The Venue Is Fixed; Your Starting Point Is Not
The keyword asks about a bingo venue tied to Don Laughlin's Riverside, but the documented venue in Riverside, Missouri is Argosy Casino Riverside, a riverboat casino on the Missouri River. No straight-line distance pairs are documented for this venue, so no mileage figure can be stated here. The article can give you the venue's fixed, documented position and explain how to measure from wherever you are.
Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance. This article does not publish road mileage, driving time, or any travel-time estimate. If you need a driving figure, measure it from your own starting point using a mapping tool, because the venue's coordinates are fixed while your origin is not.
Documented Position of the Venue
The venue sits in Riverside, Missouri, on the Missouri River, just north of Kansas City. The state is Missouri, and the city is Riverside. That is the entire documented geographic anchor: a riverboat casino on the Missouri River in Riverside, Missouri, north of Kansas City.
The venue opened on June 22, 1994 as the Argosy V, Kansas City's first riverboat casino. It is owned by Gaming and Leisure Properties and operated by Penn Entertainment. Ownership and branding of casino properties change through sales and rebrands, so treat the operator name as a documented point in time rather than a permanent fact.
Documented Facility Figures
The property houses 62,000 square feet of gaming space, with 1,500 slot machines and 37 table games. These figures come from publicly published reference sources and describe a documented point in time, not necessarily today. Properties are rebuilt and expanded, so room counts, machine counts and floor area are revised as changes occur.

Straight-Line Distances to This Venue
No straight-line distance pairs are documented for this venue. The distance matrix for this article contains no entries, so no mileage figure to any reference city can be stated here. If the keyword asks for a distance from a specific city, that specific pair is not one this article can measure.
What can be stated without a mileage figure is the venue's relative position: it sits on the Missouri River in Riverside, Missouri, just north of Kansas City. The only directional relationship supported by the documented source is that the venue is north of Kansas City. No other city, state, or compass relationship is documented.

Why Straight-Line Distance Differs from Road Distance
Straight-line distance is the shortest path between two points on the earth's surface, measured as a great-circle arc. Road distance is longer because roads follow terrain, cross or avoid water, and connect through junctions rather than cutting directly across open space. The Missouri River itself is a major reason any road route to this riverboat venue will deviate from a straight line: bridges are fixed points, and the road network must route to them.
Crossing a state line also adds length when the route must pass through border crossings or follow corridors that connect population centers. A venue sitting on a river just north of a major city will almost always have a road route longer than its straight-line distance to that city, because the road must reach a bridge or follow the river's curve. This article does not estimate how much longer, because that depends on the specific origin and route chosen.
Measuring from Your Own Starting Point
If the keyword contains "me," "here," "my location," or "near me," the reference point does not exist and cannot be resolved. Do not guess a city. The venue's position is fixed: Riverside, Missouri, on the Missouri River, just north of Kansas City. Your position is variable, and only you can supply it.
To measure from your own location, open any mapping tool, enter the venue's city and state as the destination, and enter your current address or coordinates as the origin. The tool will give you a road distance and a driving time based on current conditions. That figure is yours to generate; this article does not publish road mileage or travel time because those change with route, traffic, construction, and time of day.
What to Confirm Before You Go
Facility figures, operating hours, bingo session schedules, and any admission or participation requirements are changeable and not documented in this article. The authoritative current answer lives on the property's own pages: its booking page, its published hours page, its bingo or events page, and its guest services line. Confirm before travelling, especially if you are coming from outside the Kansas City area.
Common items that catch people out: a bingo session may require a separate buy-in or a players-club card; operating hours for the bingo hall may differ from the casino floor hours; and riverboat venues sometimes have boarding procedures or access restrictions that a land-based casino does not. None of those specifics are documented here, so treat them as items to verify through the venue's own channels.
