Horseshoe Casino Vegas: Fixed Location and Straight-Line Distance Guide

From this venue, the documented straight-line distances include 240.4 miles to LAX, 386.3 miles to Sacramento, 416.3 miles to San Francisco, 1226.4 miles to Houston, 1521.5 miles to Chicago, and 2227.8 miles to NYC, all straight-line. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or any travel time.

The fixed point this article is describing

The place tied to the keyword here is the venue publicly referenced as Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel, with the alias “horseshoe.” Its documented coordinates are 36.17138889, -115.14444444.

Those coordinates place the venue in Nevada. Using the coordinates alone, the site sits north of the Equator and west of the Prime Meridian, which is enough to describe it as being in the western United States without inventing any street-level routing details.

The venue also has a documented historical hotel figure of 366 rooms in publicly published reference sources, with the source text noting that the hotel closed in 2009. Facility figures like room counts describe a documented point in time and can change as properties are rebuilt, repurposed, or reconfigured.

A published reference source also ties the hotel design to the original Hotel Apache that opened in 1932. Ownership is documented in published reference sources as TLC Casino Enterprises, and ownership or branding can change over time through sale, lease, or rebrand.

Documented straight-line distances

The table below lists every injected venue-to-reference pairing available for this article. Every figure is a great-circle measurement, which means a straight line between coordinates rather than a road route.

Why straight-line distance and real travel differ

A great-circle figure is a geometry measurement between two coordinate points. It is useful for orientation because it shows relative closeness in a consistent way across many places, but it is not the same thing as a route a person can drive or ride.

Real travel is longer because roads do not run as straight lines between two sets of coordinates. They bend around built-up areas, private land, grade changes, one-way systems, mountain barriers, water crossings, and the shape of the available road network.

Cross-state travel can add further detours because the practical route follows the network that exists, not the shortest line on a globe. That is why this article keeps every mileage figure explicitly labelled as straight-line and does not convert any of them into road miles or journey times.

How to read the venue's position in regional terms

The coordinates 36.17138889, -115.14444444 give the fixed position of the venue itself. That fixed point does not move even if branding, ownership, room inventory, or surrounding development changes.

Because the site is in Nevada and has a west longitude, it belongs to the western side of the contiguous United States in broad regional terms. The latitude places it in the Northern Hemisphere, so it is north of the Equator; the longitude places it west of Greenwich, so it is in the Western Hemisphere.

That kind of coordinate reading is the safest way to explain relative position without inventing unsupported local directions, road names, or neighborhood claims. If you need a map-level view from your own starting point, use these coordinates in your preferred mapping tool and compare them with your own origin point.

The keyword and the venue name

The search phrase uses “horseshoe casino vegas,” but the documented venue row here is Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel with the alias “horseshoe.” That means this article can describe the fixed place attached to that documented venue entry, not any other property that a reader might have in mind from a similar brand name.

That distinction matters when you compare distances or try to plan where a place sits. Distance matrices only work when the starting point and the destination are both clearly identified, and this article only publishes the pairings that are already documented for this venue entry.

What to confirm before you go

Before travelling, confirm the changeable parts directly through the venue's own official channels. The items most likely to change are current hotel availability, whether hotel rooms are in service, venue branding, parking arrangements, food service, event access, and any on-site policies that affect arrival.

If you are comparing this location with another property, confirm that you are looking at the same named venue and not a similarly branded one. Publicly published reference sources can preserve older room counts, older ownership snapshots, and historical opening references even when a property has been altered later.

If your real question is “how far is it from me,” this article cannot resolve “me” because your origin is not a fixed published reference point. The practical method is to place the venue coordinates 36.17138889, -115.14444444 into a map, enter your own starting point, and then compare that route result with the straight-line figures in the table above.

FAQ

Is this article giving driving distance to Horseshoe Casino Vegas?

No. It gives only documented straight-line, or great-circle, distances from the venue entry tied to the keyword. Road mileage is always longer and depends on the route network, so this article does not publish driving distance or any travel time.

Where is the venue in fixed geographic terms?

The documented venue is Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel, using the alias “horseshoe,” at coordinates 36.17138889, -115.14444444 in Nevada. In broad geographic terms, that places it in the western United States, north of the Equator and west of the Prime Meridian.

Can I use the table to compare my city with the venue?

Only if your city or reference point appears in the documented table. If it does not, this article cannot measure that pair. In that case, use the venue coordinates in a mapping tool, enter your own origin, and read the route result there rather than inferring from another city.
