The venue identified by the keyword is Rivers Casino Portsmouth. Publicly published reference sources place it in Portsmouth, Virginia, in the Hampton Roads city of Portsmouth, with coordinates 36.80722222, -76.35388889.
Those coordinates are the fixed point that makes every distance in this article possible. Your own starting point may change, but the venue's location does not, which is why a location-first explanation is more dependable than any unsourced claim about routes or trip length.

How to read these numbers correctly
A straight-line figure is best understood as a positional reference, not as a trip plan. It shows how far apart two points sit on the map in pure geometric terms.
Actual travel is longer because roads do not run as straight lines between coordinate pairs. The difference grows when a route has to bend around water, follow the available street and highway network, cross bridges or tunnels, detour around restricted land uses, or connect through crossing points at state lines and local boundaries.
That matters in Hampton Roads more than in an inland grid. A place can be modestly separated in straight-line terms while the real road path is materially longer because the transport network must work around waterways and the shape of the urban area.
For that reason, this article keeps the measurement type explicit. If you need a trip-ready road number, the right place to get it is a current map service using your own exact starting point and preferred travel mode.
Regional position of the venue
The documented coordinates place the casino in southeastern Virginia. Because the venue sits in Portsmouth, Virginia, any reader can anchor it first to the state and city before worrying about a route.
The coordinate pair also helps explain why many East Coast reference points show lower straight-line figures than Midwestern, Gulf Coast, or western reference points in the table. That is not a judgment about convenience; it is simply the geographic consequence of where southeastern Virginia sits relative to those places.
Within the venue itself, publicly published reference sources describe a casino floor of 50,000 square feet with approximately 1,448 slot machines and 57 table games. Those figures describe a documented point in time and help indicate scale, not current conditions on the floor.
The same source set identifies the owner as Rush Street Gaming and gives an opening date of January 23, 2023. Those details help place the property in time and business structure, but they do not change the fixed geographic point used for the distance table.
If the place you care about is not in the table
This article can only measure the pairs listed above. If you wanted a straight-line figure from the venue to some other city, airport, stadium, neighborhood, or your own address, this article cannot publish that number unless that exact pair is already documented here.
The practical workaround is simple. Use the venue's fixed coordinates, 36.80722222 and -76.35388889, in a map tool and compare them to your own starting point. That gives you a result tied to your actual location rather than a guessed departure city.
This matters especially for readers who arrive with a phrase like near me, from here, or from my location. The venue's position is fixed; your position is not, so the only honest way to answer is to give the venue coordinates and the documented reference-city comparisons, then leave your personal measurement to a live map service.
What to confirm before you go
Distance is only one part of a real trip. Before leaving, confirm the current route in a map service, because road closures, bridge use, construction, and your selected mode of travel all affect the path in ways that straight-line numbers do not capture.
Also confirm changeable venue details on the property's own visitor information channels. Items worth checking include current hours, parking arrangements, event schedules, hotel availability if relevant to your trip, and any access policies that may matter on the day you travel.
If your reason for comparing cities is to choose between air, rail, bus, or car, use the straight-line table only as a geographic orientation tool. The authoritative current answer for a real journey lives with the transport provider or mapping platform you will actually use.
FAQ
Is Portsmouth casino the same place as Rivers Casino Portsmouth?
For this article, yes. The documented venue attached to the keyword is Rivers Casino Portsmouth, located in Portsmouth, Virginia. Publicly published reference sources identify that venue, give its coordinates, and place it adjacent to the Tidewater Community College - Portsmouth Campus.
Can this article tell me how far the casino is from my house?
No, not unless your exact starting point matches one of the documented reference pairs already listed. This article can give the venue's fixed coordinates and its published straight-line distances to named places in the table, but your own start point has to be measured in a live map service.
Do the listed miles match what I would drive?
No. Every mileage figure here is labeled as great-circle, which means straight-line distance between coordinate points. Real road travel is always longer, sometimes substantially longer, because it has to follow the available network and work around water, land use patterns, and crossing points.
