The fixed place this article can identify
The keyword names one Hollywood Casino property, but the location data available here points to Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Its documented coordinates are 40.39666667, -76.65861111, placing the venue at a fixed point in Pennsylvania rather than at a movable “near me” position.
That distinction matters for distance questions. A venue has one documented location, while the reader's starting point can be anywhere, so this article can only report the straight-line pairs that have been publicly published for this specific fixed point.
Documented straight-line distances from the venue
Every figure below is a great-circle measurement from the Grantville venue coordinates to a named reference point in the published reference list. Great-circle distance is the same idea as straight-line or “as the crow flies” distance; it is not a road route and should not be read as a driving figure.

Why straight-line distance and real travel distance differ
A great-circle line ignores the way people and vehicles must move across the ground. It does not follow a road network, does not account for detours around water, and does not reflect how terrain or built infrastructure can force a route to bend away from the shortest geometric line.
State borders can matter too, not because the straight-line figure changes, but because real routes may cross or avoid state lines depending on where bridges, urban connections, and available roads are. That is why the published caveat matters: these are great-circle distances, not driving miles, and driving is always longer.
Where the venue sits within Pennsylvania
The documented location is Grantville, Pennsylvania. Using the published coordinates alone, the venue sits in the Northern Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere, and within the state named in the public reference sources.
The source text also identifies the property as Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Publicly published reference sources further tie the venue to a documented opening date of August 30, 1972, and identify ownership as Gaming and Leisure Properties with operation by Penn Entertainment; figures like ownership wording and facility counts can change over time as properties are sold, rebuilt, or reconfigured.
What the venue data says about the property itself
Beyond location, the published reference sources attach several fixed descriptive fields to this venue. They list 2,480 slot machines, note that table games began operation on July 13, 2010, and give the opening date of the track as August 30, 1972.
Those are historical or point-in-time descriptors, not a live operational snapshot. For a geography article, they help identify that the place is the Grantville property rather than another casino using the Hollywood name.
If your real question is “how far is it from me?”
Your location is not fixed in this article, so it cannot be guessed. What can be fixed is the venue position: Grantville, Pennsylvania at 40.39666667, -76.65861111.
To measure from your own starting point, compare your city or landmark against the documented table above if it appears there. If your exact starting point is not one of the listed reference pairs, this article cannot measure that segment and should not invent a substitute; the safe next step is to use a map tool that accepts your live origin and then distinguish its road route from the straight-line figures shown here.
What to confirm before you go
Before setting out, confirm the changeable items that a fixed-location article cannot responsibly freeze in place. That includes current access arrangements, parking setup, on-site amenities, event schedules, hotel availability if relevant to your trip, and any live operating information.
The authoritative current answer for those items sits with the venue's own official channels, such as its location page, contact page, booking page, or guest services desk. If you are comparing this property with another Hollywood-branded venue, confirm the city and state first so you do not plan around the wrong property name.
FAQ
Is this article about Hollywood Casino Gulf Coast in Mississippi?
No. The location data available here identifies Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania, with coordinates 40.39666667, -76.65861111. Because casino brands can be reused across different properties, the safest way to avoid confusion is to verify the city and state before relying on any distance figure.
Can I use these mile figures as driving distance?
No. Every mileage figure in this article is labelled as straight-line or great-circle distance. Publicly published reference sources explicitly note that driving is always longer, and this article does not publish road mileage or travel time because those depend on the route actually available on the day you travel.
What if the place I want to measure from is not in the table?
Then this article cannot measure that pair. It can only report the named reference points that appear in the published distance list for the Grantville venue. Use the fixed venue coordinates and the city/state identification to check your own origin in a mapping tool, keeping road distance separate from the straight-line figures listed here.
