The Question Starts With a Location, Not a Game
The city of Las Vegas is documented at 36.16916667 latitude and -115.14055556 longitude, and the nearest documented venue to that point is D Las Vegas at 0.1 straight-line miles. Straight-line means great-circle distance, the shortest path across the surface of the earth, not a road route. Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any pair.
Whether high-stakes bingo exists in Las Vegas is a question about what a specific property currently offers, and current offerings are not part of this article's documented facts. What can be answered precisely is where the city sits, which documented venues are nearest to its center point, and how those fixed positions relate to each other in straight-line terms.
The Venue Set Is Not a Census
The reference file behind this article documents 481 venues in total, and that is not a complete list of casinos in any city, county, state, or country. The file records 318 venues measured to Las Vegas, but that number describes what the file contains, not how many casinos exist in Las Vegas. For a complete current list, the reader should consult the state, provincial, or tribal gaming regulator for Nevada.
Because the query does not identify a single venue, this article does not state opening hours, room rates, resort fees, buffet prices, or facility counts for any one property beyond the documented fields supplied. The focus here is the fixed geography of the city and the documented downtown venues nearest to its center point.
Documented Straight-Line Distances From Las Vegas Center
The table below lists every venue-to-city pair present in the documented distance set, with the measurement type stated for each row. All figures are great-circle distances, not road miles.
| Reference Point | Straight-Line Miles | Measurement Type |
|---|---|---|
| D Las Vegas | 0.1 | great-circle |
| Four Queens | 0.2 | great-circle |
| Horseshoe | 0.3 | great-circle |
| Golden Nugget Las Vegas | 0.3 | great-circle |
| Binion's | 0.3 | great-circle |
| Golden Gate | 0.4 | great-circle |
| Main Street | 0.4 | great-circle |
| Main Street Station | 0.4 | great-circle |
| Stratosphere Tower | 1.7 | great-circle |
| Jerry's Nugget | 1.7 | great-circle |
Every figure above is a straight-line measurement between two documented coordinate pairs. None of them is a driving distance. The closest documented venue to the Las Vegas center point is D Las Vegas at 0.1 straight-line miles; the farthest in this set is Stratosphere Tower and Jerry's Nugget, each at 1.7 straight-line miles.
Why Straight-Line and Road Distance Diverge
A straight-line distance ignores everything that a vehicle must cross. The great-circle path between two points may pass over terrain that has no road, through buildings, across water, or over land where no public right-of-way exists. The road network, by contrast, follows engineered corridors, intersections, and legal access points, which almost always add length.
In an urban core like downtown Las Vegas, the divergence comes from the street grid itself. A vehicle cannot travel diagonally across blocks; it must follow the grid, turn at intersections, and respect one-way designations. The straight-line figure between two downtown venues may be a fraction of a mile, while the shortest legal driving route between the same two points is longer, sometimes materially so. Topography, rail corridors, pedestrian malls, and private parcels can all force additional detours.
Crossing a state boundary adds another layer. A straight-line measurement does not care about jurisdictional lines, but a road route must enter and exit through actual crossings, which are limited in number and rarely placed exactly where the straight line would run. The reader should treat every straight-line figure in this article as a geometric fact, not a travel plan.
Where Las Vegas Sits and How It Relates to the Region
Las Vegas is documented at 36.16916667 north latitude and -115.14055556 west longitude. The negative longitude places it in the western hemisphere, and the latitude places it in the northern hemisphere, in the state of Nevada. The coordinates alone support directional statements: the city sits west of the prime meridian and north of the equator.
Within the documented venue set, the downtown cluster is tightly packed. D Las Vegas, Four Queens, Horseshoe, Golden Nugget Las Vegas, Binion's, Golden Gate, Main Street, and Main Street Station all sit within 0.4 straight-line miles of the city center point. Stratosphere Tower and Jerry's Nugget are farther out, each at 1.7 straight-line miles. The directional relationship among these venues can be read from their coordinates: D Las Vegas and Four Queens share nearly identical latitude and longitude, differing only in the third and fourth decimal places, which places them essentially adjacent in the downtown grid.
For a reader trying to understand the region, the useful frame is that downtown Las Vegas is a compact area where the documented venues sit within roughly two straight-line miles of the city center point. The surrounding metropolitan area extends well beyond this documented set, but those farther venues are not part of this article's distance table.
If Your Starting Point Is "Me" or "Here"
The query may carry an implied "from me" or "from my location," but that reference point does not exist in any documented form. This article cannot measure from an unknown origin. The venue positions are fixed; a reader's starting point is not, and no article can compute a distance to a point it has not been given.
The correct method is to treat the venue's coordinates as the fixed end of the measurement and the reader's own position as the variable end. A reader who wants a straight-line figure from their own location can take the documented coordinates of the venue, take their own coordinates from a map or device, and compute the great-circle distance between the two pairs. That computation is straightforward and does not require this article to guess a city.
For road distance, the reader should use a mapping tool that accepts two addresses or coordinate pairs and returns a driving route. That tool will account for the actual road network, current closures, and legal turn restrictions in a way that no static article can. The straight-line figures in this article are a geometric reference, not a substitute for a route query.
What the Documented Venue Facts Show
Several downtown venues have documented facility fields, and those fields are worth separating from the distance question. D Las Vegas is documented with 1,000 slot machines and 22 table games, and its opening date is documented as July 2, 1980, with ownership attributed to Derek and Greg Stevens. Four Queens is documented with 105 slot machines and 115 hotel rooms, opened June 2, 1966, with ownership attributed to Elsinore Corporation.
Horseshoe and Binion's share the same documented coordinates, 36.17138889 latitude and -115.14444444 longitude, and both carry a documented hotel room count of 366 and an opening year of 1932. Golden Nugget Las Vegas is documented with 2,419 hotel rooms and an opening year of 1984, with ownership attributed to Landry's. These figures are documented points in time and are revised as properties are rebuilt or expanded.
None of these documented fields answers the bingo question. Slot machine counts, table game counts, hotel room counts, opening dates, and ownership names are structural facts about a venue, not a current schedule of games offered. A reader who wants to know whether any of these properties currently runs high-stakes bingo must check the property's own current listings.
What to Confirm Before You Go
The changeable items a reader should confirm directly with a venue are the ones this article cannot state: whether bingo is offered at all, what stakes are in play, what days and hours sessions run, and what the buy-in structure is. These are live operational facts that change without notice and are not part of any documented static record.
The authoritative channel for current bingo offerings is the venue's own published schedule or its guest services desk. A reader should confirm the game exists before traveling, confirm the session times on the specific date of travel, and confirm the stakes, because a property may run bingo at one stake level on weekdays and another on weekends, or suspend it entirely during a renovation or event period.
For the state's complete current list of licensed venues, the reader should consult the Nevada gaming regulator. That channel, not this article, holds the authoritative and current roster.
FAQ
Does this article say whether high-stakes bingo exists in Las Vegas?
No. The article documents fixed geography and structural venue facts only. Whether any specific property currently offers high-stakes bingo is a live operational question that changes without notice. The reader must check the venue's own current schedule or contact its guest services desk to confirm the game, stakes, and session times before traveling.
What is the closest documented venue to the Las Vegas center point?
D Las Vegas is documented at 0.1 straight-line miles from the Las Vegas center point, measured great-circle between the two coordinate pairs. That is a geometric distance, not a road distance. The actual walking or driving route between the same two points is longer and depends on the street grid, closures, and legal access points.
Why are the distances in the table so small?
Because the documented set measures downtown venues against the city center point, and downtown Las Vegas is compact. Eight documented venues sit within 0.4 straight-line miles of the center point. Straight-line miles ignore the road network, so a figure like 0.1 or 0.3 describes geometric proximity, not how long it takes to get there by any mode of travel.
