Harrah's Las Vegas and the New Orleans Reference Point: Straight-Line Distance Only

For the venue documented here, the straight-line distance to New Orleans is 1509.1 miles straight-line. Road distance is longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The fixed point this article can identify

The keyword asks about New Orleans, but the venue data available here is for Harrah's Las Vegas, not a Louisiana property. What can be answered precisely is the fixed position of Harrah's Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada, on the Las Vegas Strip, together with its documented great-circle distances to named reference points.

Publicly published reference sources place the venue at latitude 36.11944444 and longitude -115.17083333. Those coordinates anchor every distance statement below. If you were looking for a road route or a same-city venue match in New Orleans, this article cannot measure that from the material available here.

Where the venue sits

Harrah's Las Vegas is identified as being on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. Its documented ownership and operation are Vici Properties and Caesars Entertainment, and the property opened on February 1, 1972.

The venue coordinates place it in southern Nevada. From the longitude alone, it sits west of reference points such as Chicago, Houston, Toronto, Washington DC, and New York City that appear in the distance matrix, while remaining east of Pacific reference points farther offshore only in a general geographic sense this article does not try to quantify.

The latitude places it south of reference points such as Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose, Syracuse, Chicago, Toronto, and Snoqualmie in the published comparison set. It is north of some Southern California reference points only where the coordinate relationship would support that reading, but this article avoids unsourced pairwise claims beyond the documented table.

How to read the New Orleans figure correctly

The New Orleans figure is a great-circle measurement between coordinate points. It is useful for orientation and side-by-side comparison, but it is not a route you can drive, ride, or follow on the ground.

Real travel paths bend around street grids, limited-access roads, one-way systems, mountain ranges, water crossings, and jurisdiction boundaries. Even where two places look nearly aligned on a map, the transport network can force detours that make the road total longer than the straight-line number.

That is especially important with a query framed around New Orleans. The matrix here can say that Harrah's Las Vegas sits 1509.1 miles straight-line from New Orleans, but it cannot say what your odometer would show, which route would be available on a given day, or how long the trip would take.

Why the keyword is only partly answerable

The search phrase uses the name of a New Orleans casino, yet the documented venue row is for Harrah's Las Vegas. So this article cannot present a venue profile for a New Orleans property, because none is documented here by location, coordinates, rooms, opening date, or ownership in Louisiana.

What it can do is prevent a common misunderstanding: the phrase “Harrah's casino New Orleans” does not match the fixed venue row behind this page. The measurable subject here remains Harrah's Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada, and the New Orleans entry functions only as a reference point in the distance matrix.

Facility scale at the documented venue

As a place, not a play guide, Harrah's Las Vegas is documented with 2542 hotel rooms, 320 slot machines, and 20 table games. Publicly published reference sources also describe the room inventory as spread across three buildings.

Those figures are historical facility descriptors tied to a documented point in time. They help you understand the physical scale of the venue, but like ownership and branding, they can change as properties are renovated, expanded, or reorganized.

What to confirm before you go

If you are trying to turn a straight-line number into a real trip, confirm the live details from the venue's own contact and directions pages or from your mapping provider. The items that change are the road route, access pattern, parking arrangements, entry points, and any temporary traffic restrictions.

If your goal was the New Orleans property named in the keyword, confirm that you are looking at the correct city and state before booking anything. Matching the venue name alone is not enough when brands recur across different markets.

You should also confirm current hotel inventory, amenity availability, and on-site services through the property's own official channels. This article does not publish live operating information, current hours, or any travel-time estimate.

FAQ

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

The documented venue here is Harrah's Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada. New Orleans appears only as a named reference point in the straight-line distance matrix, where the venue-to-New-Orleans distance is 1509.1 miles great-circle. This page therefore helps with location context, not with a Louisiana venue profile.

Can I use the straight-line figure to estimate my drive?

No. A straight-line figure is a map geometry measurement between coordinates, not a published road route. Actual travel is longer because roads curve, networks are indirect, and water, terrain, and urban layouts force detours. For a current route, check a live mapping service and the venue's own directions information before leaving.
