The Payout Question Starts at the Table, Not the Venue
Whether blackjack at Treasure Island pays 3 to 2 is not a fixed property of the venue. It is a rule printed on the felt of each individual table, and it can differ between tables in the same pit, change by minimum bet, and be revised by the operator without notice to any external listing.
This article cannot state a current payout ratio for any table at Treasure Island. No publicly published reference source supplies that figure, and any number written here would be invented. What this article can do is explain where the venue sits, how far it is from major reference points, and what to check before you sit down.
Where Treasure Island Sits
Treasure Island Hotel and Casino is located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. Its documented coordinates are 36.12472222 north latitude and -115.17194444 west longitude. Those coordinates place it in the southern part of Nevada, within the Las Vegas Valley, and west of the Colorado River.
The venue opened on October 26, 1993. It includes 2,885 hotel rooms and a casino floor of 47,927 square feet, according to publicly published reference sources. Facility figures like room counts and floor area are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded, so treat them as a documented point in time rather than a live count.
Paradise is an unincorporated town in Clark County, Nevada, immediately south of the city of Las Vegas. The Strip itself runs through Paradise for most of its length, which is why many venues with Las Vegas in their name are physically located in Paradise rather than within Las Vegas city limits.
Straight-Line Distances to Reference Points
The table below lists great-circle distances from Treasure Island's documented coordinates to a set of reference points. Every figure is a straight-line measurement, not a road distance. Road distance is always longer, sometimes substantially so, because highways do not follow a direct line between two points.

| Bourbon Street | 0.7 | great-circle |
Bourbon Street appears with a straight-line distance of 0.7 miles because the reference point in the supplied data is a location on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, not a separate venue. The figure is a great-circle measurement between two documented coordinates and carries no implication about road access.
Why Straight-Line and Road Distance Diverge
A great-circle distance is the shortest path along the surface of the Earth between two points. It ignores every physical obstacle in between. Road distance is built from the actual highway network, which follows terrain, crosses water only at bridges, and routes through population centers rather than across open desert in a straight line.
For Treasure Island, the divergence is easiest to see with nearby reference points. Las Vegas sits 3.5 miles away straight-line, but the road network around the Strip adds turns, signals, and one-way sections that lengthen the drive. For distant points like Denver or Seattle, mountain ranges and river crossings force the road network far off the direct line.
This article does not publish road mileage or driving time for any pair. Those figures depend on route choice, construction, traffic, and the exact start and end points, none of which are fixed by the venue's coordinates.
What the Coordinates Tell You About the Region
Treasure Island's longitude of -115.17194444 places it well west of the continental divide and east of the Sierra Nevada. Its latitude of 36.12472222 puts it in the southern tier of Nevada, closer to the Arizona and California borders than to the northern part of the state.
Relative to nearby reference points, the venue sits north of Henderson, west of Laughlin, and east of Los Angeles. Those directional statements follow directly from the coordinates and the straight-line figures in the table above. They describe position, not travel convenience.
The venue is in Paradise, Nevada, not the city of Las Vegas, even though the two names are often used interchangeably. Clark County surrounds both, and the Strip corridor runs through Paradise for most of its length.
What to Confirm Before You Go
If the blackjack payout ratio is the deciding factor for your trip, the only authoritative source is the table itself. Payout rules are printed on the felt or on a placard at each table, and they can change when a table's minimum bet changes or when the pit reconfigures its game mix.
Confirm these items before you travel:
- The payout ratio on the specific table you plan to play, read from the felt or placard at that table.
- The minimum and maximum bet for that table, which often correlate with the payout ratio offered.
- Whether the venue has changed its table game lineup since your last visit.
- Your own starting point and route, since this article gives straight-line distances only.
For current table rules, the venue's own casino floor is the source. For travel planning, use a mapping tool with your exact starting address, because the fixed coordinates of the venue cannot tell you your own road distance.
