Las Vegas has 318 documented venue-to-city measurements in publicly published reference sources, but Sam's Casino in Las Vegas is not one of the venue pairs that can be stated here as a straight-line distance. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
The fixed point this article can document
The venue name in the query is not matched here to a documented venue record, so this article cannot give a venue-specific coordinate, opening date, owner, room count, machine count, or a measured distance for that exact property. What can be documented is the fixed position of Las Vegas itself: latitude 36.16916667 and longitude -115.14055556.
That means the useful answer is narrower than the query may suggest. The city position is fixed, while a reader's starting point and route are not, so the safest way to use this page is as a city-level location explainer rather than as a turn-by-turn guide to a named property.
What is and is not measurable here
Because no venue row is identified for Sam's Casino in Las Vegas, this article cannot measure the straight-line distance from that named venue to Las Vegas or to any other place. It also cannot infer that Sam's Casino is the same as any other listed property, even if a reader suspects a naming overlap.
What is available is a set of documented straight-line distances from the city of Las Vegas to several named venues. These are great-circle measurements only. They help show where documented venues sit relative to the city's coordinate point, but they do not answer road mileage and they should not be read as walking or driving distance.

The table above is the full set of venue pairs documented here for Las Vegas in nearest-first order. It is not a complete list of casinos in the city, and it should not be used to claim a total number of venues in Las Vegas.
How to read straight-line distance correctly
A straight-line figure is the shortest path between two coordinate points across the earth's surface. It is useful for orientation because it shows whether a place is physically close to a reference point without the distortions created by street layout or route choice.
Actual road distance is longer because real trips follow the road network rather than a geometric line. The gap can widen when streets do not run directly between the two points, when access is limited, when land uses force detours, or when a route must go around barriers rather than through them.
In general, the same issue appears anywhere terrain, water, one-way systems, private land, rail corridors, bridges, or jurisdictional boundaries shape the route. Even when two places look very close on a map, the usable path can still bend around obstacles, which is why this article keeps straight-line and road distance separate.
Where Las Vegas sits in fixed geographic terms
The city documented here is Las Vegas, in the state of Nevada. Its coordinate pair, 36.16916667 and -115.14055556, is the stable reference point behind the venue-to-city measurements shown above.
Using only the listed coordinates, the nearest documented venues in the table sit slightly west of the city's reference point because their longitude values are more negative than the city's longitude. Some also sit slightly north of the city point because their latitude values are higher than 36.16916667, while others are nearly level with it.
For example, d las vegas and four queens share the same latitude value of 36.16972222, which places them a little north of the city reference, and both have longitude values west of the city point. Horseshoe and binion's, at 36.17138889 and -115.14444444, also plot north and west of the city coordinate.
Golden Nugget Las Vegas, at 36.17083333 and -115.14472222, likewise sits north and west of the city point. These are directional readings from coordinates only, not route instructions.
What can be said about nearby documented venues
Although this article is not about those properties as destinations, the documented records do show how some nearby Las Vegas venues have been described at a point in time by publicly published reference sources. Those figures can change as properties are rebuilt, rebranded, sold, or reconfigured.
| Venue | Documented field | Value |
|---|---|---|
| d las vegas | slot machines | 1,000 |
| d las vegas | table games | 22 |
| d las vegas | opened | July 2, 1980 |
| four queens | slot machines | 105 |
| four queens | hotel rooms | 115 |
| four queens | opened | June 2, 1966 |

| golden nugget las | hotel rooms | 2,419 |
| golden nugget las | opened | 1984 |

That comparison does not identify Sam's Casino in Las Vegas. It simply shows the kind of venue-level facts that are available for some nearby documented properties, while the queried venue itself remains unmatched here.
If you are trying to locate Sam's Casino specifically
The practical point is simple: the venue's location is fixed, but your position is not. To measure from your own starting point, first confirm the exact modern property name on the venue's own contact or location page, then compare that confirmed map point with your own location in a mapping tool.
If the property has rebranded, closed, moved, or is known under another name, a city-level article cannot safely guess the match. That is why this page stops at the documented city coordinate and the venue pairs that are explicitly published for Las Vegas.
What to confirm before you go
Before spending money on a trip, confirm the exact venue identity first. The current answer should come from the property's own location page, contact page, or guest services channel, because venue names and branding can change.
Also confirm the items that are inherently changeable and therefore not stated here:
- whether the property is operating under the same name
- its current entrance and parking arrangements
- its present opening hours
- any room availability, fees, or other on-site charges
- whether the map pin used by your navigation app matches the venue's own published location
For a complete current list of casinos in the relevant jurisdiction, check the state, provincial, or tribal gaming regulator rather than relying on a partial venue list. This matters because the documented venue set used here is not a census of every casino in Las Vegas.
FAQ
Can this article tell me exactly where Sam's Casino in Las Vegas is?
Not exactly. The query names a venue, but no matching venue record is identified here, so this page cannot publish a venue-specific coordinate or a measured straight-line distance for that property. What it can document is the city position of Las Vegas and the nearby venue pairs that are explicitly measured to that city point.
Why not convert the listed straight-line miles into driving distance?
Because straight-line and road distance are different measurements. Road routes depend on the street network, access points, barriers, and route choice, so converting one into the other without a documented source would create unsupported travel information. This page therefore labels every listed mileage as great-circle and leaves current route calculation to the reader's mapping tool.
Does the nearby-venues table mean those are the only casinos in Las Vegas?
No. The documented list here is explicitly not a complete census of casinos in the city. It only shows the venue pairs and venue records that are available in publicly published reference sources for this article. For a full and current jurisdiction-wide list, the better source is the relevant gaming regulator.
