1.5 miles straight-line separates Tunica from the nearest documented venue in this reference set, Gold Strike. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
For the specific query “fitzgerald casino tunica,” this article cannot measure that venue directly because no venue row under that name is documented in the published reference sources used here. What it can do is fix the geography of Tunica itself, show the documented nearby venue pairs that are measured to Tunica, and explain how to relate your own starting point to that fixed location.
Tunica is the fixed point this article can document
The documented city reference point is Tunica, with coordinates 34.83, -90.31611111, identified in publicly published reference sources as Tunica Resorts, Mississippi. That gives you a fixed place on the map even when the venue name in the query does not match a documented venue entry.
Within the same published references, 318 venues are measured to this city reference point. That is not a census of all casinos in the area, and it should not be read as a total count for the city, county, or state.
Because the keyword names Fitzgerald Casino Tunica but no separate documented row appears under that name here, the safest way to use this article is as a location guide to the Tunica casino area rather than as a property-by-property profile. If you need the current identity of a former or renamed property, the venue’s own contact page and the current Mississippi gaming authority listings are the channels to check.
Documented straight-line distances tied to Tunica
The table below lists every venue-to-Tunica pairing documented in these published reference sources for this article. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, meaning a straight-line map distance rather than a road route.

If you were hoping for a Fitzgerald-to-your-city mileage figure, that specific pair is not one this article can measure. The only honest mileage figures available here are the documented straight-line pairings to the Tunica city reference point shown above.
Why straight-line distance and real travel distance differ
Straight-line distance is useful because it tells you relative position without depending on any single route choice. It is the shortest possible map line between two coordinates, drawn through space rather than along the road network.
Actual travel is longer because vehicles do not move through that direct line. Roads bend around land ownership patterns, water crossings, local street layouts, and gaps in the network where no direct connection exists.
State lines can matter too, not because a straight-line map measurement changes, but because road connections and crossing points may force detours. The result is simple: a place that is close in great-circle terms can still require a noticeably longer road path, and this article does not estimate that longer figure.
Where Tunica sits in regional terms
Tunica is documented here in Mississippi. Its coordinates place it west within Mississippi because the longitude is far to the west side of the state, and north within Mississippi because the latitude sits in the northern part of the state.
The venue references measured to Tunica also help frame the area regionally. Gold Strike is documented in Tunica Resorts, Mississippi, at 34.84635, -90.33255, which places it extremely close to the Tunica city reference point in straight-line terms.
Other documented comparison points extend outward into neighboring parts of the region. Saracen is in Arkansas, while Pearl River is in Mississippi and Oaklawn is represented through its Hot Springs identity in Arkansas. That spread is enough to show Tunica as part of a multi-state casino geography, even though this article cannot convert those straight-line relationships into road itineraries.
What the documented venue data does and does not tell you
One nearby documented property does have facility figures attached in these public references: Gold Strike in Tunica Resorts, Mississippi, with 1,400 slot machines, 50,000 square feet of gaming space, and 52 table games, with ownership listed as Vici Properties. Those figures describe a documented point in time and are not a claim about current configuration.
That does not make Gold Strike a substitute identity for Fitzgerald Casino Tunica. It is simply the nearest documented venue entry to the Tunica reference point in this source set, so it is the only named property here that can anchor the location discussion with both distance and facility context.
No equivalent row for Fitzgerald Casino Tunica appears in the same published references. Because of that, this article does not assign Fitzgerald any coordinates, opening date, ownership, size, or distance figures of its own.
How to use this if your own location is the missing variable
The venue area is fixed; your position is not. Start with the Tunica coordinates, 34.83 and -90.31611111, and compare them with your own starting point in any mapping tool that can show straight-line or great-circle measurement between coordinates.
Then use the table in this article as a reality check for scale. For example, the published reference sources place Gold Strike just 1.5 miles straight-line from Tunica, while Saracen is 103.2 miles straight-line and Pearl River is 155.8 miles straight-line from the same fixed city point.
That method is also the safest way to handle rename questions. If a property has changed branding over time, coordinates and city placement remain the stable facts to verify first, while branding and operations can change through sale, rebrand, or redevelopment.
What to confirm before you go
Before traveling, confirm the current property name, whether the venue you mean is the same site as a former Tunica casino name, and the present visitor information on the venue’s own website or contact page. Ownership and branding of casino properties change over time.
Also confirm the practical items this article cannot publish: current road directions, parking arrangements, hotel availability, room pricing, resort-fee structure, dining schedules, and any day-specific access restrictions. The authoritative source for those live details is the property’s own booking and guest-information channels.
If you need a complete and current list of casino venues in Mississippi or on tribal land, use the relevant state or tribal gaming authority rather than treating this article as a census. This reference set documents 318 venue measurements to Tunica and 481 venues in total, but it is explicitly not a complete list for any jurisdiction.
FAQ
Can this article tell me how far Fitzgerald Casino Tunica is from my location?
No. Your starting point is not documented here, and no venue row for Fitzgerald Casino Tunica appears in these published reference sources. What this article can give you is the fixed Tunica reference point at 34.83, -90.31611111 and the documented straight-line distances from Tunica to named venues in the table above.
Is the 1.5-mile figure a driving distance?
No. The 1.5-mile figure is explicitly a straight-line, or great-circle, measurement between Tunica and Gold Strike. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving miles or trip times because those depend on the actual route available when you travel.
Does this article identify Fitzgerald Casino Tunica as the same property as another Tunica casino?
No. There is no documented venue entry here under that exact name, so the article does not merge it with another property or assign it another venue’s facts. If you are tracking a former name or a rebrand, confirm the current property identity through the venue’s own contact information and current gaming authority listings.
