The fixed point this article can identify

The keyword asks for "Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg," but the publicly published reference sources tied to this article point to a different named property: Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Its documented coordinates are 40.39666667, -76.65861111, and its documented location is Grantville, Pennsylvania.

That matters because a distance article is only useful when the starting point is fixed. This venue's position is fixed in Grantville, in the state of Pennsylvania, and the distance table below only covers the reference points that have documented straight-line pairs for this specific venue.

Documented straight-line distances

Why straight-line distance and road distance diverge

A straight-line figure is a geometric measurement between coordinates. It ignores the shape of the road network, the need to go around terrain, the effect of water crossings, and the way state lines and settlement patterns can push real routes away from the shortest possible line.

That is why the same venue can be a modest straight-line distance from one reference point but still involve a much longer real journey on the ground. Publicly published reference sources for this article explicitly note that these are great-circle distances, not driving miles, and that driving is always longer.

For a reader planning a trip, the practical use of the table is comparison, not navigation. It shows which reference points are geographically nearer or farther in pure spatial terms, while route planners and mapping tools are the right place to verify the road mileage that applies on the day you travel.

Where the venue sits in regional terms

The documented location places this venue in Grantville, Pennsylvania. The coordinates 40.39666667, -76.65861111 fix it in that state, and they are the most stable way to identify the site when names, branding, or nearby landmarks change over time.

The source material also describes the property as Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course. Publicly published reference sources can revise venue figures and branding over time, so the safest reading is that this article identifies the physical place first and the current branding second.

Beyond the city and state, this article avoids unsupported regional claims. If you need to place the venue relative to your own starting point, use the coordinates above in a mapping tool and compare them with your own location rather than relying on an undocumentable "near me" assumption.

Venue scale and identity at a documented point in time

Publicly published reference sources describe this property as having over 2,480 slot machines as of July 2010. The same source sentence mentions fifty-four tables, but the structured venue row supplied for this article lists table games as 2010 because July 13, 2010 is the documented date when table games began operation, not a documented current table count.

The venue's documented opening date is August 30, 1972. Its ownership line in the source material states that it is owned by Gaming and Leisure Properties and operated by Penn Entertainment, while the venue row truncates the operator field, so the source sentence is the clearest published wording for the business structure attached to this place.

What to confirm before you go

If you are using this article to decide whether the venue is convenient, confirm the live details elsewhere before spending money on a trip. The items that change are road mileage, route conditions, parking arrangements, current branding, and any on-site services you expect to use.

The authoritative current answers live on the venue's own location and contact pages, its booking or guest-services channels where relevant, and current mapping tools for route measurement. The most common mistake is treating a straight-line number as if it were a road number; this article does not do that conversion.

If your original question was specifically about "Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg," this article cannot confirm that pair because the documented venue here is in Grantville, Pennsylvania, not Lawrenceburg. In that situation, use the fixed coordinates and documented city-state here as a cross-check before assuming two similarly branded properties are the same place.

FAQ

Can this article tell me how far the venue is by car?

No. It only publishes documented straight-line measurements between this venue and the listed reference points. Road distance is always longer, and the exact road mileage depends on the route network, detours, crossings, and other conditions that a static distance table does not capture.

Is the venue in Lawrenceburg?

The documented property in this article is not identified that way. The published reference sources here point to Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania, with coordinates 40.39666667, -76.65861111. Because casino branding can repeat across different places, the city and coordinates matter more than the shared brand word.

What is the most reliable way to measure from my own location?

Start with the venue's fixed coordinates and documented city and state, then compare them with your own current location in a mapping tool. That gives you a route-specific answer for your actual starting point. This article can help you orient the venue geographically, but it does not guess where "my location" is.
