480 slot machines, and table games began operation on July 13, 2010.

Ownership wording also belongs to a point in time. The published ownership statement says it is owned by Gaming and Leisure Properties and operated by Penn Entertainment.

What this article can and cannot answer for this keyword

The keyword names Planet Hollywood Casino Las Vegas, but the documented venue available here is Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Because of that mismatch, this article cannot measure the distance to or from the Las Vegas venue named in the keyword unless that exact venue and its coordinate pairs are separately documented.

What it can do is give you the fixed Pennsylvania coordinates and every published straight-line pair attached to that point. If you were trying to answer a personal "from here" or "near me" question, your location is the part that changes, so the reliable method is to compare your own map position against the venue coordinates 40.39666667, -76.65861111 in any mapping tool that can read latitude and longitude.

What to confirm before you go

Before any trip, confirm the live details that change faster than location data. That includes the venue's current branding, current operating entity, current hours, parking arrangements, hotel availability, event access rules, and any on-site amenity details.

The authoritative current answer for those items is the property's own official contact and visitor channels, such as its location page, booking page, event page, or guest services contact page. Public reference sources are useful for fixed geography and historical facility facts, but travel decisions should be checked against the venue's own current information immediately before departure.

FAQ

Is this article about the Las Vegas Planet Hollywood property?

No. The documented venue here is Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Because the named Las Vegas property is not the venue described by the published reference sources used for this article, the piece focuses on the Pennsylvania venue's fixed coordinates and its documented straight-line distances to listed reference points.

Can I use these mileage figures to estimate a drive?

No. Every mileage figure in this article is labelled as straight-line or great-circle distance. Real road travel is always longer because roads do not follow a perfect line between coordinates and may have to detour around terrain, water, urban layouts, and state-to-state crossing patterns. This article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

How do I measure the distance from my own location?

Use the venue coordinates rather than trying to infer a route from a branded keyword. The documented point is 40.39666667, -76.65861111 in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Enter that latitude and longitude into a map tool that supports coordinate search, then compare it with your own starting point to get either a straight-line reading or a route generated by the map service you choose.
