Harrah’s Las Vegas location and straight-line distances from documented reference points

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

The fixed point this article can document

The query names New Orleans, but the documented venue here is Harrah’s Las Vegas, not a Louisiana property. What this article can do is pin that venue to its fixed location in Paradise, Nevada, on the Las Vegas Strip, and then list every documented great-circle distance available from that point.

Publicly published reference sources describe Harrah’s Las Vegas as being on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. Its documented coordinates are 36.11944444 latitude and -115.17083333 longitude, which place it in southern Nevada. Because the venue’s position is fixed and your starting point may not be, the most reliable way to use this page is to compare your own location with the reference points listed below.

Documented straight-line distances

Every figure in the table below is a documented straight-line measurement from Harrah’s Las Vegas to a named reference point. Straight-line, or great-circle, distance is useful for geographic orientation, but it is not the same as the distance you would cover on roads.

Why straight-line distance and real travel differ

Straight-line distance is the shortest path between two coordinates over the earth’s surface. Real-world travel follows roads, street grids, bridges, state boundaries, one-way systems, mountain passes, developed corridors, and other constraints that force detours. That is why road distance is always longer than the great-circle figure listed here.

For a western U.S. venue like this one, the gap between straight-line and actual route length can be influenced by desert basins, mountain ranges, protected land, and the simple fact that roads are built to connect settlement patterns rather than to trace perfect geometric lines. When a route crosses water, metro street grids, or multiple states, the difference can grow further because the path has to follow available crossings and legal road links.

Where the venue sits in regional terms

Harrah’s Las Vegas is documented in Paradise, Nevada, on the Las Vegas Strip. With coordinates at 36.11944444, -115.17083333, it sits west of places with less-negative longitude values and east of places farther into California, while also being south of reference points with higher latitude and north of reference points with lower latitude.

That matters because distance tables are easiest to read when you separate geographic direction from route planning. The table tells you how far the venue is from a given reference point in pure spatial terms; your actual route must then be checked on a current map service from your exact starting point.

What the property figures tell you about the place

Publicly published reference sources describe a venue with 320 slot machines, 20 table games, and 2,542 hotel rooms. Those figures describe a documented point in time rather than a promise about the current layout, because casino properties are periodically renovated, expanded, or reconfigured.

The same published sources date the hotel opening to February 1, 1972. Ownership and operation are also documented at a point in time: the property is owned by Vici Properties and operated by Caesars Entertainment. Those structural facts help identify the venue, but they do not answer current questions about prices, hours, or day-to-day operations.

How to use this page if your real starting point is not listed

The query points to New Orleans, and that pair is documented, so this article can state the New Orleans figure. If the place you care about is not one of the named reference points in the table, this page cannot measure that specific pair and should not guess it.

In that situation, use the venue’s documented coordinates together with your own current location in a mapping tool. That will give you a route based on your real origin, current roads, and live conditions, which a static distance table cannot supply.

What to confirm before you go

Before spending money on travel, confirm the changeable details on the venue’s own contact and visitor channels. The most important items to verify are current access arrangements, hotel availability, parking rules, venue amenities, and any operational details that can change after a renovation or rebrand.

If you are comparing this venue with a Louisiana destination because of the keyword wording, confirm the city and state on the property’s own site before booking anything. Name similarity, shared branding, and older references can easily cause mix-ups between different casino properties in different states.

FAQ

Is this article about a New Orleans casino or about Harrah’s Las Vegas?

It is about Harrah’s Las Vegas, because that is the venue documented here. The query uses New Orleans wording, but the location facts available for this page place the venue on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The documented New Orleans figure is a straight-line distance from this Nevada property, not proof that the venue is in Louisiana.

Can I use the straight-line mileage as my driving distance?

No. Straight-line mileage is a geographic measurement between coordinates, sometimes called great-circle distance or as-the-crow-flies distance. Real travel follows the available road network and other routing constraints, so the road total will always be longer. For an actual trip, check a current mapping service from your exact starting point.

What is the closest documented reference point in the table?

Among the documented pairs listed here, Caesars is the smallest straight-line figure at 0.3 miles. Bourbon Street appears at 0.4 miles and Monte Carlo at 1.1 miles. Those are still straight-line measurements only, so they should be read as spatial proximity rather than walking or driving instructions.
