Mazatzal Casino is documented in Payson, Arizona, and the city of Payson sits straight-line 69.4 miles from Phoenix, 197.1 miles from Laughlin, 240.9 miles from Henderson, 252.6 miles from Bourbon Street, 253.2 miles from Las Vegas, 300.1 miles from Palm Springs, 336.9 miles from Temecula, 352.3 miles from San Diego, 396.0 miles from Los Angeles, 405.6 miles from LAX, 516.2 miles from Denver, and 589.7 miles from Modesto.
Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
Where the venue is fixed
For this venue, the published reference sources document the city, county, state, venue type, and ownership note in the state casino list. They place Mazatzal Casino in Payson, in Gila County, Arizona, as a land-based casino. The same published list row notes that it is owned by the Tonto Apache.
The important limitation is that the documented coordinates are for the city of Payson, not for the casino property itself. That means the distance figures in this article are measured from the city and must be read that way, not as property-to-property measurements.
City position and regional orientation
Payson has published city coordinates of 34.23944444 latitude and -111.3275 longitude. Those coordinates place it in Arizona and provide a fixed reference point for discussing where the venue sits at the city level.
Using the published comparison points, Payson is east of Phoenix because its longitude is less far west than Phoenix would be if it were farther to the west; the practical takeaway for this article is simpler: the city is in Arizona, and the supplied distance matrix positions it within reach of reference cities across Arizona, Nevada, California, and Colorado in straight-line terms. Because only the city coordinate is documented here, this article stays at that city-level orientation and does not narrow the position further to a property coordinate.
Documented straight-line distances from Payson
The table below lists every injected city-pair measurement available for this venue's location context. Each figure is a great-circle measurement from the city centre of Payson, not from the casino property, and not by road.

Why straight-line distance and real travel differ
Straight-line distance is a map geometry measure: it draws the shortest path between two coordinate points over the earth's surface. Real trips do not work that way, because people follow available roads, local street patterns, and the route choices those networks allow.
Several things can widen the gap between a great-circle figure and an actual trip. Terrain can force roads to bend around elevation and landforms. Water features can limit where crossings exist. Road networks often require detours because direct links do not exist between two points. Cross-state travel can add further routing constraints because the usable network is shaped by how roads connect across state lines, not by the shortest line on a map.
That is why a straight-line figure is useful for regional orientation but not for planning a drive. It tells you which reference places are nearer or farther in purely geometric terms, while the route you would really take is a separate question that needs a live mapping tool.
How to read the distance table correctly
The shortest supplied comparison is Phoenix at 69.4 straight-line miles from Payson. The longest supplied comparison is Modesto at 589.7 straight-line miles from Payson. Everything in between helps place Payson in a wider Southwest and western U.S. context, but none of those figures should be read as road mileage.
It also matters that one reference point in the table is an airport, LAX, while the others are city or place names. The measurement method is still the same great-circle method from Payson's city coordinate to the supplied reference point, but the meaning is still orientation rather than trip planning.
What this article can and cannot measure
If your question is simply where Mazatzal Casino is, the documented answer is: in Payson, Gila County, Arizona. If your question is how far it is from one of the listed reference points above, this article can give the published straight-line figure from Payson's city centre.
If you want the distance from some other place not listed in the table, this article cannot measure that segment. It also cannot publish a road route, driving mileage, or travel time. For those, use a current map service and measure from your own starting point to Payson, then confirm the exact property location through the venue's own contact and location information.
What to confirm before you go
Before setting out, confirm the exact property location within Payson, because the published geographic reference here is the city rather than a property coordinate. The venue's own location page or contact page is the right source for that final on-the-ground detail.
You should also confirm any changeable trip details that this article does not publish: current operating hours, parking arrangements, lodging availability, food service, event schedules, and any other live visitor information. The authoritative current answer will be on the property's own website pages or through its guest services contact channel.
If you are measuring from your own starting point, compare your origin to Payson in a mapping tool rather than trying to infer a route from straight-line figures. The fixed element is the venue's documented city; your position, chosen route, and current conditions are separate variables.
FAQ
Is Mazatzal Casino in Phoenix?
No. The documented venue location is Payson, in Gila County, Arizona. Phoenix appears in this article only as a reference point in the distance table, where Payson is listed at 69.4 miles straight-line from Phoenix. That figure is for city-centre geometry, not a road trip measurement and not a property-specific route.
Can this article tell me how far Mazatzal Casino is from my location?
Only if your starting point is one of the published reference points in the table, and even then the figure is straight-line from Payson's city coordinate. If your origin is somewhere else, this article cannot measure it. In that case, use a live map to measure from your location to Payson and then confirm the exact venue location separately.
Does the distance table show the casino's exact property distance?
No. The published geographic point here is for the city of Payson, not for the casino parcel itself. So every mileage figure in the table is measured from the city and should be read as a regional orientation tool. It is useful for understanding where the venue sits, but not for exact arrival planning.
