The one distance this article can document
For the keyword here, the measurable part is limited. Publicly published reference sources document Las Vegas at coordinates 36.16916667, -115.14055556, and they document a straight-line distance of 1.7 miles from that city reference point to Stratosphere Tower.
This matters because a straight-line figure is a map geometry measurement, not a route you can drive, ride, or walk. If you need the route you would really take, you have to check a live mapping service from your own start point.

Why the road distance will be longer
Straight-line distance connects two coordinates directly across the map. Real trips follow streets, property lines, one-way systems, access points, and whatever detours the local road network imposes.
That gap between the straight line and the real route can widen for several reasons: terrain, water, private land, limited access roads, and simple street-grid indirectness. In some regions, state borders also affect route choice, although this article does not measure any specific road path.
So the 1.7-mile figure is useful for orientation, not for estimating a drive. It tells you the venue reference is nearby in geographic terms, while still leaving route length and travel conditions to live map tools.
Where this sits in fixed geographic terms
The city reference point used here is Las Vegas, Nevada. Its documented coordinates are 36.16916667 latitude and -115.14055556 longitude.
Within the set documented in these public reference sources, Stratosphere Tower is one of the named venue references measured to this city. Because the query is about a Las Vegas venue and the measurable pair supplied is Las Vegas to Stratosphere Tower, the safest fixed-position statement is that this reference lies in Las Vegas, Nevada, at a documented straight-line distance of 1.7 miles from the city reference point used here.
The same source file also makes an important scope point: it documents 318 venue-to-city measurements for Las Vegas, but it is not a census of every casino in the city or state. If you need a complete current venue list rather than a measured sample, the right place to confirm that is the relevant state or tribal gaming authority.
Nearby documented venue context around the Las Vegas city reference
Although this article cannot add new measurements that are not explicitly documented, the surrounding entries help show the local pattern around the Las Vegas city reference point. Several downtown properties are listed at very short straight-line ranges from the city coordinate, while Stratosphere Tower appears farther out in the same measured set.

This table is not a ranking and not a full inventory. It is simply the set of nearest documented venue references supplied for this city reference point.
What can and cannot be said about the venue itself
The keyword names a Las Vegas Stratosphere casino, but the publicly published reference sources supplied for this article do not include a full venue record for Stratosphere Tower with coordinates, opening date, owner, room count, machine count, or other property details. Because of that, this article should be read as a location explainer anchored to the documented city-to-venue distance, not as a full property profile.
That distinction matters if you are planning a trip. Without a venue row, this article cannot safely publish property-specific figures such as gaming floor size, room inventory, opening date, or current operating details.
How to use this distance in practice
If your real question is whether the venue is close to central Las Vegas, the documented straight-line figure answers that in a limited way: 1.7 miles straight-line is geographically close to the city reference point used here. But it does not answer how you would approach the property on the ground.
To turn this into a practical trip check, use the venue name and the fixed city coordinates as a verification step in a live map. Then compare route options from your own actual starting point, because your hotel, airport, neighborhood, or highway entry point can change the real route substantially.
What to confirm before you go
Several details a traveler usually wants are changeable and are not documented here. Before leaving, confirm the venue's current address presentation, parking arrangement, entrance access, hotel availability, and current operating information on the property's own official site or guest-services contact channel.
If you are trying to compare distance from your own location, enter your actual starting point into a live map rather than relying on city-center geometry. If you need a complete and current list of casinos in Las Vegas or Nevada, check the relevant gaming authority rather than treating this measured sample as exhaustive.
FAQ
Is the Stratosphere casino in Las Vegas close to downtown?
The documented figure available here is 1.7 miles straight-line from the Las Vegas city reference point to Stratosphere Tower. That supports a general geographic reading that it is relatively near the city reference used in the measurement, but it does not provide road mileage, route choice, or travel time.
Can this article tell me how far the venue is by car?
No. The only published measurement available here is straight-line, also called great-circle distance. Road distance is always longer, and the exact route depends on your starting point, street access, and live road conditions, so you should check a current mapping service for any real trip planning.
Does this article identify the exact casino property details for Stratosphere?
No full venue row for Stratosphere Tower is included in the reference material used for this article. That means this page can document the Las Vegas-to-Stratosphere straight-line measurement and the city's fixed coordinates, but not venue-specific items like rooms, gaming inventory, owner, hours, or pricing.
