16.5 miles straight-line is the nearest documented venue-to-Buffalo figure in the published reference set, for Seneca in Niagara Falls, New York, and the same 16.5-mile straight-line figure also appears for Seneca Niagara. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
For Buffalo Creek Casino specifically, this article cannot give a venue-to-place distance because no venue row for that property appears in the published reference sources used here. What it can do is anchor Buffalo itself at documented coordinates and show the nearby venue pairs that are documented from Buffalo, so you can place the area correctly before checking the operator's own location page for the exact property.
Fixed position first: Buffalo is documented, your starting point may not be
The fixed point available here is Buffalo, New York, documented at latitude 42.88638889 and longitude -78.87805556. The keyword names Buffalo Creek Casino, but this record set does not include a matching venue entry for that property, so the article cannot honestly state its coordinates, opening date, owner, floor area, or any direct distance pair for it.
That matters because distance questions only stay reliable when both ends of the measurement are documented. If one end is missing, the safe way to answer is to show the place that is documented, then list the venue pairs that have been measured to that place without inventing a substitute.

Every figure in the table is a great-circle measurement to Buffalo, not a road route. That distinction is the core of the article: a straight line is a map geometry fact, while an actual trip depends on the transport network available on the day you travel.
Why straight-line distance and real travel differ
Straight-line distance draws the shortest path between two coordinate points across the earth's surface. Real journeys almost never follow that line, because roads, bridges, border crossings, street grids, and one-way systems force detours that geometry does not care about.
In the Buffalo and Niagara region, water is an obvious reason the real route can diverge from the straight line. A line on a map can cross rivers or other water directly, while a vehicle has to use whatever crossings and approach roads exist.
Road network shape matters too. Even where two places are close as the crow flies, the route available to a driver may bend around urban blocks, industrial land, rail corridors, or limited-access segments that do not line up with the direct bearing.
Cross-border movement can also lengthen the practical trip compared with a pure geometric line. Several of the documented Buffalo pairs point to Niagara Falls, Ontario, so the straight-line figure tells you regional closeness, not the path a real trip must take.
Where Buffalo sits in this regional picture
Using the documented coordinates, Buffalo is in New York. The nearest documented venue pairs in this set place several casino properties in the Niagara Falls area, both in New York and in Ontario, at straight-line distances in the mid-to-high teens from Buffalo.
The coordinates also support a simple directional reading. The Niagara Falls venues listed here sit west of Buffalo by longitude and slightly north of Buffalo by latitude, so they are to the northwest of Buffalo in regional terms.
Batavia Downs, by contrast, is in Batavia, New York, and its documented straight-line distance from Buffalo is 35.1 miles. Its longitude is less far west than Buffalo's and its latitude is slightly higher, which places it generally to the east-northeast of Buffalo.
Because the keyword is Buffalo Creek Casino, the important caution is that none of those directional statements identifies that specific property. They only describe Buffalo's position relative to the venues that are explicitly documented in the reference set.
What this article can and cannot tell you about Buffalo Creek Casino
It can tell you that Buffalo itself is fixed at documented coordinates and that the surrounding region includes measured straight-line pairs from Buffalo to multiple nearby venues. It cannot tell you the straight-line distance from Buffalo Creek Casino to Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Batavia, or any other reference point, because that exact property is not present as a measured venue entry here.
It also cannot safely substitute another property just because the word Buffalo appears in the keyword. Publicly published reference sources sometimes use overlapping brand words for different casino properties, and naming the wrong one would turn a location article into a misidentification.
If your real need is to find the exact site of Buffalo Creek Casino, the authoritative current answer is the property's own official location or contact page. That is also the right place to confirm parking arrangements, entrance details, and any on-site wayfinding that a static geography article should not guess.
How to use these figures if your own starting point is different
Your position is not fixed in this article, so a “from me” measurement cannot be resolved here. The practical method is simple: first confirm the exact coordinates or map pin for Buffalo Creek Casino on the property's own page, then compare that with your own starting point in a mapping tool that can calculate both straight-line and route distance.
The Buffalo-based table still helps because it tells you the regional scale. If you are comparing Buffalo with Niagara Falls or Batavia as anchors, the documented great-circle figures show which clusters are geographically close to Buffalo before you move on to live route planning.
What to confirm before you go
Before travelling, confirm the exact property identity, the current map pin, parking access, border-document requirements if your route crosses into Canada, and any venue-specific arrival instructions. Those items change or depend on your route, and the current answer belongs on the property's own official pages and, where relevant, the relevant border and transport authorities.
Also confirm any live details this article does not publish: opening hours, temporary closures, event traffic, room availability, food service, and fees of any kind. Those are all changeable and should be checked through the venue's own official channels rather than inferred from a location explainer.
FAQ
How far is Buffalo Creek Casino from downtown Buffalo?
This article cannot measure that pair because Buffalo Creek Casino does not appear as a documented venue entry in the reference sources used here. What is documented is Buffalo's position and a set of straight-line distances from Buffalo to other named venues. For the exact Buffalo Creek Casino location, check the property's own official map or contact page.
Are the Buffalo distances in this article driving miles?
No. Every mileage figure here is labelled as straight-line or great-circle distance. That means the measurement is geometric, not a road route. Real driving distance is always longer, sometimes substantially so, because roads must follow available crossings, street layouts, and any border or network constraints that the straight-line figure ignores.
Which documented venues are closest to Buffalo in this set?
The nearest documented Buffalo pairs in this set are Seneca and Seneca Niagara at 16.5 miles straight-line, followed by Fallsview at 17.0 miles straight-line and Casino Niagara at 17.2 miles straight-line. Those figures describe regional proximity to Buffalo only; they do not identify Buffalo Creek Casino or replace a current property map.
