The fixed point you are measuring from
The documented downtown Las Vegas casino venues sit between 0.1 and 1.7 straight-line miles from the Las Vegas city reference point. Straight-line means great-circle distance, the shortest path between two coordinates on the earth's surface. Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
Keno availability is a live, changeable fact. Which of these venues currently offers keno, on which floor, at which hours, is not something a fixed geographic article can state. The locations below are the stable part; the reader confirms the game itself through the venue's own current listings.
Documented straight-line distances from the Las Vegas city point
The table lists every documented venue-to-city pair supplied for this article. Every figure is great-circle, measured from the venue's documented coordinates to the Las Vegas city reference coordinates.
| Reference point | Straight-line miles | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
These are the only venue-to-city pairs this article can measure. If the reader wants the distance between two specific venues, or from a hotel not listed here, that pair is not in the documented set and this article cannot state it.
Why straight-line and road distance diverge
Great-circle distance ignores everything on the ground. A road route must follow streets, bridges, interchanges and legal turns, and it bends around obstacles that a straight line simply crosses. The result is that road mileage is always longer than the straight-line figure, sometimes by a small margin, sometimes by a large one.
Several factors widen the gap. Terrain forces roads to contour rather than cut across. Water bodies require a bridge or tunnel at a specific crossing point. The road network itself is rarely a direct line between two points; it follows a grid, a highway alignment, or a historical route. Crossing a state or county boundary can also force a route onto a longer corridor, because the direct path may not have a legal crossing at that point.
In downtown Las Vegas, the venues listed above are clustered tightly enough that the straight-line figures are small fractions of a mile. But even a 0.3 straight-line mile figure can translate into a noticeably longer walk or drive once the street grid, pedestrian bridges, and one-way traffic patterns are factored in.
Where these venues sit
All ten documented venues in the table lie in Las Vegas, Nevada. The city reference point sits at approximately 36.17 degrees north latitude and 115.14 degrees west longitude. The venues documented here are all within roughly two straight-line miles of that point, placing them in the downtown core rather than the Strip corridor, which lies south of the city reference point.
The relative orientation is consistent: these are downtown venues, clustered near the Fremont Street area. The D Las Vegas, Four Queens, Horseshoe, Golden Nugget, Binion's, Golden Gate, Main Street and Main Street Station all sit within 0.4 straight-line miles of the city point. Stratosphere Tower and Jerry's Nugget sit farther out, at 1.7 straight-line miles, in opposite directions from the tight downtown cluster.

How to measure from your own position
The venue locations are fixed. The reader's starting point is not, and this article cannot guess it. If the query is "near me" or "from my location," the correct approach is to treat the venue coordinates as the fixed anchor and measure outward to wherever the reader happens to be.
A reader can take the venue's documented coordinates, pair them with the coordinates of their own hotel, parking spot or current position, and compute a great-circle distance using any standard mapping tool. That gives a straight-line figure. For road distance, the reader uses a routing tool, which will return a driving or walking distance and a travel time. This article does not publish those figures because they depend on the reader's exact origin and on live traffic and road conditions.
What to confirm before you go
Keno availability changes. A venue that offers keno today may move it to a different floor, change its hours, or remove it entirely. The reader should confirm three things before travelling: whether the specific venue currently offers keno, where in the building it is located, and what the current hours are.
The authoritative current answer lives on the venue's own website, its published games or floor directory, or its guest services line. A phone call to the venue's front desk or players club desk is the fastest way to confirm keno availability on the day of travel. The reader should also confirm whether keno is offered as a live draw, a video keno machine, or both, since the two are different products and may be in different parts of the building.
FAQ
Which of these documented venues has keno?
This article cannot state which venues currently offer keno. Keno availability is a live, changeable fact, and no current game listing for any single property is documented here. The reader should check the venue's own website or call its guest services line to confirm keno on the day of travel.
How far is the D Las Vegas from the Las Vegas city point?
The D Las Vegas sits 0.1 straight-line miles from the Las Vegas city reference point. That is a great-circle figure, not a road distance. The actual walking or driving distance is longer, and this article does not publish road mileage or travel time.
Why are the distances so small?
All ten documented venues lie within 1.7 straight-line miles of the Las Vegas city reference point, and most sit within 0.4. That places them in the downtown cluster near the Fremont Street area, not along the Strip corridor, which lies south of the city point. The figures are straight-line and will always be shorter than any road route.
