Treasure Island location guide: Paradise, Nevada distances and what they mean

3.5 miles straight-line separates the documented Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Paradise, Nevada, from Las Vegas. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The keyword here names a different Treasure Island property, and the published reference sources attached to this page carry a caution that the name matches more than one venue. Because of that, the only venue-specific facts this article can safely give are for the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Paradise, Nevada, at coordinates 36.12472222, -115.17194444; it cannot identify or measure the Red Wing property from the material available here.

Fixed position first

For this article, the venue with documented coordinates sits in Paradise, Nevada. Publicly published reference sources describe it as Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, also known as Treasure Island Las Vegas and TI, and place it on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise.

The useful planning point is that the venue's position is fixed, while a reader's starting point is not. If your search was really about Red Wing, this article cannot substitute one Treasure Island property for another, so treat the table below as a map of the Paradise, Nevada venue only.

Documented straight-line distances

Every figure in this table is a great-circle measurement from the documented Paradise, Nevada venue to a named reference point already present in public reference sources. Great-circle distance means a straight line on the globe, sometimes phrased as “as the crow flies,” and it is not the same thing as a road route.

Why straight-line miles and real trips differ

A straight line ignores the way people and vehicles must move through the real world. Roads bend around built-up areas, natural barriers, and land ownership patterns, so the path you can use on the ground is longer than the geometric line between two coordinates.

Terrain is one reason. Mountain ranges, valleys, and protected land can force a route to arc away from the direct line. Water is another: bridges and crossing points are limited, so a road trip may need a substantial detour even when two points look close on a map.

Road-network design also matters. Cities connect to each other through a hierarchy of local roads and longer intercity corridors, and those corridors are built for engineering and settlement patterns rather than for perfect geometric efficiency. Crossing state lines can add further routing constraints because the available links are determined by where roads and border crossings exist, not by where the shortest line lies.

That is why this article keeps the measurement type explicit. The figures above are useful for regional orientation and for comparing one reference point with another on a like-for-like basis, but they should not be read as drivable mileage.

Where the Paradise venue sits in regional terms

The documented coordinates place this venue in Paradise, in the state of Nevada. The same public reference sources place it on the Las Vegas Strip and identify Las Vegas as a nearby reference point with a straight-line distance of 3.5 miles.

Using only the coordinates, the venue lies west of Henderson because its longitude is more negative than Henderson's general position would be within the Las Vegas area, and the supplied distance of 12.3 straight-line miles shows Henderson as a nearby local reference. The venue is also in southern Nevada in the broad state-level sense implied by its Paradise and Las Vegas references, but this article does not infer any finer regional claims beyond the documented city, state, and coordinates.

If your own location is the moving part, use the coordinates 36.12472222, -115.17194444 in a mapping tool and compare that fixed point to your start. That will let you generate a current road route from your exact position without guessing from a city name that may not match where you are.

What this article can and cannot tell you about Red Wing

The search phrase mentions “treasure island resort & casino red wing,” but the documented venue row on this page is for Paradise, Nevada, not for a Red Wing property. Because the name is ambiguous across more than one property, this article cannot safely attach the Paradise room count, opening date, or distance table to Red Wing.

What it can do is show the method. First, identify the exact city and state of the venue you mean. Second, look for a published map or contact page from that operator that names the property unambiguously. Third, measure from your own starting point to that exact property rather than relying on a shared brand name.

Venue facts that are documented for the Paradise property

Publicly published reference sources describe the Paradise venue as having 2,885 hotel rooms and an opening date of October 26, 1993. Those figures describe a documented point in time; properties can be rebuilt, expanded, sold, or rebranded later, so current details should always be checked on the venue's own information pages.

The same source material says the resort is owned and operated by Phil Ruffin and that it was developed by Steve Wynn through Mirage Resorts. Ownership and branding can change over time, so treat that as historical and structural context rather than a guarantee of the current commercial setup on the day you read this.

What to confirm before you go

Before spending money on a trip, confirm that you have the right Treasure Island property. The safest source is the venue's own location or contact page, where the city and state should be stated clearly enough to distinguish Paradise, Nevada from any other property using the same or a similar name.

Then confirm the changeable items this article does not publish: current operating status, hotel availability, parking arrangements, venue hours, event schedules, and any live construction or access changes. Those answers belong on the property's own booking pages, venue information pages, or guest-services contact channel, because they can change after any static guide is written.

If you are measuring from your own location, use a map service with the fixed coordinates rather than a broad keyword search. That reduces the chance of landing on the wrong Treasure Island listing and gives you a route based on your actual starting point instead of a generic city-to-city estimate.

FAQ

Is this article about the Red Wing Treasure Island property?

No. The documented venue attached to this page is Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Paradise, Nevada, and the source material explicitly warns that the name matches more than one property. Because of that ambiguity, this article does not claim that the Paradise figures apply to Red Wing.

What does 3.5 miles from Las Vegas mean here?

It means 3.5 miles straight-line, also called great-circle distance, from the documented Paradise venue to Las Vegas. It is a geographic orientation figure, not a road route. Any trip you make on streets will be longer, and this article does not estimate driving mileage or travel time.

How do I measure from my own location if I searched “near me” or meant another city?

Use the fixed coordinates for the documented Paradise venue, 36.12472222 and -115.17194444, in a mapping tool, then enter your own starting point. That gives you a route from where you really are. If you meant a different Treasure Island property, first verify the city and state on the operator's own property page.
