Mazatzal Casino is documented in Payson, Arizona, and the published city-based straight-line distances run from 69.4 miles to Phoenix to 589.7 miles to Modesto, with other reference points in between; every mileage in this article is straight-line. Road distance is longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
Where the venue is fixed
The venue is documented as a land-based casino in Payson, in Gila County, Arizona. Publicly published reference sources for this venue row identify the city, county, state, venue type, and ownership note, but not a property coordinate.
That distinction matters. The coordinate available here belongs to the city of Payson, not to the casino property itself, so every distance below is measured from the city and not from the venue entrance.
The published city coordinate for Payson is 34.23944444, -111.3275. Using that fixed city point, the venue can be placed in Arizona and described relative to the listed comparison places, but not measured by road from the property itself.

How to read those mile figures correctly
A straight-line figure is the shortest path between two mapped points on the earth's surface. It is useful for orientation because it shows broad geographic proximity, but it does not tell you what a road journey looks like in practice.
Road mileage is longer because roads follow available corridors rather than drawing a direct line through the landscape. The gap between straight-line and road distance can widen because of terrain, water barriers, detours built into the road network, and the need to cross state lines through practical crossing points rather than in a mathematically direct path.
That is why this article labels every mileage as straight-line or great-circle. If you are planning a real trip, use the city and state here to find the venue area, then check a current mapping service for the route from your own starting point.
What the location says regionally
Because the venue is documented in Payson, the reliable geographic statement is that Mazatzal Casino sits in central Arizona at the city level, within Gila County. The available coordinate places Payson in Arizona and allows broad directional comparisons to the listed reference points without claiming anything more precise about the property parcel.
Within the supplied comparison set, Phoenix is the nearest listed reference point at 69.4 straight-line miles from Payson. The farthest listed point is Modesto at 589.7 straight-line miles from the city.
The set of reference points also shows that the documented city can be compared not only within Arizona but across neighboring western destinations. That is useful if you are trying to place the venue on a wider regional mental map rather than estimate an actual drive.
Why the article stays at city level
This venue record is a city-only listing. The published source row identifies Mazatzal Casino in Payson, Gila County, Arizona, as a land-based casino and notes that it is owned by the Tonto Apache, but it does not supply a property coordinate, floor area, machine count, room count, opening date, or other on-site measurements.
Because of that, this article does not state any straight-line distance from the casino building itself. It also does not publish driving mileage, route instructions, or travel times, since none of those are documented here and they can change with the exact starting point and route chosen.
Using the fixed location if your own starting point is different
The venue's location is fixed, but your location is not. If you are trying to work out how Mazatzal Casino relates to where you are, start with the documented city: Payson, Arizona.
Then compare your own map position against the city coordinate 34.23944444, -111.3275 in a mapping tool. That will let you measure from your actual starting point without assuming that your origin matches any of the reference places listed in this article.
If the specific place you care about is not one of the injected pairs in the table, this article cannot measure that straight-line segment for you. In that case, use the city name and coordinate above, and treat the table as orientation only.
What to confirm before you go
Before travelling, confirm the practical items that can change and are not covered by this location article. That includes the exact property pin on a current map, the route from your own origin, parking arrangements, and any current access details published by the venue itself.
It is also sensible to confirm any live operational details through the property's own contact and visitor information channels. This article is about fixed geography, so it deliberately does not publish current hours, event schedules, prices, or journey times.
FAQ
How far is Mazatzal Casino from Phoenix?
The documented figure available here is 69.4 miles straight-line from the city of Payson to Phoenix. That is a great-circle measurement from city to city, not a road route and not a measurement from the casino property entrance.
Can this article tell me the driving distance to Mazatzal Casino?
No. The published figures available for this venue are city-based straight-line distances only, and road distance is always longer. For an actual route, use the documented city, Payson, Arizona, in a current mapping service and measure from your own starting point.
Is the distance table measured from the casino itself?
No. The available coordinate belongs to Payson, not to the casino parcel. That means every mileage in the table is measured from the city and should be read as orientation data, not as a door-to-door figure for the property.
