Edgewater Casino: Fixed Position and Documented Straight-Line Distances

From Edgewater Casino, the documented straight-line distance is 76.6 miles to Las Vegas, 64.6 miles to Henderson, 185.3 miles to Phoenix, 222.7 miles to Los Angeles, and 233.9 miles to LAX, all measured as straight-line. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The fixed point this article can document

The venue covered here is Edgewater Hotel and Casino, identified in publicly published reference sources as being in Laughlin, Nevada. Its documented coordinates are 35.16049 latitude and -114.57305 longitude, which gives the fixed geographic point for the property rather than a route from any one reader's starting place.

That distinction matters because a venue's position stays the same while the reader's origin changes. For that reason, the most reliable way to explain where Edgewater sits is to anchor it to its city, state, coordinates, and the published straight-line distances to named reference points.

Where it sits within Nevada

Using the documented coordinates alone, Edgewater sits in the southern part of Nevada, in the city of Laughlin. The longitude of -114.57305 places it in the eastern part of the state, so the venue can be described, conservatively and factually, as being in southeastern Nevada.

The city field in the published references is Laughlin and the state field is Nevada. If you are comparing the property with your own starting point, those two fixed identifiers are the first things to match in any map app before you look at route options, parking details, or lodging arrangements.

Documented venue scale at a point in time

Publicly published reference sources describe this property as having 755 slot machines, 1,053 hotel rooms, and 57,457 square feet of gaming space. Those figures describe a documented point in time rather than a permanent guarantee, because casino properties are periodically renovated, reconfigured, expanded, or rebranded.

The same source trail identifies 1981 as the opening year. Ownership is listed as Vici Properties, while the ownership and branding of casino venues can change over time through property sales, lease structures, or operating agreements.

Published straight-line distances

The table below reproduces the full set of documented venue-to-reference-point pairs available for this property. Every mileage figure is a great-circle measurement, not a road figure, so it should be read only as a geographic comparison of fixed points.

How to read those mile figures correctly

A straight-line or great-circle distance connects two mapped points through geometry, not through the path a vehicle can legally or practically take. That makes it useful for orientation and comparison, but not for trip planning.

Real-world road distance becomes longer for several reasons. Terrain can force routes around mountains or other landforms, water can break the direct line, street networks rarely run point to point, and long trips often involve detours created by state boundaries, bridge locations, or the limited places where a road network crosses a natural barrier.

That is why a straight-line figure should be treated as a baseline map relationship rather than a promise of how far you will drive. The published caveat for this venue's distance matrix states that the figures are great-circle distances, not driving miles, and that driving is always longer.

What the distance matrix does and does not answer

If your question is whether Edgewater is closer in straight-line terms to one published reference point than another, the table answers that directly. For example, the documented straight-line figure to Henderson is 64.6 miles, while the documented straight-line figure to Las Vegas is 76.6 miles.

If your question is a pair that does not appear in the published matrix, this article cannot measure that segment. In that case, the reliable fallback is to use the venue's fixed coordinates, 35.16049 and -114.57305, together with your own origin point in a mapping tool that lets you inspect both straight-line and routed distance.

The same rule applies if you are trying to compare airport, downtown, or neighborhood starting points not listed here. This article can only restate the documented pairings already published for the property.

Why the city label still matters even with coordinates

Coordinates are precise, but most travel decisions begin with city and state. Knowing that the venue is in Laughlin, Nevada helps you separate the fixed location of the property from broader regional planning choices such as where you may stay, which city you may arrive through, or which other stops you may compare on a map.

The city label also helps when a property name is reused elsewhere. A search for Edgewater by name alone can be ambiguous, while Edgewater Hotel and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada points to the specific venue described by the documented coordinates and facility figures in this article.

What to confirm before you go

Before travelling, confirm the changeable details that are not covered by fixed-location data. That includes current room availability, parking arrangements, check-in policies, venue access points, and any temporary changes to on-site amenities or tower usage.

The authoritative current answer for those items is the property's own booking page, guest services channel, and official contact page. If you are using a map app, also confirm that the pin matches Laughlin, Nevada and the venue name Edgewater Hotel and Casino rather than relying only on a generic search result.

If you are comparing this property with another casino venue, confirm that both listings refer to the same type of measurement. A straight-line figure from a reference table and a routed road figure from a map app are not interchangeable, and mixing them is one of the easiest ways to misread how far away a property really feels in practice.
