From New York City, the nearest documented casino venue in this reference set is Yonkers at 16.0 miles straight-line. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
The fixed point in this article is New York City
If you searched for New York casino hotels, the usable location anchor here is New York City itself, documented at coordinates 40.7128, -74.0061. No single hotel-casino property in New York City is identified by the query, so this article cannot attach live details such as room pricing, parking charges, opening hours, or current availability to any one venue.
What it can do is show the documented casino venues measured to New York City in straight-line terms. That is useful for orientation, but it should not be read as road mileage, rail mileage, or any other real-world route length.

How to read those mileage figures
A straight-line figure is the shortest possible map distance between two sets of coordinates. It ignores the way people and vehicles must move through an actual transport network, so the real route is longer.
That gap happens for ordinary geographic reasons: water crossings can force a detour, road grids do not run in a perfect line, local street patterns can bend the route, and crossing between states can mean using a limited set of bridges, tunnels, or border crossings. Terrain and built-up urban form also matter, because the available network rarely matches the direct geometric line.
For that reason, a straight-line number is best used to understand relative position, not to predict what a trip will feel like. If you need the practical route, the current answer belongs on a live mapping service using your exact starting point.

What is documented about the nearest venues
Because the query is broad, this article stays with fixed place facts rather than live commercial details. Publicly published reference sources document a snapshot of ownership, opening dates, and selected facility figures for some nearby venues, but those figures describe a point in time and can change after renovations, expansions, sales, or rebrands.
| Venue | City | State | Documented fields |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yonkers Raceway & Empire City Casino | Yonkers | New York | Opened 1899; owner Vici Properties; 7,500 slot machines; 120,000 gaming square feet |
| Parx Casino and Racing | Bensalem | Pennsylvania | Opened January 11, 2018; owner Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment; 3,200 slot machines; 300 hotel rooms; 30,000 square feet documented for the event center |
| Wind Creek Bethlehem | Bethlehem | Pennsylvania | Opened May 22, 2009; owner Wind Creek Hospitality; 3,000 slot machines; 180 table games |
| Mount Airy Casino Resort | Mount Pocono | Pennsylvania | 1,800 slot machines; 284 hotel rooms; 70 table games |
Those figures help distinguish the physical scale and business identity of the venues, but they do not answer live questions such as whether rooms are available on a given date or what any stay costs now. For that, you need the property's own booking and contact channels.
What this query does not identify
The related search phrase “new york - new york hotel and casino” names a specific property, but no documented venue matching that property appears in the reference material used for this article. That means this article cannot measure its distance from New York City, cannot place it in a comparison table, and cannot state any of its facility details.
Likewise, “new york casino hotels” is a category phrase, not a single fixed venue. This reference set documents 318 venue-to-New York City measurements and 481 venues in total, but it is not a census of all casinos in any place, so this article does not state a total number of casino hotels for New York City or New York State.
If you need a complete and current list for a jurisdiction, the right place to verify it is the relevant state, provincial, or tribal gaming regulator. That is especially important because venue ownership, branding, and operating arrangements can change.
What to confirm before you go
Before spending money on a trip, confirm the live items that no static distance article should guess. That includes room availability, room pricing, parking arrangements, age rules, event schedules, dining availability, and the venue's current operating hours.
The authoritative source for those details is the venue's own booking page, published hours page, and direct guest-services contact channel. For route planning, use a live mapping service from your actual starting point, because your origin, the chosen mode of transport, and current network conditions all affect the practical trip in ways a straight-line figure does not.
FAQ
Which documented casino venue is closest to New York City in this article?
In this reference set, the nearest documented venue to New York City is Yonkers Raceway & Empire City Casino at 16.0 miles straight-line. That is a great-circle measurement between coordinates, not a road route, so it should be used only as a geographic orientation point.
Can this article tell me the distance to New York-New York Hotel and Casino?
No. That specific property is not one of the documented venue pairs measured to New York City here, so this article cannot publish a distance for it. When a venue-to-place pair is not documented, the honest answer is to give the measured pairs that do exist and leave the missing one unclaimed.
Why is the straight-line number so much shorter than the real trip?
Straight-line distance connects two coordinates directly, while a real trip has to follow available infrastructure. Water crossings, indirect road layouts, urban street patterns, and state-border routing constraints all lengthen the practical route. That is why this article labels every mileage figure as great-circle and does not convert it into driving miles or time.
