The D Las Vegas is 0.1 straight-line miles from the Las Vegas city reference point
The D Las Vegas sits 0.1 miles straight-line from the city center reference point for Las Vegas. Road distance is longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any route.
The question of whether Vegas still has cash slots is a question about current machine configuration at individual properties. That is a live operational detail that changes without notice. What this article can do is anchor the venue geographically, because a reader deciding whether to visit needs to know where the place sits before anything else.
The venue and its fixed position
The D Las Vegas is located in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, at coordinates 36.16972222 north latitude and -115.14277778 west longitude. The city of Las Vegas itself sits at 36.16916667 north latitude and -115.14055556 west longitude. Those two points are separated by 0.1 great-circle miles, which places the venue essentially at the center of the downtown core rather than on the Strip corridor several miles to the south.
The venue opened on July 2, 1980, when it was known as the Sundance Hotel. It is owned and operated by Derek and Greg Stevens. Publicly published reference sources document more than 1,000 slot machines and 22 table games on two floors, though figures like machine counts are revised as properties rebuild and expand, so treat them as a documented point in time rather than today's live count.
Whether any of those slot machines currently accept cash, ticket-in/ticket-out vouchers, card-based play, or a mix depends on the property's current floor configuration. That is not a geographic fact and not something this article can state. The venue's own gaming floor staff or guest services line is the channel that holds the current answer.
Documented straight-line distances from The D Las Vegas
The reference points below are the only venue-to-place pairs supplied for this article. Every figure is a great-circle measurement, not road mileage.
| Reference point | Straight-line miles | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas city center | 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 tight clustering of these figures tells you something real: The D Las Vegas sits inside a dense downtown grid where several casino properties are within half a mile of each other as the crow flies. The Stratosphere Tower and Jerry's Nugget sit farther out, at 1.7 straight-line miles each, marking the edge of the documented set rather than any boundary of the city.
Why straight-line distance is not your walking or driving distance
Great-circle distance is the shortest path across the surface of the earth between two coordinate pairs. It ignores everything that stands between you and the front door. Downtown Las Vegas is a built urban grid with city blocks, intersections, pedestrian crossings, and one-way streets. A straight line drawn on a map from one casino to another may cut across buildings, through mid-block, or over a parking structure.
Road distance is always longer because a vehicle or a pedestrian must follow the street network. The difference between a 0.1-mile straight-line figure and the actual walking route can be small in a dense grid, but it is never zero, and it grows with every turn, every block, and every intersection. Where a route crosses a freeway, a railroad corridor, or a large parcel with no through street, the detour can add meaningful distance even when the straight-line figure looks trivial.
Terrain and water features can also force detours, though the immediate downtown Las Vegas area is flat and has no significant water crossing. The more common cause of divergence here is the street grid itself and the pedestrian barriers created by large hotel-casino footprints. A venue that is 0.2 straight-line miles away may require walking several blocks around the back of a neighboring property to reach the entrance.
How to measure from your own position
A reader asking whether Vegas still has cash slots is usually asking from somewhere else: a hotel room, a parking garage, an airport, or another city entirely. The venue's position is fixed. Your position is not. This article cannot measure a distance from an unknown starting point, and it will not guess one.
What you can do is take the venue's documented coordinates — 36.16972222, -115.14277778 — and drop them into any mapping tool. From there, the tool will compute a road or walking route from wherever you are. That route distance is the number that matters for planning, and it will always be longer than the straight-line figures above.
If the specific pair you want is not in the table, this article cannot measure that segment. You are not missing a hidden number; the pair simply is not among the documented reference points supplied for this venue. The table above is the complete set.
What the city and state context tells you
The D Las Vegas sits in Clark County, within the city of Las Vegas, in the state of Nevada. The coordinates place it slightly east and south of the city center reference point, in the downtown area known for the Fremont Street Experience corridor. The venue's owner source describes it as being at the eastern end of that pedestrian mall.
Nevada's southern tip, where Las Vegas sits, is the state's population center, but the state itself extends far north into the Great Basin. The venue's position in the southern part of the state matters for anyone driving in from California, Arizona, or Utah, because the approach corridors come from different directions and converge on the same downtown grid.
This article does not name highways, interstates, exits, or terminals. Those specifics are route-level details that belong in a mapping tool or on the venue's own directions page, not in a distance explainer built only from coordinate pairs.
What to confirm before you go
Several things about this venue are changeable and should be confirmed through the property's own channels before you travel. The most obvious, given the query, is the current slot machine payment configuration: whether machines accept cash, vouchers, cards, or a mix, and whether any cash-accepting machines are located in a specific section of the floor. Ask the gaming floor staff directly or call the venue's guest services line.
Also confirm the current machine count and table game count if those numbers matter to you. Publicly published reference sources document more than 1,000 slot machines and 22 table games, but floor layouts change. The venue's own website or a call to the property will give you the current figure.
Finally, confirm your route. The straight-line distances above are not road distances, and the actual walking or driving route from your hotel, the airport, or the freeway depends on where you start and what is closed or under construction that day. Use a mapping tool with your actual starting point.
FAQ
Does this article say whether Vegas still has cash slots?
No. Whether any specific venue in Las Vegas currently has machines that accept cash is a live operational detail. This article documents the fixed geographic position of The D Las Vegas and its straight-line distances to nearby reference points. For current machine configuration, ask the venue's gaming floor staff or guest services line directly.
How far is The D Las Vegas from the Las Vegas city center?
The D Las Vegas sits 0.1 great-circle miles from the Las Vegas city center reference point. That is a straight-line measurement, not a road distance. The actual walking or driving route will be longer, and this article does not publish road mileage or travel time.
Can I use the coordinates to find the venue myself?
Yes. The D Las Vegas is documented at 36.16972222 north latitude and -115.14277778 west longitude. Enter those coordinates into any mapping tool with your own starting point, and the tool will compute a road or walking route. That route distance is the figure that matters for planning, and it will always exceed the straight-line figures in this article.
