The fixed venue this article can identify

The keyword asks about Hollywood Casino Bay St Louis, but the documented venue attached to this topic record is Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania. That means this article can describe the fixed location and published reference distances for the Grantville venue, not for a Mississippi property.

Publicly published reference sources place this venue at latitude 40.39666667 and longitude -76.65861111 in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Facility figures in those sources describe a documented point in time rather than a live status page, so they are best read as background context rather than a promise about today.

Location in plain geographic terms

The venue sits in Grantville, in the state of Pennsylvania. From the coordinates alone, its position is in the Northern Hemisphere and west of the prime meridian, which places it in the northwestern quadrant of the global coordinate grid.

Within the limited facts available here, the safest regional description is simply that it is in Pennsylvania and specifically in Grantville. The supplied source text also describes it as a horse racing track and casino located in Grantville, Pennsylvania.

Documented venue facts tied to place

The venue record gives an opening date of August 30, 1972. It also gives an ownership description stating that it is owned by Gaming and Leisure Properties and operated by Penn Entertainment.

For physical scale, the same reference set lists 2,480 slot machines and notes table games beginning operation on July 13, 2010. Because the table-games source is phrased as an operating start date rather than a count, it supports the fact that table games began then, not a current inventory figure.

Published straight-line distance table

Why straight-line miles and real travel do not match

A straight-line figure is the geometric shortest path between two coordinates over the earth's surface. Real trips follow roads, bridges, border crossings, street patterns, and allowed approaches, so the traveled distance is longer.

The gap grows when terrain blocks a direct path, when water requires a bridge or ferry, when the road network bends around built-up areas, and when crossing state lines changes the available routes. That is why a great-circle figure is useful for spatial comparison but not a substitute for route planning.

How to use these figures without overreading them

The strongest use of a straight-line table is comparison. If one reference point is listed at 92.0 miles and another at 264.8 miles, the first is geographically nearer in direct-line terms, even though the practical route could be shaped by very different roads.

That is also the limit of the method. The figures here do not tell you which trip is simpler, quicker, or easier; they only show fixed spatial separation from the Grantville coordinates to each listed reference point.

What this article cannot measure for this keyword

The phrase “Hollywood Casino Bay St Louis” does not match the documented Grantville venue name, city, or state in this record. Because there is no published Bay St Louis venue row here, this article cannot state the distance from that Mississippi property to any place, and it cannot compare Bay St Louis against Grantville as if they were the same site.

If your real question is about your own starting point, the venue location is fixed and your location is not. Use the documented coordinates, 40.39666667 and -76.65861111, in a map tool and then compare your own origin against the published reference points in the table above.

What to confirm before you go

Before any trip, confirm the venue name, the current property branding, and the map pin on the venue's own location or contact page. Casino properties can change branding and operating entities, and a name-level mismatch is the fastest way to end up checking the wrong destination.

Also confirm the live items this article does not publish: current opening hours, hotel availability, parking terms, event schedules, and any services tied to the property. The authoritative answers live on the venue's own pages for visiting, booking, events, and guest services.

FAQ

Is this article about the Mississippi Hollywood Casino Bay St Louis property?

No. The documented venue tied to this record is Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Because of that mismatch, this article can only present the fixed location, coordinates, and published straight-line reference distances for the Grantville venue.

Can I use the straight-line miles here as driving mileage?

No. Every mileage figure in the table is a great-circle measurement, meaning a direct line between coordinates rather than a traveled route. Road distance is always longer, and the exact route length depends on the available road network, crossings, detours, and your chosen starting point.

What is the simplest way to measure from my own location?

Take the documented coordinates for the Grantville venue, 40.39666667 and -76.65861111, and place them into a map service. Then compare your origin with the reference points already listed here so you can separate fixed geography from route-specific planning that only a live map can supply.
