Harrah’s Rincon Casino: fixed location and documented straight-line distances

From the documented venue position, the straight-line distance to Sacramento is 386.6 miles straight-line, to San Antonio 1071.6 miles straight-line, to Toronto 1950.9 miles straight-line, to Houston 1226.9 miles straight-line, to Ford Field 1760.9 miles straight-line, to Washington DC 2084.8 miles straight-line, to NYC 2230.4 miles straight-line, to Modesto 338.9 miles straight-line, to New Orleans 1509.1 miles straight-line, to San Francisco 416.0 miles straight-line, to LAX 237.0 miles straight-line, to Chicago 1524.3 miles straight-line, and to many other listed reference points shown below. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The keyword asks for Harrah’s Rincon Casino, but the documented venue tied to this topic is Harrah’s Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada, at coordinates 36.11944444, -115.17083333. That means this article can describe the fixed site that is documented here and the exact straight-line pairs published for it, but it cannot measure any undocument­ed place pair beyond that list.

The fixed site this article can place

The documented site is Harrah’s Las Vegas, identified in publicly published reference sources as being on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. Its published coordinates are 36.11944444 latitude and -115.17083333 longitude, which give the venue a fixed point on the map even when a reader’s starting point is different.

Because the query names a different Harrah’s property, the main practical point is this: the venue’s position is fixed, but your position is not. If you want to compare your own starting point, use the venue coordinates above in your preferred map tool and measure from your current location; this article only states the straight-line distances that are already documented for this specific site.

Documented straight-line distance table

Why straight-line distance and real travel differ

A great-circle figure is the shortest path between two coordinate points over the earth’s surface. It is useful for orientation, comparison, and scale, but it is not the same thing as the path a person follows on the ground.

Road mileage is longer because transport networks do not move in a perfect geometric line. Roads bend around terrain, built-up areas, and property boundaries, and they may also detour around water, mountains, and other barriers that do not matter to a straight-line calculation.

Crossing state lines can add more separation between the direct map line and the route a vehicle can legally and practically follow. The result is the same principle noted in the published caveat for this venue’s distance list: driving is always longer than the great-circle number shown here.

How to read the venue’s position in regional terms

The documented city is Paradise, in the state of Nevada, and the venue description places it on the Las Vegas Strip. With coordinates at 36.11944444, -115.17083333, the site is in southern Nevada by statewide geography, not in the northern part of the state.

The distance matrix also helps show broader orientation without inventing any unsupported road figures. For example, the documented straight-line distance to LAX is 237.0 miles great-circle, while San Francisco is 416.0 miles great-circle and Sacramento is 386.6 miles great-circle, which places this site materially closer in straight-line terms to Southern California reference points than to the listed Northern California ones.

The table also shows that some named Las Vegas-area references are extremely close in straight-line terms, such as Caesars at 0.3 miles great-circle, Bourbon Street at 0.4 miles great-circle, Monte Carlo at 1.1 miles great-circle, Horseshoe at 3.9 miles great-circle, Silverton at 5.4 miles great-circle, and South Point at 7.5 miles great-circle. Those values are still map-line measurements only, not walking or driving routes.

What the published venue details say about the property

Publicly published reference sources describe the venue as Harrah’s Las Vegas and give a documented opening date of February 1, 1972. Those same sources attribute 320 slot machines, 20 table games, and 2,542 hotel rooms to the property at the documented point in time reflected by those sources.

The published ownership and operating description says it is owned by Vici Properties and operated by Caesars Entertainment. As with room counts, gaming counts, and branding, that kind of information can change over time through expansion, renovation, sale, or rebrand, so readers should treat it as a documented snapshot rather than a live status page.

If your real question is “how far is it from me?”

This article cannot resolve “from me,” “from here,” or any other moving personal starting point unless your place matches one of the documented reference pairs in the table. The venue location is fixed; your location is not.

To measure from your own starting point, enter the venue coordinates 36.11944444, -115.17083333 into a map tool and compare that point with your own current location. If your city or landmark is not one of the named reference points in the table, this article cannot publish a mileage figure for that exact pair.

The same limitation applies if you meant a different Harrah’s property entirely. The keyword names Harrah’s Rincon Casino, but the documented site available here is Harrah’s Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada, so only that site’s published distances can be listed.

What to confirm before you go

Before spending money on travel, confirm the venue name, its current branding, and whether the property you want is the same one described here. The most reliable current channel is the property’s own location and contact page, which should show the live branding and mapping details.

If you need a route, parking details, live access arrangements, or lodging information, confirm those on the property’s official directions page or booking page rather than relying on a straight-line table. This article does not publish road mileage, turn-by-turn directions, hours, rates, or current operating details.

If your concern is whether the documented facility figures still match today, check the property’s current accommodations and amenities pages. Publicly published reference sources often preserve historical snapshots, while room totals, tower names, gaming inventory, and operator branding can all be revised later.

FAQ

Is this article measuring Harrah’s Rincon Casino specifically?

No. The documented venue attached to this topic is Harrah’s Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada, with coordinates 36.11944444, -115.17083333. So the article can only publish the straight-line distances that are documented for that site. If you meant a different Harrah’s property, this page cannot supply a mileage figure unless that exact venue and place pair is separately documented.

Why are there straight-line miles but no driving miles?

The published distance list for this venue is explicitly a great-circle set, meaning map-line separation between coordinates. Driving mileage depends on the road network, legal routing, detours, state-line crossings, and local access patterns, all of which make the real route longer. Because no road-mile figure is documented here, this article does not estimate one.

What is the simplest way to compare this venue with my own location?

Use the fixed venue coordinates, 36.11944444 and -115.17083333, in your map tool and then measure from your own starting point. If your location matches one of the reference points in the table, you can use the listed great-circle value as a map-line comparison. If it does not, this article cannot publish that pair’s distance.
