Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
The fixed point you can anchor to
If you are trying to place the venue on a map before you think about any trip, the fixed point is its documented position in Richmond, British Columbia, along the Fraser River, at coordinates 49.196257, -123.128141. That is the part that does not depend on where you are starting from.
The venue named in this article is River Rock Casino Resort, also referred to as river rock in the published reference material. Publicly published reference sources describe it as a casino hotel in Richmond, British Columbia along the Fraser River, and note that ownership is with Great Canadian Entertainment. Ownership and branding can change over time, so treat that as a documented point-in-time description rather than a permanent condition.
Documented venue facts that help identify the place
For a reader trying to confirm they have the right property, the published reference material gives several fixed identifiers beyond the name and coordinates. It first opened to the public on June 25, 2004, and the hotel count is documented as 396 rooms.
The same source set documents 80 table games. Those figures help distinguish the physical venue from a generic search result, but they should still be read as published reference figures that can be revised when a property is rebuilt, expanded, or reconfigured.
Complete straight-line distance table
The table below reproduces every documented pair available for this venue. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, which means a straight line over the earth rather than a road route.

Why straight-line distance and real travel differ
A straight-line figure is useful because it fixes the venue's relative position against known places without depending on any one route choice. It answers the map question: how far apart are two points if you draw the shortest path over the earth's surface.
That is not the same as a road trip. Real travel has to follow the available network, and that network bends around coastlines, rivers, restricted crossings, built-up areas, and the geometry of the street system. The more those constraints matter between your starting point and Richmond, the wider the gap becomes between a great-circle number and a real route.
Water is one obvious reason the gap can grow. This venue is documented as being along the Fraser River, so local approach patterns are shaped by a river setting rather than by an unrestricted land grid.
Terrain also matters even when the straight line looks simple on a map. A straight line ignores elevation, shoreline shape, and the fact that roads are engineered for settlements and crossings rather than for geometric directness.
Administrative borders can matter too. A great-circle line passes over them without friction, but an actual route may have to use specific crossings and connected roads. That is why this article keeps the two ideas separate and labels every mileage figure as straight-line or great-circle.
Where the venue sits within its region
The venue is in Richmond, British Columbia. Using the documented coordinates, you can place it in the western hemisphere because the longitude is negative, and in the northern hemisphere because the latitude is positive.
Those coordinates also place it on the Pacific side of Canada rather than in the country's interior or east. Within British Columbia, the published location description adds a local landmark frame by placing it along the Fraser River.
For a reader comparing reference points, the documented distance set shows the same regional pattern. Seattle at 116.0 straight-line miles and Portland at 254.9 straight-line miles are much nearer in straight-line terms than eastern reference points such as Washington DC at 2357.1, Philadelphia at 2402.0, Manhattan at 2426.9, or Boston at 2502.0.
The same pattern appears when comparing western and central points. Reno is listed at 687.8 straight-line miles, Sacramento Airport at 729.5, Sacramento at 737.9, San Francisco at 789.8, and Denver at 1102.9, while Chicago is 1772.5 and Toronto is 2088.2 straight-line miles away.
How to use this article if your own starting point is not listed
The venue's location is fixed; your location is not. If your exact starting point does not appear in the documented distance list above, this article cannot measure that pair and should not guess it.
In that case, use the coordinates 49.196257, -123.128141 as the venue anchor and compare yourself against the listed reference points that are nearest to your own origin. That gives you a defensible sense of regional position without inventing a road distance or a travel time.
If you need the exact current route from your own starting point, the right place to get it is a live mapping service that can calculate from your chosen origin to the venue's current map pin. That is also where temporary closures, detours, and route-specific conditions belong, because those are changeable and are not part of a fixed location explainer.
What to confirm before you go
Before leaving, confirm the venue's current map pin, arrival instructions, and any on-site access details through the property's own location or contact page. A fixed-location article can tell you where the place is in geographic terms, but not the live routing conditions on the day you travel.
If you are also trying to plan lodging or on-site logistics, confirm the venue's current room inventory presentation, parking arrangements, and any guest-access policies through the property's own booking and guest-services channels. Publicly published reference sources document 396 hotel rooms and 80 table games, but operational details can change even when the physical site remains the same.
It is also worth confirming whether the name, branding, or ownership presentation you see today matches the point-in-time references used here. The published source material identifies Great Canadian Entertainment as owner, but property branding and corporate structures are the kinds of details readers should recheck before relying on them for travel planning.
FAQ
Is River Rock Casino Resort in Vancouver or Richmond?
The published reference material places River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond, British Columbia, along the Fraser River. This article therefore treats Richmond as the fixed city location. If you are planning a trip, use the documented coordinates and the property's own current map pin to confirm the exact arrival point rather than relying on broader metro-area naming.
Can this article tell me the driving distance to River Rock Casino Resort?
No. The documented mileage figures available here are great-circle, or straight-line, distances only, and road distance is always longer. Because route choice, crossings, detours, and local conditions can all change, the current driving mileage belongs on a live mapping service rather than in a fixed geographic reference article.
How can I tell whether I am looking at the right River Rock property?
Use the combination of name, city, coordinates, and documented venue details. Publicly published reference sources identify River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond, British Columbia at 49.196257, -123.128141, with 396 hotel rooms, 80 table games, an opening date of June 25, 2004, and ownership identified as Great Canadian Entertainment at the time of those references.
