The fixed place the keyword points to
The keyword uses the older Fitzgeralds name, but the documented venue matched here is The D Las Vegas. Publicly published reference sources identify it in Las Vegas, Nevada, with coordinates 36.16972222, -115.14277778; figures like ownership, opening date, and facility counts describe a documented point in time and can change through rebuilds, rebrands, or sale.
Because this article is about place rather than play, the key fact is that the venue's position is fixed even when branding changes. In practical terms, if you are trying to understand where Fitzgeralds Casino Las Vegas sits, the useful anchor is the present documented site record rather than a promise about current operations, hours, or prices.
Documented straight-line distance
Only one venue-to-reference distance is documented for this matched property in the material used here: the pair between The D Las Vegas and Las Vegas. That makes the article precise on the venue's fixed position relative to the city reference point, while leaving road routing, street approach, and journey length for the reader to confirm on a live map service.
| 参照点 | 直线英里 | 测量类型 |
|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas | 0.1 | great-circle |
This is a great-circle figure, sometimes called straight-line or as-the-crow-flies distance. It is not the same thing as road mileage, walking mileage, or any time-based estimate, and this article does not convert it into those forms.
Why straight-line distance and real travel differ
A straight-line figure is drawn between two coordinates without asking how a person, car, taxi, or bus can move through the built environment. Real travel has to follow a network: blocks, one-way systems, access points, restricted turns, parking entrances, and whatever route geometry exists on the day you travel.
Terrain and physical barriers can also widen the gap between a straight line and a real route. Rivers, rail corridors, grade changes, fenced parcels, large resort footprints, and limited crossing points can force a longer path even when two map pins look close together.
Administrative boundaries matter too. A straight line can cross a city edge or state line with no friction on the map, while real travel has to use the road network that exists between those jurisdictions. That is why this article labels the measurement type explicitly and avoids publishing any road-mile claim that is not separately documented.
Where the venue sits within Las Vegas, Nevada
The matched venue is in Las Vegas, in the state of Nevada. Using the documented coordinates alone, the venue lies slightly west of the Las Vegas reference point because its longitude, -115.14277778, is more negative than the city's -115.14055556.
It also lies slightly north of the Las Vegas reference point because its latitude, 36.16972222, is higher than the city's 36.16916667. Those are small differences, which fits the documented straight-line distance of 0.1 miles between the venue and the city reference point.
The source text also places The D at the eastern end of the Fremont Street Experience. That helps as a local orientation cue, but it should still be treated as descriptive context rather than a substitute for checking the property on a live map before you leave.
Documented venue facts tied to this location
Publicly published reference sources tie several property facts to this site. The documented opening date is July 2, 1980, and the documented owners are Derek and Greg Stevens.
The same source set records more than 1,000 slot machines and 22 table games, while a separate source sentence describes the casino on two floors. Those figures are useful for understanding the physical scale attached to this location at a documented point in time, not as a claim about today's inventory or layout.
The keyword points to Fitzgeralds, while the venue row is The D Las Vegas. That kind of name change matters in wayfinding: older trip reports, photos, and memories may use the previous brand, but the fixed site is still the same subject for distance and position.
How this venue relates to nearby documented venues
The broader Las Vegas file includes multiple other documented venues measured to the same city reference point. That does not create a complete city list, and it should not be read as a census of casinos in Las Vegas. It is simply a set of documented venue records that happen to be measured against the same reference city.
Within that set, The D Las Vegas is listed at 0.1 miles straight-line from Las Vegas, while Four Queens is listed at 0.2 miles straight-line and several others are listed at 0.3 or 0.4 miles straight-line. This helps place the matched property in a downtown cluster relative to the same reference point, but it does not describe road approach or walking conditions between properties.
| Documented venue | Straight-line miles to Las Vegas | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| The D Las Vegas | 0.1 | great-circle |
| Four Queens | 0.2 | great-circle |
| Horseshoe | 0.3 | great-circle |
| Golden Nugget Las Vegas | 0.3 | great-circle |
| Binion's | 0.3 | great-circle |
Only the first row is the direct answer to the keyword. The additional rows are included solely as side-by-side context because they share the same documented reference point and measurement method.
Limits of what this article can measure
This article can say where the venue is fixed on the map and can repeat the documented straight-line pair to Las Vegas. It cannot publish a road distance from the venue to another city, a driveway approach, or a travel time, because those measurements are not documented here.
It also cannot tell you how far the venue is from your own position unless you measure that yourself. If your real question is "how far is Fitzgeralds from me," the reliable method is to place your own starting point and the venue coordinates into a live map or GPS tool and compare the result there.
The same caution applies if you are comparing this site with another downtown property. A tiny straight-line gap can still produce a longer real route because entrances are not always on the side of the building closest to your starting point.
What to confirm before you go
Before travelling, confirm the changeable details through the venue's own current channels, especially its official property page and booking or guest-services pages. The items most likely to matter are current branding, entrance access, parking arrangements, hotel availability, dining availability, and any property-specific access restrictions.
If you are using an older name such as Fitzgeralds, confirm that your map search resolves to the current property identity. Rebrands are common enough that the main practical risk is not the coordinates themselves, but whether your app, booking record, rideshare search, or saved notes still use an outdated venue name.
If you need road mileage or a journey estimate, check a live mapping service on the day you travel. That is the authoritative channel for route-specific answers because it reflects your chosen start point and the current road network rather than a static straight-line measurement.
Using the city reference point carefully
The Las Vegas reference point in this article is a city coordinate, not a curbside pickup point and not a building entrance. A distance measured to a city center marker is best read as a rough positional anchor inside the city, not as an arrival instruction.
That distinction matters in dense urban areas. Two places can both be very close to the city reference point but still require different final approaches depending on where their entrances, drop-off areas, or parking access points are located.
For that reason, straight-line measurements are best used to understand relative placement. They tell you the venue is in Las Vegas and very close to the documented city reference point, while your live map tells you how to approach the property in real travel conditions.
FAQ
Is Fitzgeralds Casino Las Vegas the same place as The D Las Vegas?
The keyword maps to the documented venue record for The D Las Vegas, which is the site discussed here. Publicly published reference sources identify that venue in Las Vegas, Nevada, and list Derek and Greg Stevens as owners. For a current trip, confirm the present branding on the property's own official channels before travelling.
How far is Fitzgeralds Casino Las Vegas from downtown Las Vegas?
The documented pair available here is between the matched venue and the Las Vegas reference point: 0.1 miles straight-line. That is a great-circle measurement, not road mileage. This article does not publish driving, walking, or transit distance, so use a live map if you need a route from a specific downtown starting point.
Can this article tell me the drive time or the best route to the venue?
No. Road mileage is longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not provide driving distance, travel time, highway routing, exits, or turn-by-turn instructions. Those answers depend on your exact starting point and the live road network, so the right place to confirm them is a current mapping or navigation service.
