Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The venue this article can document

The keyword names a different Hollywood Casino property, but the documented venue available for this article is Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Its published coordinates are 40.39666667 latitude and -76.65861111 longitude, and ownership is described in publicly published reference sources as owned by Gaming and Leisure Properties and operated by Penn Entertainment.

That means this article can give you the fixed position of the Grantville venue and the published straight-line distances tied to that position. It cannot measure the Missouri property named in the keyword, because no venue row for that site is available here.

Where the documented venue sits

The documented location is Grantville, Pennsylvania. From the coordinates alone, the site sits in the Northern Hemisphere and west of the prime meridian, which places it in the northwestern quadrant of the global coordinate grid and within the state named in the published location field.

Coordinates are the most stable way to identify a venue's fixed position because branding and ownership can change over time while latitude and longitude describe the same physical point. If you are comparing this venue with your own starting point, use the coordinates rather than a brand search result.

Documented venue facts at a glance

Publicly published reference sources describe this venue as opened on August 30, 1972. The same source set documents 2,480 slot machines, notes that table games began operation on July 13, 2010, and ties the property to Grantville, Pennsylvania.

Facility figures are point-in-time figures rather than a promise about the current layout. Casino properties are rebuilt, expanded, and reconfigured, so readers should treat these as documented reference figures rather than live operational data.

Published straight-line distance table

Why straight-line distance and real travel differ

A great-circle measurement is the shortest path between two coordinate points on the earth's surface. It is useful for orientation because it tells you how far apart places are in pure geographic terms, without mixing in route choice, detours, or transport mode.

Real travel is longer because roads and rail lines do not run as a perfect geometric line. Terrain, rivers, protected land, urban street patterns, bridge locations, one-way systems, and state-border crossings all force routing to bend away from the shortest possible line.

That difference matters most when readers mistake a straight-line figure for a practical trip estimate. The published caveat for this venue is explicit: these are great-circle distances, not driving miles, and driving is always longer.

How to use these figures if your own start point is different

The venue's position is fixed, but your position is not. If your starting point is not one of the reference points in the table, this article cannot invent a new distance pair, so the reliable method is to compare your own coordinates with the venue coordinates of 40.39666667 and -76.65861111 in a mapping tool that can display straight-line measurement.

This is especially important here because the keyword asks for a Missouri property, while the documented venue is in Pennsylvania. If you are trying to work out whether the place you want is the same venue, start with city and state first, then compare coordinates, then use current mapping tools for route planning.

What to confirm before you go

Before traveling, confirm that you have the right Hollywood-branded property, because the keyword and the documented venue do not match. The most reliable channels are the venue's own location page, its official contact page, and current mapping services that display the property name, city, and state together.

You should also confirm changeable details that this article does not publish: current operating hours, parking arrangements, hotel availability, event schedules, and any on-site amenity access rules. Those answers belong on the property's own pages or through its guest-services channel, not in a static location explainer.

FAQ

Is this article about the Hollywood Casino in Maryland Heights, Missouri?

No. The documented venue available here is Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Because the keyword names a different property, this article focuses on the Pennsylvania venue's fixed location and its published straight-line distance pairs, and it does not claim that those figures apply to the Missouri site.

Can I use the table to estimate my drive?

No. Every figure in the table is a great-circle measurement, which means a straight-line geographic separation between coordinates. Real travel follows roads, crossings, and local network constraints, so road mileage is longer. For an actual route, use a live mapping service after confirming you have selected the correct city and state.

What is the most reliable way to verify I found the right venue?

Match three things together: the property name, the city and state, and the coordinates if available. In this case, the documented venue is in Grantville, Pennsylvania at 40.39666667, -76.65861111. If a search result shows a different city or state, treat it as a different property until the venue's own location page confirms otherwise.
