Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course location and straight-line distances

140.9 miles straight-line separates this venue from NYC, based on the documented great-circle pair for the Hollywood Casino venue in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The keyword asks about “hollywood casino bangor maine,” but the documented venue here is Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania, not a Maine property. Because this article can only use the documented venue and documented distance pairs, it can fix this Pennsylvania venue’s position and list its published straight-line reference distances, but it cannot measure a Bangor, Maine pair that is not present.

The fixed point this article can document

The venue documented in publicly published reference sources is Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course, with coordinates 40.39666667, -76.65861111. Those coordinates place the venue in Grantville, Pennsylvania.

Publicly published reference sources also describe the property as located in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Ownership and branding of casino properties can change over time, so venue identity, operating entity, and branding should always be checked again on the property’s own current information pages before a trip.

Documented straight-line distance pairs

The table below lists the full set of venue-to-reference-point pairs available for this venue in the injected distance matrix. Every figure is a great-circle measurement, which means straight-line rather than road distance.

Why straight-line and real-world travel differ

A straight-line figure is a geometric measurement between two coordinate points. It is useful for fixing relative position, comparing reference points on the same basis, and avoiding the false precision that comes from guessing a road route that may vary by start point, destination entrance, detours, and border crossings.

Real-world travel is longer because roads do not follow a perfect line. They bend around terrain, water, private land, built-up areas, and the practical shape of the road network. State borders can matter too, because route options, crossings, and network density change as a trip passes from one state into another.

That is why this article labels every mileage figure as straight-line or great-circle. It also means a reader should not convert any of these numbers into driving mileage or into a time estimate.

Where the venue sits within Pennsylvania

The documented coordinates place this venue in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Using those coordinates and the state name alone, the safe conclusion is that the property has a fixed position in Pennsylvania and can be compared consistently against other documented reference points.

The publicly published reference description also places the venue in Grantville, Pennsylvania. For regional orientation, the distance matrix shows straight-line pairs to places such as Washington DC, NYC, Manhattan, Toronto, Chicago, and several casino reference points, which helps a reader understand the venue’s broader position without introducing unsupported road claims.

What the facility figures describe

Publicly published reference sources describe the venue with 2,480 slot machines and table games beginning operation in 2010. Those figures are point-in-time facility facts rather than live operational promises, and facility counts can change as a property is rebuilt, expanded, or reconfigured.

The published opening date for the track is August 30, 1972. Publicly published reference sources also state that it is owned by Gaming and Leisure Properties and operated by Penn Entertainment.

How to use this article if your own starting point is different

Your location is not fixed in this article; the venue’s location is. If you were searching for a different Hollywood Casino, including one in Maine, this page cannot substitute a different property or guess the missing pair.

The practical way to use the information here is to take the venue coordinates, 40.39666667 and -76.65861111, and compare them with your own start point in any mapping tool you trust. Then confirm the current entrance, parking, and routing details on the venue’s own contact or directions page, because those are live operational matters and can change.

What to confirm before you go

Before travelling, confirm that you are looking at the correct property name and state. This matters especially here because the search phrase mentions Bangor, Maine, while the documented venue is in Grantville, Pennsylvania.

You should also confirm the current branding, operator name, available guest access points, parking arrangements, and any live operational details on the property’s own official pages. Current hours, event schedules, room availability, and any route guidance belong there rather than in a fixed geography article.

FAQ

Can this article tell me the distance from Bangor, Maine to this venue?

No. The documented distance matrix for this venue does not include a Bangor, Maine pair, so this article cannot measure that segment. What it can do is identify the documented venue as being in Grantville, Pennsylvania at coordinates 40.39666667, -76.65861111 and list the straight-line pairs that are available.

Why does the table use straight-line miles instead of driving miles?

Straight-line miles are fixed geometric measurements between coordinates, so they can be published without guessing a route. Driving mileage depends on the exact road network, the chosen entrance, detours, and other live conditions. For that reason, road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving miles or time estimates.

Is the venue in Maine because the keyword says Bangor Maine?

No. The documented venue in this article is Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania. The keyword appears to point toward a different property or a misdirected search, and this page does not guess substitutes. It stays with the documented Pennsylvania venue and the distance pairs that are explicitly available for it.
