Parx Casino Street Road, Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania: fixed location and straight-line distances

From Parx Casino and Racing in Bensalem, the documented straight-line distance is 64.6 miles to New York City, 138.3 miles to Washington DC, 59.5 miles to Showboat, 59.6 miles to Ocean Casino, and 40.4 miles to Wind Creek, all measured as straight-line great-circle distances. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The fixed point this article can document

If you are trying to place this venue geographically, the stable facts are its coordinates and municipality. Publicly published reference sources place Parx Casino and Racing at latitude 40.1186 and longitude -74.953 in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.

The same sources describe it as being in Bensalem Township in Bucks County, northeast of the city of Philadelphia. That gives you the useful regional frame: this is a southeastern Pennsylvania location, not a downtown Philadelphia site and not a central or western Pennsylvania one.

The keyword asks about “street road” in Bensalem Township, but this article cannot publish a street address because no street address appears in the published reference material used here. What it can do is anchor the venue to its documented city, state, county-level description, and coordinates.

Documented straight-line distances from the venue

The table below lists every published venue-to-reference pairing available for this property. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, which means a line drawn between coordinates rather than a route you can drive.

How to read these figures correctly

A straight-line number is useful for orientation, not routing. It tells you how far apart two coordinate points are across the earth’s surface without following streets, bridges, detours, state borders, one-way systems, or any other real transport constraint.

That is why the same venue can be a modest great-circle distance from a reference point but still require a much longer real journey. Water crossings, limited bridge options, indirect road grids, municipal street patterns, and the need to cross or skirt different jurisdictions all add distance that a straight line does not capture.

In this part of the United States, another source of difference is the shape of the regional road network itself. A straight line from Bensalem to another point may cut through developed urban land, riverside sections, or other spaces where no direct road line exists, so the actual route must bend around those constraints.

For that reason, the figures in the table should be treated as geographic context only. They are good for understanding whether a reference point is broadly near, mid-range, or very far from the venue, but they are not a substitute for checking a live map before you travel.

Where the venue sits within Pennsylvania

The published coordinates place the venue in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. The location description further places it in Bucks County, northeast of Philadelphia, which means the property belongs to the southeastern part of the state rather than the interior or western side.

Its documented coordinates also let you read broad directional relationships without inventing a route. The venue lies far east of many inland U.S. reference points in the table and far north of southern reference points such as New Orleans or Daytona Beach, while remaining much closer in straight-line terms to Mid-Atlantic and Northeast reference points such as Manhattan, Washington DC, and Rehoboth Beach Delaware.

That does not tell you which road you would take, and this article should not pretend otherwise. It does, however, show the property’s regional placement clearly: a fixed point in eastern Pennsylvania with relatively short great-circle links to nearby northeastern and Mid-Atlantic references and very long great-circle links to West Coast and overseas references.

Venue facts that help identify the property

Publicly published reference sources identify the venue as Parx Casino and Racing, also referred to as Parx. Those same sources say it is owned and operated by Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment.

As documented figures from those sources, the property is associated with 3,200 slot machines and 300 hotel rooms. Another published figure states 30,000 square feet, but that number is attached to the event center area rather than a total casino floor measurement, so it should be read as a facility component instead of a full-property footprint.

The published opening dates also need careful reading. January 11, 2018 is tied to the poker room opening, while January 13, 2018 is tied to the Xcite Center opening, so those dates do not by themselves function as a blanket opening date for the entire site.

What to confirm before you go

Several details a traveler often wants are changeable and are not fixed by the geographic facts above. Before setting out, confirm the current street address format used by the property, parking arrangements, hotel availability, event schedules, and any venue access conditions on the property’s own location, booking, event, or guest-services pages.

If your real question is not “where is it?” but “how far is it from my starting point?”, use the documented coordinates rather than a guessed route description. Enter latitude 40.1186 and longitude -74.953 into a mapping service with your own starting point, and compare the resulting route there; this article only documents the published great-circle pairings shown in the table.

If you were looking for a specific pair not listed in the table, this article cannot measure that segment. In that case, use the Bensalem, Pennsylvania coordinates as the fixed endpoint and a live map for your own origin.

FAQ

Is this article giving the driving distance to Parx Casino and Racing?

No. It gives only documented straight-line, great-circle distances from the venue to listed reference points. Road mileage is always longer, and the exact difference depends on the real route, water crossings, local street layout, and other routing constraints that a straight line ignores.

Does “street road” here mean the article can provide the exact street address?

No. The keyword includes that phrase, but the published reference sources available for this article do not include a street address. What can be documented is the venue’s location in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, its Bucks County setting northeast of Philadelphia, and its coordinates at latitude 40.1186 and longitude -74.953.

What is the most useful way to use the distance table if I am planning a trip?

Use it to understand geographic scale, not route planning. The table shows which reference points are comparatively closer or farther in straight-line terms, but you should still check a live map for the current drivable route from your own starting point and verify any changeable on-site details through the property’s own information channels.
