Monticello Casino Location and Straight-Line Distances

Monticello Raceway in Monticello, New York sits 75.6 miles straight-line from NYC and 75.6 miles straight-line from Manhattan. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

For this query, the useful fixed facts are the venue's location, its documented coordinates, and the straight-line distances that have been publicly published to specific reference points. If you are trying to work out how far it is from your own starting point, the venue stays fixed and your position does not, so the best starting point is the venue's known location: Monticello, New York, at 41.66872, -74.714563.

The venue's fixed position

The documented venue attached to this topic is Monticello Raceway, in Monticello, New York. Publicly published reference sources list its coordinates as 41.66872 latitude and -74.714563 longitude, with an opening date of June 27, 1958 and ownership by Empire Resorts.

Using only those coordinates, the venue sits in New York and in the Northern and Western hemispheres. Beyond that, this article avoids inventing regional placement details that are not directly supported by the published reference points listed below.

Documented straight-line distances

The table below lists every injected reference pair available for this venue. Each mileage is a great-circle measurement, meaning a straight-line reading between coordinates rather than a road route.

How to read these mile figures correctly

A great-circle line ignores the constraints that real trips have to follow. Roads curve around terrain, water, built-up areas, protected land, bridge crossings, and state-border routing patterns, so the path a vehicle uses is longer than a straight line on a coordinate grid.

That difference is especially important when a reference point is separated by water crossings, mountain systems, dense urban street patterns, or a road network that does not run directly toward the venue. Because of that, straight-line mileage is useful for orientation and comparison, but not for budgeting route length or predicting how long a trip will take.

What the published pairs tell you

The shortest published straight-line pair in this list is Manhattan at 75.6 miles straight-line, matched by NYC at the same 75.6 miles straight-line. Other comparatively near published points include Syracuse at 120.0 miles straight-line, Philadelphia at 120.9 miles straight-line, Lake George at 131.7 miles straight-line, Atlantic City at 160.1 miles straight-line, and Boston at 193.7 miles straight-line.

The same table also shows how far the venue sits, in straight-line terms, from reference points much farther afield. Examples include Chicago at 664.9 miles straight-line, Atlanta at 760.0 miles straight-line, Miami at 1141.8 miles straight-line, Dallas at 1356.5 miles straight-line, Houston at 1415.0 miles straight-line, Denver at 1583.2 miles straight-line, Las Vegas at 2185.7 miles straight-line, Los Angeles at 2406.0 miles straight-line, Sacramento at 2450.3 miles straight-line, and San Francisco at 2516.9 miles straight-line.

These are orientation markers, not a route planner. If the place you want to compare against is not named in the table, this article cannot measure that pair and should not guess; in that case, use the venue coordinates with your own map tool and compare them against your own starting point.

City, state, and relative position

The venue is documented in Monticello, New York. From the coordinates alone, it lies north of the equator and west of the prime meridian, which is enough to place it in the northeastern part of the United States only in the broadest geographic sense; more detailed sub-state placement would need additional published reference material not included here.

What can be said confidently is that Monticello is the fixed point in this question. If you search for the venue name, compare hotel options, or decide whether a visit fits with another stop, anchor everything to Monticello, New York and then verify your own route using a current mapping service.

What to confirm before you go

Before spending money on a trip, confirm the changeable details on the venue's own current contact and visitor channels. The items most likely to change are operating status, hours, access arrangements, parking terms, event use of the site, and any naming or ownership updates that may have happened since the publicly published reference sources recorded the figures used here.

If you need a route, use the venue's published location in Monticello, New York together with the coordinates 41.66872, -74.714563 in your preferred map tool. That will give you current road mileage from your own start point, which this article does not provide, and it will also reflect live closures and routing conditions that a fixed straight-line table cannot capture.
