The number that anchors this question
The D Las Vegas sits 0.1 straight-line miles from the Las Vegas reference point used in this article. That figure is a great-circle measurement, not a road distance. The road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any route.
Free Bet Blackjack is a table game, and table games live inside physical buildings. The building that matters here has a fixed position. The reader's position is the only variable, and that is why the distance doctrine below matters more than the game's rules.
The venue's documented position
The D Las Vegas is documented at latitude 36.16972222 and longitude -115.14277778. Those coordinates place it in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, at the eastern end of the Fremont Street Experience, according to publicly published reference sources. Facility figures are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded, so treat the counts below as a documented point in time.
The property opened on July 2, 1980, under the name Sundance Hotel, and is owned and operated by Derek and Greg Stevens. Documented facility figures include more than 1,000 slot machines and 22 table games across two floors. The venue's 639 hotel rooms and 42,000-square-foot casino floor appear in publicly published reference sources but are not part of the injected fact matrix for this article, so they are noted here only as context, not as measured fields.
Straight-line distances from the venue
Every distance below is a great-circle measurement between documented coordinates. None of them is a road distance. None of them implies a travel time.
| Reference point | Straight-line miles | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
This file documents 481 venues in total and is not a complete list of casinos in any city, county, state or country. The state gaming regulator holds the complete current list. Do not read the table above as a census of downtown Las Vegas; it is only the set of reference points measured for this article.
Why straight-line distance is not your walk or drive
A great-circle line ignores everything between two points. Downtown Las Vegas is flat, but the street grid is not a straight line. Fremont Street runs at an angle to the surrounding blocks, and pedestrian routes follow sidewalks, crosswalks, and the Fremont Street Experience canopy, none of which match a geometric line.
Road distance is also shaped by one-way streets, signal timing, and the fact that the reference point for Las Vegas is a single coordinate pair, not a driveway, a valet stand, or a parking garage entrance. The 0.1 straight-line miles to the Las Vegas reference point tells you almost nothing about where you will stand when you arrive. Your route is longer.
Water and terrain matter in other cities more than here. Las Vegas has no river crossing between these venues, but the principle holds everywhere: a straight line crosses property lines, buildings, and barriers that a road or sidewalk must route around. Cross-state boundaries add another layer, because a route may leave Nevada and re-enter it, adding distance that no great-circle figure captures.
Where the venue sits within the region
The coordinates place The D Las Vegas in the southern part of Nevada, within Clark County, in the downtown core rather than the Strip corridor. The Strip lies south and west of downtown, but this article does not state a driving distance to the Strip because that pair is not in the injected matrix. The documented reference points show the venue is closest to the Las Vegas reference point and to Four Queens, and farther from Stratosphere Tower and Jerry's Nugget, which sit 1.7 straight-line miles away.
Ownership and branding of casino properties change through sales and rebrands. The D Las Vegas was formerly Fitzgeralds, and the Horseshoe and Binion's entries share the same coordinates because they refer to the same physical building under different documented names. That is a naming artifact, not a measurement error.
If the question is really about the game, not the place
Free Bet Blackjack is a blackjack variant where the house funds certain double-down and split bets under fixed table rules. This article does not explain the game's rules, because the injected fact matrix contains no rule set for Free Bet Blackjack. The table rules live on the felt at each venue, and they differ between properties and between tables within a property.
What this article can tell you is where the venue is, how far it sits from documented reference points in straight-line terms, and why that measurement is not a travel plan. For the game itself, the authoritative source is the table layout at the property where you intend to play, or the pit boss on duty. No article can substitute for reading the felt.
What to confirm before you go
Table game availability changes. A venue may spread Free Bet Blackjack on some days and not others, or move it between pits. Before you travel, confirm directly with the property's own table games desk or guest services line whether the game is currently spread, at what minimum bet, and on which floor.
Also confirm the venue's current operating status. Publicly published reference sources document an opening date of July 2, 1980, but they do not document today's hours, and this article does not state them. The property's own published hours page is the channel that holds the current answer.
Finally, confirm your route. The straight-line figures above are not driving directions, and this article names no highways, exits, or transit lines. Use a mapping tool with your actual starting point to get road distance and travel time, and treat the great-circle figures here as orientation only.
FAQ
What is the straight-line distance from The D Las Vegas to the Las Vegas reference point?
0.1 miles, measured as a great-circle line between documented coordinates. Road distance is longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any route. Use a mapping tool with your actual starting point for a road figure.
