The fixed point this article can document
The keyword asks for a different named venue, but the publicly published reference sources available for this article describe Harrah’s Las Vegas, not Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino and Racetrack. So the usable answer here is a fixed-location guide to Harrah’s Las Vegas, with its documented position in Paradise, Nevada and its documented straight-line distances to named reference points.
Harrah’s Las Vegas is on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, at documented coordinates 36.11944444, -115.17083333. Those coordinates place it in Nevada, and the longitude shows it is west of places such as Chicago, Houston, Toronto, New Orleans, Charlotte, Washington DC, Manhattan, and New York City that appear in the distance list below.
Venue location at a glance
At the documented point in time reflected by publicly published reference sources, the venue is identified as Harrah’s Las Vegas. The same source material says it opened on February 1, 1972, and describes ownership as Vici Properties with operation by Caesars Entertainment.
Facility figures are also documented for that point in time: 2,542 hotel rooms, 320 slot machines, and 20 table games. Those figures help describe the scale of the property, but they do not change the location question: the venue’s fixed geographic point is its coordinates in Paradise, Nevada.

How to read these miles correctly
Every mileage in the table is a straight-line, or great-circle, measurement between the venue’s documented coordinates and a named reference point. That means the figure is useful for geographic orientation, comparison of relative remoteness, and understanding broad regional position.
It is not the same thing as road distance. Actual surface travel is longer because roads rarely follow a direct geometric line, and because travel may need to go around built-up areas, water, protected land, mountains, property boundaries, and state-line routing choices.
Cross-state travel adds another source of divergence. A straight line can cross places with no practical through-route, while a real trip has to follow the available network of streets and larger roads, which introduces detours and directional changes that a great-circle figure ignores.
What the coordinates tell you about regional position
The coordinates 36.11944444, -115.17083333 place the venue in Paradise, Nevada on the Las Vegas Strip. Without inventing any unsourced route detail, those coordinates are enough to say the property sits in the western United States.
The negative longitude places it far west of the eastern and central reference points in the table, including Washington DC, New Orleans, Chicago, Houston, Toronto, Manhattan, and Charlotte. Compared with California reference points such as LAX, San Jose, Sacramento, Modesto, San Francisco, Thunder Valley, and Cache Creek, the venue remains east of those coastal and near-coastal locations because its longitude is less negative than places farther toward the Pacific.
What this article cannot measure for the keyword asked
The requested keyword is Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino and Racetrack, but that named venue does not have a documented venue row in the reference material available for this page. Because of that, this article cannot honestly state its coordinates, city, state, ownership, opening date, room count, gaming-floor figures, or any distance from it to any reference point.
It also cannot convert the Las Vegas distance table into Philadelphia measurements. If the pair you want is Harrah’s Philadelphia to a city, airport, or another casino, that specific pair is not one this article can measure.
What to confirm before you go
If your real purpose is a visit, confirm the current property identity, access arrangements, parking policy, hotel availability, and any on-site amenity details on the venue’s own official information pages. Ownership, branding, room inventory, and operating arrangements can change over time.
If you are trying to compare your own starting point with the fixed venue position, use the documented coordinates 36.11944444, -115.17083333 in your own mapping tool and compare that result with the straight-line figures listed here. Check carefully whether your tool is showing straight-line distance or route distance, because those are different measurements.
FAQ
Is this article about Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino and Racetrack?
No. The keyword asks about that venue, but the documented venue data available for this page is for Harrah’s Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada. So this article can give you the fixed location of Harrah’s Las Vegas and its published straight-line distance pairs, but not verified location facts for the Philadelphia property.
Why is a straight-line number useful if it is not driving distance?
A straight-line figure is a clean geographic reference because it measures point to point without road-network detours. That makes it useful for comparing how far west, east, near, or far a venue is relative to named cities and landmarks. For trip planning, though, you still need a separate route-based check because road mileage is always longer.
Can I use these figures to estimate how long a trip will take?
No. This article does not publish travel time, and a straight-line mileage figure should not be treated as a time estimate. Real trips depend on the available road network, border crossings, urban street patterns, terrain, and other route constraints, all of which can make two similar straight-line distances behave very differently in practice.
