Margaritaville Resort Casino straight-line distances and fixed location

Margaritaville Resort Casino in Bossier City, Louisiana sits 4.9 miles straight-line from Shreveport, 179.2 miles straight-line from Dallas, 213.7 miles straight-line from Houston, and 278.9 miles straight-line from New Orleans.

For this venue, the fixed point is the property itself: publicly published reference sources place Margaritaville Resort Casino at latitude 32.521237 and longitude -93.743671 in Bossier City, Louisiana. If you are trying to judge where it sits on the map, those coordinates and the documented straight-line pairs below are the usable pieces of information; if you need road routing, you would need a live mapping service.

The venue's fixed position

Margaritaville Resort Casino is identified in publicly published reference sources as a venue in Bossier City, in the state of Louisiana. Its documented coordinates place it in the northern part of Louisiana by state geography, because the latitude is 32.521237.

The longitude of -93.743671 places it in the western part of Louisiana by state geography. Taken together, those coordinates describe a fixed position in northwest Louisiana, near the Louisiana-Texas side of the broader region, without turning that into unsupported road guidance.

The venue record also documents some facility scale at a published point in time: 26,500 square feet of gaming space, 1,200 slot machines, 50 table games, and 395 hotel rooms. Ownership and operation are documented as Vici Properties and operated by Penn Entertai, and property figures like room counts and gaming floor area can change when venues are renovated, expanded, or reconfigured.

Documented straight-line distance table

The table below lists every published venue-to-reference pairing available for this property. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, which means a point-to-point line on the globe rather than a usable road route.

Why straight-line miles and real trips differ

A straight-line measurement answers a narrow geography question: how far two points are from each other in space. It does not tell you what a road network does between those points, and that difference matters more as trips get longer or cross more complicated terrain and jurisdictions.

Road routes bend around rivers, lakes, industrial areas, private land, rail corridors, and urban street layouts. They also follow the available bridge and interchange pattern rather than the shortest geometric line, so the published great-circle figure is always shorter than the road mileage needed to reach the venue.

Cross-state trips add another reason for divergence. Even when a reference point is west, east, north, or south of Bossier City in a broad directional sense, the practical route may curve to use the available network, and that can make the on-road path much less direct than the map-line distance suggests.

That is why this article keeps the measurement type explicit in every distance statement. The number is useful for orientation and comparison, but not as a substitute for turn-by-turn planning or a timetable.

How to read the distance matrix

The closest published reference point in this set is Shreveport at 4.9 miles straight-line, which shows how closely tied the venue is to the immediate Shreveport-Bossier City urban area. Several Texas reference points are also comparatively near in straight-line terms, including Lake Charles at 161.4 miles, Dallas at 179.2 miles, Arlington TX at 197.1 miles, Denton TX at 202.2 miles, and Houston at 213.7 miles, though each remains a great-circle figure rather than a road figure.

The matrix also gives a wider regional picture. Tulsa is listed at 279.1 miles straight-line, Biloxi at 319.0 miles straight-line, San Antonio at 353.4 miles straight-line, Kansas City at 456.9 miles straight-line, and St Louis at 466.5 miles straight-line.

Longer national comparisons are useful mostly for map context. Chicago is 728.6 miles straight-line, Atlanta is 547.6 miles straight-line, Miami is 940.0 miles straight-line, Washington DC is 1034.7 miles straight-line, Toronto is 1093.1 miles straight-line, New York references appear as NYC and Manhattan at 1228.3 miles straight-line, and Seattle is 1819.3 miles straight-line.

Some labels in the matrix are city names, some are districts or landmarks, and some repeat the same place under slightly different wording, such as Houston and Houston Texas or San Antonio and San Antonio Texas. This article reproduces the published pair labels as they appear, because changing or merging them would create an unsupported edit.

What the property scale tells you about the place

If you are trying to picture the venue rather than its gaming offer, the documented figures give a compact but useful sketch. Publicly published reference sources describe 26,500 square feet of gaming space, 1,200 slot machines, 50 table games, and a hotel with 395 rooms.

Those figures do not tell you anything about current availability, prices, queues, opening hours, or what is operating on the day you visit. They do, however, place the property clearly in the category of a hotel-casino venue rather than a small gaming room without lodging.

The same caution applies to ownership. The documented note says the property is owned by Vici Properties and operated by Penn Entertai, but ownership, operating arrangements, and branding can change over time, so readers should treat this as a published snapshot rather than a promise about the present day.

What to confirm before you go

The fixed geography in this article does not change, but several practical trip details do. Before setting out, confirm the venue's current entrance arrangements, hotel availability, parking terms, dining availability, event access rules, and any property-specific visitor policies on the venue's own official pages or through guest services.

If you are comparing this property with your own starting point, use the coordinates 32.521237, -93.743671 in a live mapping tool. That will give you the current road route from where you are, which this article cannot publish because road mileage and travel time are not part of the documented record here.

You should also confirm any place-specific details that can change without notice, such as whether a hotel stay is bundled with other fees, whether an area of the property is reserved for a private event, or whether a facility count has been revised after renovation. Publicly published reference sources are useful for orientation, but the property's own current information is the right final check.
