The fixed point here is the venue itself: Ocean Casino Resort, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, at documented coordinates 39.36175, -74.41349722. Publicly published reference sources also describe a documented facility snapshot of 130,000 square feet of gaming space, more than 2,500 slot machines, 120 table games, 1,900 hotel rooms, and an opening date of April 2, 2012; figures like room counts, machine counts, and floor area can change over time as properties are rebuilt or reconfigured.

The venue's fixed position

For a reader trying to place this property on a map, the key fact is that the venue sits in Atlantic City, in the state of New Jersey. The coordinates place it on the eastern side of the United States, and within New Jersey they place it in the state's southeastern part.

That matters because distance questions often mix together three different things: where a venue is physically anchored, how far away another place is in a straight line, and how a real road journey bends around geography. This article only covers the first two where they are documented.

Documented straight-line distances

The table below lists every published reference-point pairing available for this venue. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, which means a straight-line calculation between coordinates rather than a road route.

Why straight-line distance and real travel differ

A straight-line figure is useful because it gives a stable geographic comparison from one fixed coordinate to another. It does not tell you what a road trip looks like, because roads do not move in a perfect line between points.

Several things make real travel longer. Water can force detours, road networks may arc around built-up areas or protected land, state lines can shape where major crossings exist, and local street layouts can add extra approach distance even when two points look close on a map.

That is especially important when a venue sits in a coastal city. A straight-line measurement can pass over water or across areas with no direct road connection, while an actual route has to follow the available network. For that reason, this article keeps the measurement type explicit and does not convert it into driving mileage.

How to read the Atlantic City location

Because the venue is in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the most useful orientation is regional rather than street-by-street. The coordinates place it in southeastern New Jersey and on the eastern side of the country, which helps explain why published straight-line figures to places in the Northeast are much smaller than those to Texas, the Midwest, or the West Coast.

For example, the documented straight-line distance is 95.8 miles to NYC and 143.0 miles to Washington DC, while Chicago is 713.7 miles and Houston is 1359.6 miles straight-line. West Coast reference points are much farther in straight-line terms, such as 2564.6 miles to San Francisco and 2443.0 miles to LAX.

The same table also shows nearby comparison points within the broader region. Rehoboth Beach Delaware is listed at 56.8 straight-line miles, Parx at 59.6, Harrington at 69.5, Wind Creek at 100.0, and Foxwoods at 194.9.

Facility scale at the documented snapshot

Location questions often overlap with scale questions, because a reader wants to know not just where the venue is but what kind of physical complex sits there. Publicly published reference sources describe Ocean Casino Resort with 130,000 square feet of gaming space, more than 2,500 slot machines, 120 table games, and 1,900 hotel rooms.

The documented opening date is April 2, 2012. As with any large resort property, ownership, branding, room inventory, and gaming-floor layout can change over time, so these figures should be read as a documented snapshot rather than a live operational bulletin.

What to confirm before you go

Before making a trip, confirm the changeable details on the venue's own official channels. The items most likely to matter are current access arrangements, parking setup, hotel booking availability, venue amenities, and any property-specific policies that may affect arrival.

If you are trying to turn a straight-line figure into a real journey, use your own mapping tool from your exact starting point. That will account for the route network, water crossings, border effects between states, and any detours that a straight-line measurement cannot show.

If you need a distance to a place not listed in the table above, this article cannot measure that pair. In that case, use the venue's documented coordinates, 39.36175 and -74.41349722, together with your own starting point in a mapping tool or geographic calculator.

FAQ

Is Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey?

Yes. The documented location places Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City in the state of New Jersey. Its published coordinates are 39.36175, -74.41349722, which identify the venue's fixed position for map-based comparison and straight-line distance measurement.

Does the 95.8 miles to NYC figure mean the road trip is 95.8 miles?

No. That figure is explicitly a straight-line, or great-circle, measurement. Road travel is always longer because a real route must follow the available street and highway network and may need to bend around water, development patterns, or state-border crossing points.

Can this article tell me the distance from Ocean Casino Resort to a place not shown in the table?

Only if that exact venue-to-place pair appears in the published reference list. If it is not listed, this article cannot state that distance. What it can give you is the venue's fixed city, state, and coordinates so you can measure from your own chosen starting point using a mapping tool.
