Harrah's Las Vegas location and straight-line distances

New Orleans is 1509.1 miles away from Harrah's Las Vegas in straight-line distance. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or any travel-time estimate.

The fixed point this article can document

The keyword asks about “Harrah's casino New Orleans Louisiana,” but the documented venue here is Harrah's Las Vegas, not a Louisiana property. What this article can do is fix that venue's location and show every reference-point pairing that has been publicly published for it, including New Orleans.

Harrah's Las Vegas is in Paradise, Nevada, on the Las Vegas Strip. Publicly published reference sources place it at latitude 36.11944444 and longitude -115.17083333; figures like room counts, machine counts and floor area are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded, and ownership and branding can also change over time.

Where the venue sits

The venue is documented in Paradise, in the state of Nevada. By coordinate sign alone, it sits north of the equator and west of the prime meridian, which places it in the northwestern half of the world coordinate grid and in the western United States.

Its published location description is the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The documented ownership structure says it is owned by Vici Properties and operated by Caesars Entertainment.

Documented venue facts at that location

For the physical site itself, the published figures available here are limited but concrete. The property is documented with 2542 hotel rooms, 320 slot machines, and 20 table games, and the hotel portion opened on February 1, 1972.

Those figures describe a documented point in time rather than a live operational snapshot. They are useful for understanding the scale of the place, but not for inferring present-day hours, current inventory, or anything else that changes in real time.

How to read those mileage figures

Every mileage figure in the table is a great-circle measurement, sometimes called “as the crow flies.” It is the shortest path between two coordinate points over the earth's surface, not the path a road vehicle follows.

That is why road distance is longer. Actual routes bend around terrain, water, one-way street patterns, limited-access networks, property boundaries, and state-line routing choices; they also depend on where a trip begins and ends within a metro area rather than on a single abstract point.

Cross-state travel adds another reason the practical route diverges from the straight line. Even when two places are far apart in a broadly east-west or north-south sense, the usable road network may force a longer arc than the geometric line between coordinates.

What the New Orleans query does and does not tell you

Because “New Orleans” appears in the published distance set for this venue, this article can state that Harrah's Las Vegas is 1509.1 miles from New Orleans in straight-line distance. It cannot turn that into road mileage, and it cannot infer a route, a travel duration, or a best way to go.

The keyword also contains “Louisiana,” but the documented venue itself is not in Louisiana. It is in Paradise, Nevada, so the useful reading of the query here is as a reference-point comparison, not as proof that the venue sits in New Orleans.

Relative position inside the documented region

Coordinates support only limited directional claims, but those claims are still useful. With a positive latitude and a negative longitude, the venue lies north of the equator and west of Greenwich, and its state location places it in Nevada rather than in Louisiana, Texas, California, or any of the other states implied by the reference names in the distance table.

Within the regional frame named by the location description, the venue is on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise. That gives a fixed geographic anchor even when a reader's own starting point changes.

What to confirm before you go

This article is only about fixed location and documented scale. Before spending money on travel, confirm the live details that change: the property's current access arrangements, parking terms, hotel availability, room inventory by tower, venue map, and any event-specific entry rules.

The authoritative current answer for those items is the property's own official booking and contact channels, plus its published property map and guest-services information. If you are comparing this venue with another place, measure from your own starting point in a map tool and keep in mind that the straight-line figures here are not road miles.
