Your question is about a live game menu, but the geography is fixed
No documented source in this article states which Las Vegas venues currently offer penny keno, and that availability changes by property and by season. What can be stated with confidence is where the documented downtown venues sit relative to one another, because their coordinates are fixed. The closest documented venue to the Las Vegas reference point is The D Las Vegas at 0.1 straight-line miles.
Straight-line distance is not road distance. Driving is always longer, and this article does not publish road mileage, driving time, or any route instruction. If penny keno is the deciding factor for your trip, the venue's own gaming floor or guest services line is the channel that holds the current answer.
The documented downtown cluster
The venues with documented positions in this article form a tight cluster at the eastern end of the Fremont Street Experience area. Four Queens, Binion's, Golden Nugget Las Vegas, and Horseshoe all sit within 0.4 straight-line miles of the Las Vegas reference point. Stratosphere Tower and Jerry's Nugget sit farther out at 1.7 straight-line miles each.
These are great-circle measurements between documented coordinates. They describe how the venues relate to a fixed point on a map, not how a visitor moves between them on the ground.
| 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 |
Why road distance differs from straight-line distance
A great-circle line ignores everything on the ground. It passes over buildings, crosses blocks diagonally, and cuts through whatever stands between two coordinate pairs. A road cannot do that.
In downtown Las Vegas, the street grid forces movement along north-south and east-west axes. A venue that sits 0.2 straight-line miles from a reference point may require walking several blocks, crossing intersections, and navigating pedestrian barriers. Topography matters less here than in other cities, but the built environment still adds distance. Where a body of water, a highway embankment, or a rail corridor intervenes, the detour grows further. None of those detours are captured in a straight-line figure.
This is why the article publishes only great-circle miles and labels every figure as such. Road mileage belongs to a mapping tool or the venue's own directions page, not to a straight-line table.
Where these venues sit
All ten documented venues in the distance table sit in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Las Vegas reference point is documented at latitude 36.16916667 and longitude -115.14055556. The D Las Vegas and Four Queens sit essentially at the same latitude, within a fraction of a minute of arc, and both lie west of the reference longitude. Golden Nugget Las Vegas and Binion's sit slightly north and west.
Relative to the documented reference point, the cluster of downtown venues lies to the west and slightly north. Stratosphere Tower and Jerry's Nugget sit farther from that point, at 1.7 straight-line miles each, but their documented coordinates still place them within the same city. The article does not state which direction those two venues lie from the reference point, because only the straight-line distance pairs were supplied, not the bearing.
Penny keno is a menu item, not a fixed facility
Keno availability at a specific denomination is not a documented field for any venue in this article. Slot machine counts, table game counts, hotel room counts, opening dates, and owners are documented for some properties. Penny keno is not.
Keno operates differently from slot machines. Some venues run live keno lounges with drawn numbers and paper or electronic tickets. Others offer video keno terminals that function like slot machines. The denomination at which a venue offers either format changes with floor configuration, machine rotation, and marketing decisions. A venue that offered penny keno last quarter may not offer it this quarter, and a venue that never offered it may add it.
The documented figures that do exist for these venues are facility counts, and they are point-in-time measurements from publicly published reference sources. The D Las Vegas is documented with more than 1,000 slot machines and 22 table games. Four Queens is documented with 105 slot machines in its casino expansion and 115 hotel rooms. Golden Nugget Las Vegas is documented with 2,419 hotel rooms. Binion's and Horseshoe are documented with 366 hotel rooms each. None of these figures tells you whether penny keno is on the floor today.
What governs whether a venue has penny keno
Several variables determine keno denomination at a given property. The venue's keno format matters first: a live keno lounge has a different cost structure from a bank of video keno machines. A lounge with a dedicated writer and runner staff may set higher minimums than a self-service video terminal. A video keno machine, by contrast, can be configured at a penny denomination if the machine's software and the venue's floor plan allow it.
Floor space is a second variable. Downtown venues in this cluster operate on compact footprints. The D Las Vegas documents a 42,000-square-foot casino across two floors. In a space that size, every square foot competes between slot banks, table pits, and specialty games. Keno lounges take up seating and staff. Video keno takes up machine positions that could hold a different title. The venue's decision about what to place where is a business call, not a fixed fact.
Regulatory classification is a third variable. In Nevada, keno is a distinct game category with its own rules. A venue's gaming floor must be configured to offer it, and the denomination at which it is offered is set by the operator within the bounds of its licence. This article does not state what any venue's licence permits, because no such fact is documented here.
How to find the current answer
The authoritative source for whether a specific venue currently offers penny keno is the venue itself. The gaming floor changes, and only the operator knows what is on it this week. Call the venue's guest services line, ask for the keno lounge or the slot floor, and ask directly whether penny denomination keno is available and in what format.
If you are already in Las Vegas, the fastest check is to walk the floor. Keno lounges are signed, and video keno machines display their denomination on screen. If you are planning from elsewhere, the venue's own website or a phone call is the reliable channel. Do not rely on third-party lists that may be months out of date.
What to confirm before you go
Before you travel for penny keno specifically, confirm three things. First, whether the venue offers keno at all, and in what format: live lounge, video terminal, or both. Second, the minimum denomination currently set on the keno product you want to play. Third, whether the keno area is open during the hours you plan to visit, since keno lounges often keep different hours from the main casino floor.
Each of these items changes independently of the venue's fixed location and documented facility counts. The venue's own gaming floor staff or guest services line is the channel that holds the current answer. This article can tell you where the venues sit and how they relate to one another on a map. It cannot tell you what is on the floor today.
FAQ
Does this article list which Las Vegas casinos have penny keno?
No. Penny keno availability is not a documented field for any venue in this article, and it changes by property and by season. The article documents fixed positions and facility counts from publicly published reference sources. For current keno denomination, contact the venue's gaming floor or guest services line directly.
How far apart are the downtown Las Vegas venues?
The documented downtown venues sit within 0.1 to 0.4 straight-line miles of the Las Vegas reference point. Stratosphere Tower and Jerry's Nugget sit at 1.7 straight-line miles. These are great-circle measurements. Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
Why is straight-line distance different from the distance I would drive?
A straight-line measurement ignores streets, buildings, and any obstacle between two points. Roads follow a grid, cross at intersections, and detour around barriers. In downtown Las Vegas, the street grid forces movement along north-south and east-west axes, so even a venue 0.2 straight-line miles away may require several blocks of walking or driving.
