Where Parx Casino Sits and How Its Distances Measure

The Fixed Point This Article Measures From

Parx Casino sits at 40.1186 north latitude and -74.953 west longitude, a documented position in Bensalem Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The nearest major city in the supplied reference set is Philadelphia, at 16.0 straight-line miles. That figure is a great-circle measurement, not a road distance.

Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any pair. A reader planning a trip should treat every number below as a starting reference, not a route estimate.

Documented Straight-Line Distances to Reference Points

The table below lists every reference point for which a great-circle distance to Parx Casino is documented. Each row uses the exact value supplied; no pair has been interpolated or estimated.

Why Straight-Line and Road Distance Diverge

A great-circle figure is the shortest path across the surface of a sphere between two coordinate pairs. It ignores terrain, water crossings, road networks, and political boundaries. The documented position of Parx Casino sits northeast of Philadelphia in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, near the Delaware River corridor, which means any road route to points east or south must follow bridge crossings and highway alignments that a straight line does not.

Crossing a state line adds another layer of divergence. A straight-line figure between Parx and a point in New Jersey or Delaware cuts across the river directly; a road route must use a limited set of crossings, each of which adds miles. The same applies to any pair where the straight line crosses a body of water, a mountain range, or a dense urban grid. The table above therefore understates every real trip.

The Venue's Fixed Position and Regional Orientation

Parx Casino's coordinates place it in Bensalem Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, northeast of the city of Philadelphia. Using only the coordinate pair, the venue sits north of the Philadelphia reference point and west of the Atlantic City reference point. The nearest documented casino reference point is Wind Creek at 40.4 straight-line miles, and the nearest major city is Philadelphia at 16.0 straight-line miles.

Because the venue's position is fixed, every distance in the table is stable. What changes is the reader's own starting point. If the keyword asks about a distance from "me" or "my location," that origin does not exist in the documented reference set and cannot be resolved. The correct method is to take the reader's own coordinates or city, find the closest documented reference point in the table, and treat that figure as a floor, not a route.

How to Measure From Your Own Starting Point

A reader who wants the straight-line distance from a specific origin can measure it directly from the venue's published coordinates: 40.1186 north, -74.953 west. Any mapping tool that accepts coordinate input will return a great-circle figure for the pair. That figure will match the type of measurement used throughout this article.

For road distance, no number in this article applies. The reader should use a routing tool with the venue's name and city, Bensalem, Pennsylvania, as the destination. The tool will account for bridges, highways, and current traffic conditions. This article deliberately stops at the straight-line layer because road figures change with route choice and time of day.

What to Confirm Before You Go

Several items change independently of the venue's fixed coordinates and are not published here. The reader should confirm each one through the property's own channels before travelling.

• Current operating hours for the gaming floor, poker room, and any specific table game area.
• Whether a particular table game or side bet is currently spread, since table mixes change by shift and season.
• Hotel availability and room categories at the on-site hotel, which is documented as a planned 300-room property.
• Event schedule for the Xcite Center, a documented 30,000 square foot event space.
• Parking access and any entry procedures in effect at the time of visit.

The authoritative current answer for each item lives on the venue's own published pages, its guest services line, or its box office. A reader should confirm the specific game question directly with the poker room or table games desk, because a side bet like a 6 Card Bonus is a table-level offering that can vary by pit and by day.
