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

The fixed point behind the query

The keyword says “hollywood casino wv,” but the documented venue here is Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Its published coordinates are 40.39666667, -76.65861111, which place the venue in Pennsylvania rather than West Virginia.

That matters because distance questions only make sense when the venue itself is pinned to a fixed point. If a reader is trying to work out whether this is the same property they have in mind, the safest identifiers are the venue name, Grantville as the city, Pennsylvania as the state, and the coordinates.

Documented straight-line distances

The table below lists every documented reference pair available for this venue. Each mileage is a great-circle measurement, which means a straight line over the earth rather than a road route.

Why straight-line distance and real travel differ

A straight-line figure is useful because it fixes spatial relationships cleanly. It tells you how far two points are apart in geometric terms, without assuming a transport mode or a particular route.

Real travel is longer because roads do not move in perfect lines between coordinates. Terrain, water crossings, local street patterns, one-way systems, border crossings between states, and the need to connect to the available road network all add distance compared with a great-circle line.

That is why this article keeps the measurement type explicit. The published caveat for these figures is that they are great-circle distances, not driving miles, and driving is always longer.

Where the venue sits in regional terms

The venue is documented in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Using the published coordinates, it sits in the Northern Hemisphere and in the western half of the globe, which places it north of the equator and west of the prime meridian.

Within the state-level description available here, the reliable location statement is simply Grantville in Pennsylvania. Publicly published reference sources also describe the property as a horse racing track and casino located in Grantville, Pennsylvania, and facility figures such as machine counts can change over time as properties are rebuilt or reconfigured.

How to use this if your starting point is not listed

This article can only measure the reference pairs that are documented above. If the place you want to compare against is not one of those entries, this page cannot publish that straight-line distance.

The practical workaround is simple: use the venue’s fixed coordinates, 40.39666667 and -76.65861111, as one point and measure from your own starting point in any map tool that can display coordinate-based distance. That avoids guessing and keeps your comparison tied to the same fixed location used throughout this article.

This is especially important because the keyword includes “wv,” which could point a reader toward the wrong state. The venue covered here is not identified in West Virginia; it is identified in Grantville, Pennsylvania.

Venue scale and identity at a documented point in time

For readers trying to confirm they have the right property, the venue record includes more than coordinates. Publicly published reference sources describe the property as having over 2,480 slot machines as of July 2010, with table games beginning operation on July 13, 2010, and the track opening on August 30, 1972.

Ownership and operation are described in those same sources as owned by Gaming and Leisure Properties and operated by Penn Entertainment. Those identity details help distinguish the Grantville venue from other properties that use the Hollywood Casino name in other places.

What to confirm before you go

Before setting out, confirm the venue name, city, and state on the property’s own location or contact page so you do not confuse this Grantville, Pennsylvania property with another similarly branded casino. If you need a route, use a live map service from your own starting point rather than relying on straight-line mileage.

You should also verify any changeable details that this article does not publish: current hours, parking arrangements, hotel availability, event schedules, and any on-site amenity access rules. The authoritative source for those items is the property’s own official channels, such as its directions page, contact page, booking page, or guest services desk.

FAQ

Is “Hollywood Casino WV” the same place as the Grantville venue?

Not on the documented location details used here. This article covers Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania, with coordinates 40.39666667, -76.65861111. If you were looking for a property in West Virginia, this page cannot assume that match and you should confirm the city and state on the venue’s own official location page.

Can I use these mile figures as driving distance?

No. Every mileage figure in this article is labeled as straight-line or great-circle distance. Road travel is longer because routes must follow the available network and work around terrain, water, and other constraints. For real trip planning, check a live mapping service from your own starting point rather than converting these figures into road miles or travel time.

What if the place I want to compare is not in the table?

Then this article cannot measure that pair. It only publishes the documented straight-line distances listed above. The reliable way to continue is to use the venue’s fixed coordinates together with your own starting point in a map tool that supports coordinate-based measurement, then compare that result with the published reference points here.
