Treasure Island's Fixed Position and the Distances That Anchor It

The Fixed Point You Are Measuring From

Treasure Island Hotel and Casino sits at 36.12472222 north latitude and -115.17194444 west longitude, which places it in Paradise, Nevada, on the Las Vegas Strip. The venue opened on October 26, 1993, and publicly published reference sources document 2,885 hotel rooms at the property. Those figures describe a documented point in time, not today's condition after any rebuild or rebrand.

The keyword phrase in this query is about bingo, but this article is a geography explainer. It can tell you where the venue is fixed and how to measure distance to it. It cannot tell you how a specific game operates inside the building, because no game-mechanics facts are supplied for this property.

Straight-Line Distance Is Not Road Distance

The only distances this article publishes are great-circle distances, also called straight-line or as-the-crow-flies measurements. They are computed between two documented coordinate pairs and ignore every road, mountain, river, and state border in between. Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish road mileage, driving time, or any travel-time figure in any unit.

If you are planning to drive, fly, or take transit, treat the numbers below as a floor, not a route. The actual path you travel will add miles and time that no straight-line figure can capture.

Documented Straight-Line Distances to Reference Points

The table below lists every reference point for which a great-circle distance to Treasure Island is documented in this article's reference set. Each row uses the exact number supplied; no pair has been computed, averaged, or estimated here.

Why the Road Always Runs Longer

Straight-line distance is the shortest possible arc between two points on the earth's surface. A road cannot follow that arc. The difference between the two measurements comes from four structural factors, and every one of them applies to a venue on the Las Vegas Strip.

Terrain forces detours. The Spring Mountains sit west of the Las Vegas Valley, and any route arriving from California or the Pacific Northwest must climb or skirt them. Water bodies create choke points: a traveler from the east may cross the Colorado River system at a limited number of bridges, and each crossing adds miles that a straight line ignores. Road networks follow population corridors, not geodesics: interstates and state routes connect cities, and those connections rarely run in a direct line. Finally, state borders add legal and physical constraints: a route from Arizona into Nevada must pass through specific crossing points, and those points are fixed by infrastructure, not by the shortest line between two coordinates.

Where the Venue Sits Within Nevada

Paradise is an unincorporated town in Clark County, Nevada, directly south of the city of Las Vegas. The venue's coordinates place it on the east side of the Las Vegas Strip corridor. Using only the coordinate pair, the venue sits west of Henderson, north of Laughlin, and south of the city of Las Vegas proper. Those directional statements are supported by the straight-line figures in the table: Henderson is 12.3 great-circle miles away, Laughlin is 74.7, and Las Vegas is 3.5.

The property's fixed position means every distance question has one stable endpoint. What changes is the other endpoint: your starting point. A reader in Sacramento measures 386.4 straight-line miles; a reader in Phoenix measures 255.1; a reader in Denver measures 608.0. Each of those numbers describes the same venue from a different origin.

If Your Starting Point Is Not in the Table

This article cannot measure a pair that is not documented in its reference set. If your city or town does not appear above, the honest answer is that this article does not have that specific straight-line distance, and it will not estimate one. You can measure it yourself from the venue's fixed coordinates using any standard map tool, and you should treat the result as a straight-line figure, not a driving distance.

To get a road distance, use a routing tool that accounts for current road closures, traffic, and the route you intend to take. That tool will give you a number this article deliberately does not publish, because road mileage changes with route choice and conditions.

What to Confirm Before You Go

Several facts about this venue are changeable and are not published here. The hotel room count of 2,885 comes from publicly published reference sources and describes a documented point in time; a renovation or expansion can change it. Ownership and branding of casino properties change through sales and rebrands, so the name on the building may not match the name in an older reference. Operating hours, event schedules, and any bingo session times are live information that belongs to the property's own published channels.

Before traveling, check the property's own booking page or guest services line for current room availability and any resort fee that applies as a separate line. Confirm the venue's current name and operator, because this article's documented facts describe a specific point in time. For any game-specific question such as how bingo works at this property, the authoritative answer lives with the venue's own published rules or guest services, not in a geography article.

FAQ

Does this article explain how bingo works at Treasure Island?

No. This article is a geography and logistics explainer about the venue's fixed location and documented straight-line distances. It contains no game-mechanics facts for bingo or any other game at this property. For how a specific game operates, consult the venue's own published rules or guest services.

Why does the table list two entries for San Antonio and two for Houston?

The reference set contains separate entries for the city name and the city name with the state appended, and each pair carries its own documented straight-line distance. San Antonio and San Antonio Texas both measure 1071.8 great-circle miles; Houston and Houston Texas both measure 1227.1. They are listed separately because they arrived as separate documented pairs.

Can I use the straight-line miles to estimate my drive time?

No. Straight-line miles ignore terrain, water crossings, road routing, and state-border infrastructure, so they cannot be converted into driving time. Road distance is always longer, and travel time depends on route, traffic, and stops. Use a routing tool for road mileage and do not treat any figure in this article as a drive-time input.
