Flamingo Casino: fixed location and documented straight-line distances

Flamingo Las Vegas sits 4.0 miles from Las Vegas in straight-line measurement. Road distance is longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

For a reader trying to place the venue on a map, the fixed facts are its documented position in Paradise, Nevada at 36.11611111, -115.17055556, plus a set of published great-circle distances to named reference points. That gives you a reliable geographic frame without guessing routes, traffic patterns, or turn-by-turn access.

Where the venue is fixed on the map

The venue identified here is Flamingo Las Vegas, also referred to as flamingo in public reference sources. Its documented city is Paradise and its documented state is Nevada.

The coordinates place it in the Southern Nevada area. From coordinates alone, you can say it is at a fixed point on the map; what changes from reader to reader is the starting point, not the venue.

Publicly published reference sources also describe a documented snapshot of the property as a hotel with 3,460 rooms, with 220 slot machines and 22 table games. Those figures describe a documented point in time rather than a live operational count.

The casino opening date in publicly published reference sources is December 26, 1946. Ownership is listed there as Caesars Entertainment, which is useful for identifying the business entity behind the site, though ownership and branding can change over time.

Documented straight-line distances

The table below lists every venue-to-reference-point pair available for this property in publicly published reference sources. Every figure is a great-circle measurement, meaning a straight line on the earth rather than a road route.

How to read these numbers correctly

A straight-line figure is best understood as a map geometry reference. It is useful for comparing relative position, but it is not the same thing as the path a car, bus, or other surface trip would have to follow.

Road distance becomes longer because real travel has to work around terrain, water, private land, one-way systems, limited crossings, and the shape of the available road network. State lines can also matter indirectly, because the route that exists on the ground may bend to where crossings and major connections are practical rather than following the shortest geometric line.

That is why this article keeps every mileage figure labeled as great-circle or straight-line. If you need the real route from your own starting point, the right method is to enter the venue coordinates or venue name into a current mapping service and compare the live route options there.

What the surrounding reference points tell you

The published pairs show the venue in relation to nearby Nevada points as well as much farther cities across the United States and Canada. For example, the documented straight-line distance is 11.9 miles to Henderson, 74.1 miles to Laughlin, and 345.9 miles to Reno, all of which help place the property within Nevada.

The same table also gives a wider regional frame. It is 225.1 straight-line miles from Los Angeles, 236.8 straight-line miles from LAX, 254.6 straight-line miles from Phoenix, and 608.2 straight-line miles from Denver.

Longer-range pairs show how far the venue sits from eastern reference points when measured geometrically rather than by route. Examples include 1524.4 straight-line miles to Chicago, 1761.0 straight-line miles to Detroit, 2084.8 straight-line miles to Washington DC, 2230.5 straight-line miles to NYC, and 2372.6 straight-line miles to Boston.

Some labels in the published list are duplicates in practical terms, such as san antonio and san antonio texas, or houston and houston texas, and both versions are preserved in the table because they are separately documented pairs. The same is true for nyc and manhattan, which share the same published straight-line figure here.

Venue scale as a place, not a route

If your interest is the physical venue rather than gaming detail, the documented facility figures help describe what kind of site this is. Publicly published reference sources list 3,460 hotel rooms, 220 slot machines, and 22 table games.

Those numbers do not tell you anything about current availability, operating hours, or present-day layout changes. They do, however, indicate that this is a large established resort-scale property rather than a small stand-alone room.

What to confirm before you go

The fixed location is stable enough to map, but several practical trip details are changeable and should be checked on the venue's own pages before you travel. Confirm current access arrangements, parking terms, hotel availability, on-site amenity availability, and any property-specific entry or check-in policies.

If you are comparing the venue with your own starting point, use a current mapping service for route distance and live travel conditions. If you need property details rather than map geometry, the authoritative current answer is usually on the venue's own booking pages, contact pages, and guest-services information pages.

It is also worth confirming that the facility figures you may see in older references are being read as historical snapshots. Room counts, gaming counts, ownership, and branding can all change over time as properties are renovated, expanded, sold, or rebranded.
