The venue's fixed position

Circus Circus Las Vegas is documented in Winchester, Nevada, at latitude 36.13694444 and longitude -115.16333333. For a reader trying to place it on the map, the useful point is that the venue's position is fixed even when your own starting point is not.

The same public reference sources describe it as being on the northern Las Vegas Strip in Winchester, Nevada. Ownership and facility figures can change over time, but the location statement and coordinates give a stable geographic anchor for understanding where the property sits.

Documented venue facts tied to place

Publicly published reference sources describe Circus Circus Las Vegas as opening on October 18, 1968. The same source trail states that it is owned and operated by Phil Ruffin.

For scale, the documented facility figures available here are 686 slot machines and 409 hotel rooms. Those figures describe a documented point in time rather than a live operational snapshot, which matters because casino properties are rebuilt, reconfigured, and rebranded over time.

All documented straight-line pairs

Why straight-line and road distance are different

A straight-line figure is a map measurement between two coordinate points. It is useful for geographic orientation because it shows how far apart places are in pure spatial terms, without pretending to describe the route a person will really take.

Actual road distance is longer because roads do not move in a perfect line between coordinates. Route networks bend around developed land, terrain, water, access restrictions, and the practical layout of streets and regional connections.

Cross-state travel can add more detours because the usable road network may not follow the shortest geometric line. Even within the same metro area, a straight-line figure can look small while the real route is shaped by the street pattern and where legal access points exist.

How to read the venue's regional position

The venue is in Winchester, in the state of Nevada. Its documented coordinates place it in the southern part of Nevada, and the location source places it on the northern Las Vegas Strip.

The distance table helps show its regional relationship to multiple reference points without inventing a route. Nearby documented reference points include Las Vegas at 2.6 straight-line miles and Henderson at 12.3 straight-line miles, while longer-range reference points extend across the western, central, and eastern parts of the United States and into Canada.

Because the article is about a fixed place, this is the safest way to use the data: start with the venue's coordinates, then compare them with the documented city pairs that are already measured. If the place you care about is not listed in the table, this article cannot measure that pair and should not guess.

What to confirm before you go

Before traveling, confirm the items that can change and are not part of this location note. That includes current operating status, hotel availability, parking arrangements, venue access points, and any live amenity details.

The authoritative current answer for those items is the property's own official information channels, such as its booking page, contact page, and guest-services information. If you are comparing map distance with a real route, use your own mapping tool from your exact starting point and check the road mileage there rather than treating any straight-line number as a driving figure.

FAQ

Is Circus Circus Las Vegas in Las Vegas or Winchester?

The location source used here places Circus Circus Las Vegas in Winchester, Nevada, and also describes it as being on the northern Las Vegas Strip. Those two descriptions are not contradictory in a location article: one is the documented jurisdictional place name, and the other is the broader area readers commonly use to orient themselves.

Can this article tell me how far the venue is from my location?

Only if your starting point appears in the documented straight-line list above. If it does not, this article cannot measure that pair. The fixed point you can rely on is the venue coordinate position at 36.13694444, -115.16333333; from there, your own map tool can measure from your exact starting point without guesswork.

Do the room and slot machine counts describe the venue today?

Not necessarily. The documented figures here are 409 hotel rooms and 686 slot machines, drawn from publicly published reference sources that describe a specific point in the property's history. Facility counts, ownership structures, and branding can change, so use these as historical scale markers rather than as a live inventory.
