The Fixed Point Is Downtown Las Vegas
The documented casinos nearest to the Las Vegas city center sit within 0.1 to 1.7 miles of it, measured straight-line. The D Las Vegas is 0.1 miles straight-line from the city reference point, the closest of the documented set. Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving miles or travel times.
A reader searching for keno in Las Vegas is really asking two different questions: which venues offer the game, and where those venues sit. The first question changes constantly and is not documented here. The second is fixed geography, and that is what this article can give you.
What the Documented Set Shows
The venue file for this topic documents a small cluster of downtown Las Vegas properties, all within roughly two miles of the city center as the crow flies. These are not all the casinos in Las Vegas, and they are not a complete list of keno locations. They are simply the venues with documented coordinates and facility data in the reference set.
Keno itself is a lottery-style numbers game offered in many Nevada casinos, but whether a specific room currently runs it, and at what hours, is a live operational detail. The state gaming regulator maintains the complete current list of licensed locations, and the venue's own floor or keno lounge page carries the day-to-day schedule.
Straight-Line Distances from the Las Vegas City Reference Point
Every figure below is a great-circle measurement between documented coordinates. It is not a road mile, not a driving estimate, and not a walking route. Use it only to understand relative position.
| Reference Point | Straight-Line Miles | Measurement Type |
|---|---|---|
| The D 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 |
The documented set measures 318 venues to this city reference point in total. That is the count in this file, not a census of every casino in Las Vegas. The complete current list belongs to the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
Why Straight-Line and Road Distance Differ
A great-circle distance ignores everything between two points except the curve of the earth. The road distance is longer because the street grid, freeways, blocks, and barriers force a path that no straight line can take.
In downtown Las Vegas specifically, the difference is modest for the closest venues because the street grid is dense and regular. But the moment a route crosses a freeway interchange, a railroad corridor, or the boundary between the city and the unincorporated county, the driven path bends away from the straight line. Terrain is not the main factor here; the built environment is.
Water and elevation play a smaller role in Las Vegas than in coastal or mountainous casino markets. The city sits in a broad valley, so the dominant sources of extra road distance are the street network, one-way systems, and the need to route around large resort parcels and parking structures.
Where These Venues Sit Within the Region
The Las Vegas city reference point sits at approximately 36.17 degrees north latitude and 115.14 degrees west longitude. That places the documented cluster in the southern part of Nevada, in Clark County, within the Mojave Desert region of the southwestern United States.
The downtown venues documented here are all within about two straight-line miles of that city center point. Relative to the wider Las Vegas Valley, downtown sits north of the Strip corridor. The Strip itself is not represented in this particular documented set, so no straight-line distance to a Strip property can be stated here.
Nevada is the state, Las Vegas is the city, and Clark County is the county. The venue coordinates all fall within the city's downtown grid, which is the oldest part of the Las Vegas Valley and the historical core of its casino industry.
What to Confirm Before You Go
Before traveling to any of these venues for keno, confirm three changeable things through the venue's own channels. First, whether the keno lounge or keno counter is currently operating, since game availability shifts with staffing and demand. Second, the hours for the keno session you want, because keno often runs on a different schedule from the main casino floor. Third, whether the venue is the one you think it is, since several of these downtown properties sit within a few hundred feet of each other and share similar names.
The authoritative current answer for game availability is the venue's own published floor page or a call to its guest services line. The authoritative complete list of licensed Nevada keno locations is the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Neither of those is a static fact that can be printed here.
FAQ
Does this article tell me which Las Vegas casinos currently offer keno?
No. The documented set identifies venues by location and facility data, not by current game lineup. Keno availability is a live operational detail that changes with staffing, demand, and property decisions. The venue's own floor page or guest services line holds the current answer, and the Nevada Gaming Control Board holds the complete licensed list.
Why are the distances in the table labeled straight-line?
Because they are great-circle measurements between documented coordinates, not road miles. A straight-line distance ignores streets, freeways, and barriers. The actual driving distance is always longer, and this article does not publish road mileage or travel times. Use the table only to compare relative positions of venues.
How do I measure distance from my own location to one of these venues?
Your starting point is not in the documented set, so no distance from you can be stated here. Take the venue's fixed coordinates from the table's reference point and measure from your own position using any mapping tool that gives great-circle or road distance. The venue's position is fixed; your position is the variable.
