The closest documented venue to the Las Vegas city reference point is d las vegas, at 0.1 straight-line miles (great-circle distance). Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any pair.
The question of whether keno is still played in Las Vegas is a question about current table and machine offerings, which change venue by venue and season by season. This article can tell you where the documented downtown venues sit relative to the city center and how to measure distance from your own starting point, but it cannot tell you which games are on a given floor today. The venue's own gaming floor page or a call to its guest services desk is the only source that carries a current keno answer.
The fixed point: Las Vegas city coordinates
Las Vegas is documented at latitude 36.16916667 and longitude -115.14055556. That places the reference point in the downtown area, near the eastern end of the Fremont Street corridor where several of the venues documented in this article sit within a few tenths of a straight-line mile of one another.
The city is in the state of Nevada, in the southwestern United States. Relative to the venues documented here, the city reference point sits slightly west and south of the d las vegas and Four Queens coordinate pair, and slightly south of the Horseshoe and Binion's coordinate pair. These are fixed positions; they do not change with a reader's location.
Documented straight-line distances from the Las Vegas reference point
The table below lists every venue-to-city pair supplied for this article. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, meaning the shortest path over the earth's surface between two coordinate points, not a road route.
| Reference point | Straight-line miles | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| d las vegas | 0.1 | great-circle |
| four queens | 0.2 | great-circle |
| horseshoe | 0.3 | great-circle |
| golden nugget las | 0.3 | great-circle |
| binion's | 0.3 | great-circle |
| golden gate | 0.4 | great-circle |
| main street | 0.4 | great-circle |
| main street station | 0.4 | great-circle |
| stratosphere tower | 1.7 | great-circle |
| jerry's nugget | 1.7 | great-circle |
These ten pairs are the only distances this article can state. A reader who asks about a different venue, or about a different starting city, will not find that pair here.
Why road distance differs from straight-line distance
A straight-line figure ignores everything that sits between two points. Downtown Las Vegas is built on a street grid, but the grid does not run in a perfectly straight line from every coordinate pair, and no vehicle travels as the crow flies.
Several factors push road distance above great-circle distance. The first is the road network itself: streets follow blocks, intersections, and one-way patterns, so a route must bend even when two points are close. The second is built obstruction: buildings, pedestrian malls, and the Fremont Street Experience canopy block direct movement and force routes around them. The third is any water or grade change, though none is documented for these pairs here. The fourth is jurisdictional boundary: none of the documented pairs crosses a state line, but any trip that does adds route length through interchanges and access roads.
None of these factors is quantified in this article. The only honest statement is that road distance is longer, and the reader must measure it from their own origin using a mapping tool.
Where these venues sit relative to one another
The documented coordinates place several venues within the same downtown cluster. d las vegas and Four Queens share nearly identical latitude and sit within a few hundredths of a degree of longitude of each other. Horseshoe and Binion's share the same coordinate pair, at 36.17138889, -115.14444444, which sits slightly north and west of the d las vegas and Four Queens pair.
Golden Nugget Las Vegas sits at 36.17083333, -115.14472222, placing it between those two clusters on latitude and slightly west on longitude. Stratosphere Tower and Jerry's Nugget are the two outliers in the table, each documented at 1.7 straight-line miles from the city reference point, which places them farther from the downtown core than the other eight venues listed.
Ownership and branding of these properties change through sales and rebrands, so a coordinate is more durable than a name. The d las vegas is documented as owned by Derek and Greg Stevens. Four Queens is documented as owned by Elsinore Corporation. Horseshoe and Binion's are documented as owned by TLC Casino Enterprises. Golden Nugget Las Vegas is documented as owned by Landry's. These ownership fields describe a documented point in time, not a current corporate registry.
If your question starts from "me" or "my location"
The venue's position is fixed. Your position is not. This article cannot resolve a starting point that has not been supplied, so it will not guess a city or assume a reader is in any particular place.
What a reader can do is take the venue's documented coordinates and measure from their own origin. Any mapping service accepts a latitude-longitude pair as a destination. Enter the pair, enter your actual starting address, and the service will return a road route, a road distance, and a travel time under current conditions. That measurement belongs to the reader and the mapping service, not to this article.
The straight-line figures above are useful only as a relative comparison: they show which documented venues sit closest to the Las Vegas city reference point. They do not tell anyone how long a drive will take, which route to use, or what traffic will be like.
What to confirm before you go
Three things change and none of them is documented here. First, whether a specific venue currently offers keno, and in what form: a live draw, a video keno machine, or a keno lounge. Second, the hours during which that game operates. Third, any minimum or maximum wager attached to it.
The authoritative channel for all three is the venue's own gaming floor page or its guest services desk. Ask specifically about keno, because a general question about table games may not surface a keno answer. Confirm before travelling, not after arriving.
Facility figures like room counts and machine counts are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded, so any figure from publicly published reference sources carries an as-of caveat. The coordinates in the table above are the most stable facts this article holds.
FAQ
Does this article confirm that keno is still played in Las Vegas?
No. This article documents venue locations and straight-line distances only. Whether keno is currently offered at any named venue is a live operational fact that changes, and the venue's own gaming floor page or guest services desk is the source that carries the current answer.
How far is the nearest documented venue from the Las Vegas city reference point?
The nearest documented venue is d las vegas, at 0.1 straight-line miles, measured great-circle. Road distance is longer. This article does not publish driving miles or travel time, and the reader should measure road distance from their own starting point using a mapping service.
Why does the table list only ten venues when Las Vegas has many more?
The table lists only the venue-to-city pairs supplied for this article. This file documents 481 venues in total and is not a complete list of casinos in any city, county, state, or country. For a complete current list, consult the Nevada gaming regulator.
