Excalibur's Fixed Location and the Distances That Frame It

The One Number That Anchors This Venue

Excalibur Hotel and Casino sits 5.2 straight-line miles from Las Vegas, a figure that describes the shortest possible path across the map, not any road you would drive. That single measurement is the most useful starting point for understanding where this venue is, because every other distance in this article is measured from the same fixed coordinate pair: 36.09888889 north, -115.17555556 west.

Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance. This article does not publish driving mileage, and it does not publish travel time in any unit. The reason is simple: a straight line ignores the road network, and the road network is what a car follows.

Where the Venue Sits

Excalibur Hotel and Casino is located in Paradise, Nevada. Paradise is an unincorporated town in Clark County, immediately south of the Las Vegas city limits and part of the Las Vegas Valley. The venue opened on June 19, 1990, and its documented facility profile includes a 28-story hotel with 3,981 rooms, a casino floor with 2,630 slot machines, and more than 100 table games, according to publicly published reference sources. Figures of this kind are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded, so treat them as a documented point in time rather than a live count.

The venue is owned by Vici Properties and operated by MGM Resorts International. Ownership and branding of casino properties change through sales and rebrands, so confirm the current operating name before you rely on signage or directions.

Straight-Line Distances to Reference Cities

The table below lists every documented straight-line distance from Excalibur's fixed coordinates to a set of reference points. Each measurement is great-circle, meaning it follows the curvature of the earth along the shortest surface path. None of these numbers is a road distance.

Two pairs in the table deserve a note. Bourbon Street appears at 1.2 straight-line miles because the name resolves to a point in the Las Vegas area in the reference data, not the famous street in New Orleans. And Ford Field appears at the same 1761.7 straight-line miles as Detroit because the reference point resolves to that city's documented coordinates. If a pair you care about is not in the table, this article cannot measure that specific segment.

Why Straight-Line and Road Distance Diverge

A great-circle measurement is the shortest path across the surface of a sphere. A car cannot follow that path. The road network bends around mountain ranges, crosses rivers only at bridge points, and follows property lines and urban grids that were never laid out to minimise distance between two arbitrary cities.

For a venue in the Las Vegas Valley, the divergence is especially sharp for routes that cross the Sierra Nevada, the Mojave Desert, or the Colorado River. A straight line from Excalibur to San Francisco passes over terrain with no continuous road corridor, so the actual drive adds substantial length. The same is true for any route that must cross a state line, a national park boundary, or a military reservation, all of which force detours that a geometric line ignores.

Water is the other major factor. A straight line from Excalibur to a coastal city crosses no water, but a road route may have to run far inland to reach a bridge or a ferry crossing. The straight-line figure stays the same; the road figure grows. This is why no single multiplier converts straight-line miles into driving miles. The ratio depends entirely on the specific corridor.

How to Measure From Your Own Starting Point

The venue's position is fixed. Your position is not. If you are asking how far Excalibur is from where you are right now, the only honest answer is that this article cannot measure a segment whose second endpoint is unknown. What you can do is take the venue's documented coordinates and compare them against your own.

Open any mapping tool that accepts latitude and longitude, enter 36.09888889, -115.17555556 as the destination, and set your current location as the origin. The tool will return a road distance and a travel time that reflect the actual network, not a geometric line. Do not use the straight-line figures in the table above as a substitute for that road distance. They are useful for comparing relative proximity across cities, not for planning a drive.

What to Confirm Before You Go

Several things about this venue are changeable and should be confirmed through the property's own channels before you travel. The operating name and branding can change through sales or rebrands, even though the physical building remains at the same coordinates. The room count, machine count, and table game count are documented figures from a point in time, not live counts, and the property's own published materials will reflect any expansion or reconfiguration.

If your question is about keno pricing, this article cannot answer it. No keno price, minimum bet, or payout figure appears in the documented reference sources for this venue, and no such figure should be assumed from the venue's size or location. The property's own gaming floor, its published game information, or its guest services desk is the channel that holds the current answer. Ask before you sit down, because table and keno lounge minimums vary by day, by time, and by demand, and they are not published in any source this article can draw on.

FAQ

How far is Excalibur from the Las Vegas Strip?

Excalibur sits 5.2 straight-line miles from the reference point labelled Las Vegas in the documented distance set. That figure is a great-circle measurement, not a road distance. The venue is in Paradise, Nevada, immediately south of the Las Vegas city limits, so its position relative to the Strip corridor is better understood through a mapping tool than through a straight-line number.

Why doesn't this article give driving times?

Driving time depends on the road network, traffic, construction, and the specific origin, none of which a straight-line distance captures. This article publishes only great-circle distances between documented coordinate pairs. A mapping tool with your actual starting point is the correct way to get a road distance and a travel time.

Can I find out how much keno costs at Excalibur here?

No. No keno price, minimum, or payout figure is documented in the reference sources for this venue. Keno pricing changes by day and by demand, and the authoritative current answer lives on the property's own gaming floor or its published game information, not in a third-party geography article.
