Buffalo Bill's Resort & Casino: Fixed Location and Straight-Line Distance Guide

Buffalo Bill's Resort & Casino sits 40.7 miles from Las Vegas in straight-line distance. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

Where the venue is fixed

If you are trying to place this venue on a map, the fixed point is Primm, Nevada. Publicly published reference sources place Buffalo Bill's at coordinates 35.614945, -115.384504, so the venue's position is a stable geographic fact even when branding, operations, or property details change over time.

Those coordinates place it in southern Nevada. From the coordinate values alone, you can read that it lies north of the equator and west of the prime meridian, which is the basic geographic frame behind every distance figure in this article.

The venue is also documented as Buffalo Bill's, with publicly published reference sources listing May 14, 1994 as its opening date and JETT Gaming as owner in the cited material. Facility figures in those same sources describe a documented point in time rather than a live current status, which matters because casino properties can be rebuilt, reconfigured, sold, or rebranded.

Documented straight-line distances

The table below lists every injected reference pair available for this venue. Every figure is a great-circle measurement, meaning a straight-line calculation between fixed points on the earth rather than a route you would follow on roads.

How to read these numbers correctly

A straight-line figure is useful for orientation, not for route planning. It tells you how far apart two fixed points are in geometric terms, which makes it good for comparing relative position across many cities without the distortions created by different road layouts.

That same strength is also the limit. A road trip has to follow the transport network that exists, so the real route bends around terrain, property boundaries, protected land, urban street patterns, state-line transitions, and any water crossings or mountain barriers between origin and destination.

Even in open desert regions, roads do not run as a perfect line from one coordinate pair to another. Junction design, access roads, and the need to connect with existing corridors all add distance, which is why publicly published reference sources include the caveat that driving is always longer than the great-circle number.

For that reason, this article does not convert any straight-line figure into a road estimate. It also does not publish travel time, because time depends on route choice, traffic, weather, stops, border or checkpoint conditions where relevant, and the transport mode you use.

What the location means in regional terms

Because the venue is documented in Primm, Nevada, the clearest regional description is that it is a Nevada property anchored in that community. The coordinate pair places it in the western United States, and the distance table shows its relative position against reference points spread across the West, Midwest, South, Northeast, and Canada.

Some of the shortest documented straight-line pairs in the table are Henderson at 36.6 miles, Bourbon Street at 36.6 miles, Las Vegas at 40.7 miles, and Laughlin at 54.1 miles. Those figures do not tell you which route would be practical, but they do show which listed reference points are geographically closest in the injected matrix.

At the other end of the table, Boston at 2397.9 miles, Lake George at 2260.8 miles, NYC at 2254.2 miles, Manhattan at 2254.2 miles, and Atlantic City at 2241.2 miles illustrate how far the venue sits from northeastern reference points in straight-line terms. Again, these are map distances, not trip plans.

The middle of the table is useful if you are comparing broad regions rather than specific journeys. Denver is listed at 635.3 miles straight-line, Seattle at 901.8, Oklahoma City at 1003.0, Dallas at 1077.8, Chicago at 1549.4, and Miami at 2185.2, which gives a quick sense of how the venue's Nevada location relates to major population centers in different directions.

Facility scale as a place, not a play guide

This article is about the venue as a physical site, so the relevant size markers are the documented property figures rather than game advice or current operations. Publicly published reference sources describe Buffalo Bill's as having 1,700 slot machines and 1,242 guest rooms and suites at the documented points cited.

Those figures help a reader understand that this is not a tiny storefront venue. They indicate a resort-scale property footprint in Primm, although any current configuration should be confirmed directly with the property's own official information channels because room counts, amenity mixes, and floor layouts can change.

The opening date of May 14, 1994 also matters in a place-based article because it places the venue within a specific development period for the local area. Age alone does not tell you present condition, but it does tell you the property has a long operating history in publicly published reference material.

If your starting point is not in the table

The venue's location is fixed, but your location is not. If you arrived with a query framed as from me, from here, or from my location, this article cannot guess your origin point, so the reliable way to use it is to start from the documented coordinates in Primm, Nevada and compare them against the reference points already listed.

If the exact place pair you care about is not one of the injected entries, this article cannot measure that straight-line distance for you. In that case, use the venue coordinates 35.614945, -115.384504 in your own mapping tool, then compare your result against the reference cities in the table so you can sanity-check whether your origin lies closer than Los Angeles at 195.2 miles straight-line, farther than Denver at 635.3, or in another band entirely.

This is also the right approach when a place name has multiple meanings or when a label in the table is unusual. The coordinates remain the anchor, while the table gives you a spread of already documented comparison points without inventing any new pairings.

What to confirm before you go

Before spending money on a trip, confirm the live details that a fixed-location article cannot safely freeze in text. That includes the property's current operating status, available amenities, room inventory, parking arrangements, check-in rules, and any venue-specific access or event restrictions.

The authoritative source for those changeable details is the property's own official channels, such as its booking page, contact page, or guest services information. If you are comparing map distance with an actual journey, use a current mapping service for road mileage and routing, because this article only publishes great-circle figures.

It is also worth confirming ownership and branding if those details matter to your trip planning. Casino properties can change hands, change names, or change how parts of the site are used, so the owner and facility figures cited here should be read as documented reference points rather than a guarantee of present-day configuration.

FAQ

Is Buffalo Bill's Resort & Casino in Las Vegas?

No. Publicly published reference sources place the venue in Primm, Nevada, not in Las Vegas. The documented straight-line distance to Las Vegas is 40.7 miles, which is useful for geographic orientation only. Road mileage is longer than that figure, and this article does not publish driving distance or travel time.

Can this article tell me how far Buffalo Bill's is from my location?

Only if your exact reference point appears in the documented distance table, and many personal starting points will not. When your query is based on me, here, or my location, the reliable anchor is the venue coordinate pair 35.614945, -115.384504. You can enter that fixed point into your own map tool and measure from your actual origin.

Does the distance table show how long the trip will take?

No. Every figure in the table is a great-circle measurement between fixed points, not a route and not a time estimate. Real journeys depend on the road network, detours, terrain, weather, and transport mode. To plan an actual trip, confirm current routing and road mileage through a live mapping service before departure.
