Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

For this keyword, the place in view is the Diamond Jo property in Worth County, Iowa, not the separate Diamond Jo property in Dubuque. Publicly published reference sources identify this venue at coordinates 43.446781, -93.354542, with a documented opening date of April 6, 2006 and documented ownership by Boyd Gaming as of those sources.

Where this venue is fixed

The venue sits in Worth County in the state of Iowa. Its documented coordinates place it in the northern part of Iowa, because the latitude is 43.446781 north, and in the western hemisphere, because the longitude is -93.354542.

That fixed position is the useful starting point for any distance question. The venue stays where it is; what changes is the reader's starting point, the roads chosen, and whether a route has to bend around local road patterns, state lines, or other obstacles.

Documented straight-line distances

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

How to read these miles correctly

A straight-line figure is useful for orientation, not for route planning. It tells you the shortest geometric separation between the venue's coordinates and the reference point's coordinates, which is why it works well for comparing broad regional position.

It does not tell you what you will drive. Real trips follow the road network, which bends for local street layouts, land ownership, bridges, water crossings, limited access points, and the need to connect one state network to another. Even when two places look close on a map, the practical route can stretch well beyond the great-circle line.

Terrain and settlement patterns also matter. A straight line can cross farmland, rivers, built-up areas, or land where no direct public road exists, while an actual trip must use the roads available. That is why publicly published reference sources pair these figures with the caveat that they are great-circle distances, not driving miles.

What the venue's position tells you regionally

Because the venue is in Worth County, Iowa, and its latitude is 43.446781, it sits well into the northern part of the state. The longitude of -93.354542 places it in the interior of the continental United States rather than on either coast.

The published distance matrix also helps show that regional position. Minneapolis is listed at 106.2 straight-line miles, Milwaukee at 273.3, Kansas City at 307.0, Chicago at 310.3, and St Louis at 371.4. Those pairings place the venue in an Upper Midwest context, even though this article does not convert that into road mileage or travel time.

Facility facts that belong to this specific Diamond Jo

The keyword is broad, but the documented venue here is Diamond Jo in Worth County, Iowa. That distinction matters because public references note that the Diamond Jo name also matches a separate documented property in Dubuque, and figures for one should not be carried over to the other.

For the Worth County property, publicly published reference sources document 793 slot machines and 22 table games. The same sources document that the property opened on April 6, 2006 and identify Boyd Gaming as owner and operator at that point in time; ownership and property details can change as venues are expanded, sold, or rebranded.

What to confirm before you go

If you are using this article to decide how to reach the venue, confirm the live items in the venue's own current channels before you leave. The most important checks are the exact map pin you intend to navigate to, current access arrangements, parking setup, hotel availability if relevant to your trip, and any venue-specific arrival instructions published by the property itself.

Also confirm that you are looking at the Worth County, Iowa property rather than the separate Diamond Jo in Dubuque. Name overlap is a common source of confusion, especially when search results, map apps, or older directory listings surface more than one property under a similar brand name.

If you want to measure from your own starting point, use the venue coordinates 43.446781, -93.354542 in your preferred map tool. That will let you compare your own origin against the fixed venue position, which this article can describe, even though it does not publish road mileage or travel time.

FAQ

How far is Diamond Jo Casino from my location?

This article cannot measure from “my location” because your starting point is not fixed here. What it can give you is the venue's documented position in Worth County, Iowa, at coordinates 43.446781, -93.354542, plus published straight-line comparisons to many reference places. Use those coordinates in your own map tool to measure from wherever you are.

Are the miles in this article driving miles?

No. Every mileage figure here is identified as straight-line or great-circle distance. That means the measurement is between coordinates, not along roads. Real road mileage is always longer, sometimes substantially so, because routes must follow the available network and may need to bend around water, local access limits, or state-to-state routing patterns.

Which Diamond Jo does this article refer to?

It refers to the Diamond Jo property in Worth County, Iowa. That matters because publicly published reference sources also note a separate Diamond Jo property in Dubuque. When checking maps, bookings, or venue details, confirm you are looking at the Worth County location so you do not attach the wrong property facts to the wrong place.
