Ocean Casino Atlantic City: Fixed Location and Documented Straight-Line Distances

From Ocean Casino in Atlantic City, the documented straight-line distance is 95.8 miles to NYC, 143.0 miles to Washington DC, 56.8 miles to Rehoboth Beach Delaware, and 0.2 miles to Showboat, all measured as straight-line. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The fixed position of the venue

The venue identified here as Ocean Casino Resort is in Atlantic City, New Jersey, at documented coordinates 39.36175, -74.41349722. For a reader trying to place it geographically, that means the venue has a fixed point on the map even though each visitor's starting point is different.

This article is about that fixed position. It can show the venue's documented city, state, coordinates, and the straight-line distances that have been publicly published for specific reference points, but it cannot turn those into road miles or journey times.

Documented straight-line distances

The table below lists every injected reference pair available for this venue. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, which means a straight-line map distance rather than a road route.

Why straight-line distance and real travel differ

Straight-line distance is the shortest path between two coordinates on the earth's surface. It is useful for orientation and comparison, because every reference point is measured the same way.

Real travel is different because roads do not run as straight lines between coordinates. Water crossings, the shape of the coastline, local street patterns, detours around built-up areas, and route choices across state lines all make the practical route longer than the great-circle figure.

That difference matters especially for a coastal city location. A venue can be quite close in straight-line terms to another place across water or across an irregular urban street grid, while the usable road route still has to bend around those obstacles.

How to read the venue's regional position

Ocean Casino Resort sits in Atlantic City in the state of New Jersey. Using the documented coordinates alone, the venue is in the eastern United States, and its longitude places it well east of inland reference points such as Chicago at 713.7 straight-line miles, Topeka Kansas at 1137.1 straight-line miles, and San Antonio at 1528.4 straight-line miles.

The same coordinates also show that nearby northeastern and Mid-Atlantic reference points are much closer in straight-line terms. Examples from the published set include Manhattan at 95.8 miles straight-line, Washington DC at 143.0 miles straight-line, Foxwoods at 194.9 miles straight-line, Syracuse at 270.0 miles straight-line, and Toronto at 392.2 miles straight-line.

For very nearby orientation, the published set includes Showboat at 0.2 miles straight-line, Parx at 59.6 miles straight-line, Harrington at 69.5 miles straight-line, and Wind Creek at 100.0 miles straight-line. Those figures still should not be read as road mileage, but they do show relative spatial closeness within the documented comparison set.

Facility scale at the documented point in time

Publicly published reference sources describe this Atlantic City venue with 130,000 square feet of gaming space, more than 2,500 slot machines, 120 table games, and 1,900 hotel rooms. Those figures describe a documented point in time rather than a guaranteed current inventory, because casino properties can be rebuilt, reconfigured, or rebranded.

The published opening date in the source material is April 2, 2012. If you are using this article to place the venue within Atlantic City rather than to plan gaming activity, the more important point is that the location is fixed while the operational details of a large resort can change over time.

How to use this article if your own starting point is different

The keyword here is a venue name, not a personal starting point, so this article stays anchored to the venue's fixed location. If your real question is how far the venue is from where you are, use the coordinates 39.36175, -74.41349722 in your own map tool and compare that with your own starting coordinates.

When you do that, keep the measurement types separate. A map can show you a straight-line measurement for orientation and a road route for practical travel, but this article only publishes the documented straight-line pairs listed above.

If the place you care about is not one of the named reference points in the table, this article cannot measure that specific pair. In that case, the safest approach is to use the venue coordinates and your own origin in a mapping tool rather than trying to infer a distance from some other city in the list.

What to confirm before you go

Before spending money on a trip, confirm the changeable details on the venue's own official channels. The items most likely to change are parking arrangements, hotel availability, event access rules, amenity access, and any property-specific entry procedures.

If you need a practical route, confirm it on a current map service rather than relying on a straight-line figure. If you need to know whether a hotel room, restaurant, event, or other facility is available on a particular date, the authoritative answer is the property's own booking page, event page, or guest-services contact channel.

It is also worth checking whether the venue name, branding, or ownership presentation has changed since the published reference figures were recorded. Large casino resorts can keep the same physical site while changing branding, internal layout, or how amenities are presented to the public.
