Little Six Casino location and straight-line distance guide

Little Six Casino sits 19.7 miles from Minneapolis in straight-line distance. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

Fixed position of the venue

The venue covered here is Little Six Casino, in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Publicly published reference sources place it at coordinates 44.7362, -93.4728, and figures such as ownership, opening year, and facility details should always be read as point-in-time information because casino properties can be rebuilt, expanded, sold, or rebranded.

The property is identified in published sources as Little Six Casino, with the alias little six. Published source material also states that it opened in 1982 and is owned and operated by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community in Prior Lake.

Documented straight-line distances

The table below lists every injected venue-to-reference pairing available for this article. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, which means a straight line over the earth rather than a route you would follow on roads.

Why straight-line distance and real travel differ

A straight-line figure is useful because it fixes the venue's position relative to a known place, but it is not a road measurement. Real routes bend around terrain, lakes and rivers, follow the available street and highway grid, and can lengthen further where bridges, crossings, or state-border routing choices limit the most direct path.

That is why the same venue can be a certain number of straight-line miles from a city while the on-road trip is materially longer. This article stays with the documented great-circle numbers only, because they are stable reference points and do not depend on a specific route choice.

Where the venue sits in Minnesota

Little Six Casino is in Prior Lake, in the state of Minnesota. From the published coordinates, the venue lies west of Minneapolis because its longitude is farther west, and south of Minneapolis because the documented straight-line reference to Minneapolis is paired with a position in Prior Lake rather than in Minneapolis itself.

Published ownership text also places the venue southwest of the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area. For a reader using this page as a location reference, the key point is that the property's position is fixed in Prior Lake, while your own starting point may vary and should be measured against that fixed point rather than guessed from a vague “near me” search.

How to use the distance table

If your own origin is one of the listed reference points, you can use the exact documented straight-line figure shown above. For example, the straight-line distance is 298.6 miles from Milwaukee, 353.8 miles from Chicago, 393.6 miles from Kansas City, 681.9 miles from Denver, and 1023.6 miles from NYC.

If your origin is not listed, this article cannot measure that pair. In that case, use the venue coordinates, 44.7362 and -93.4728, in your preferred mapping tool and compare your own location to the property directly; that will give you either a new straight-line reading or a route built from your chosen mode of travel.

Ownership and venue identity

For place-based research, ownership matters because casino properties can be discussed under a brand name, an alias, or the name of the operating community or company. Publicly published reference sources identify Little Six Casino as owned and operated by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community in Prior Lake.

The published opening history also distinguishes between the original 1982 opening and the later evolution of the property name and gaming format. That matters when comparing older references with current ones, because a place may remain geographically fixed while its branding and operating description change over time.

What to confirm before you go

Before setting out, confirm the live details that this kind of fixed-location guide does not publish. That includes current opening hours, current venue status, parking arrangements, any age or entry policies, and any changes to amenities or branding.

The authoritative current answer is usually on the property's own official contact and visitor-information channels. If you are comparing maps, also confirm that your navigation app has matched the venue name to the correct Prior Lake location rather than to a broader regional search result.
