If you are trying to place Four Queens Hotel and Casino on the map before you book or travel, the fixed facts are its Las Vegas location and a small set of historical facility figures; what this article cannot give you is any current room price, live availability, or operating-hour detail. It can, however, show where the property sits, what publicly published reference sources document about its opening and size at specific points in time, how straight-line distance figures should be read, and what variables shape the lodging bill you will eventually see.
Publicly published reference sources place Four Queens at latitude 36.16972222 and longitude -115.14361111 in Las Vegas. Those same sources document an opening date of June 2, 1966, a historical hotel figure of 115 rooms at opening, and a historical casino expansion figure of 105 slot machines for the Four Queens Arcade in 1972. Ownership and facility figures can change over time, so any size or ownership statement should be read as a documented point in time rather than a guarantee about today.
Documented venue facts
The subject here is the venue commonly referred to as Four Queens. Publicly published reference sources identify Elsinore Corporation as the owner for the documented period described in those sources, and they place the casino opening on June 2, 1966, with the hotel following two months later.
For facility scale, the usable published figures are limited. The hotel opened with 115 rooms, and a later source sentence notes a 10-story addition completed in 1969; separately, the Four Queens Arcade expansion opened in 1972 with 105 slot machines and a bar. Because those figures come from different moments in the property's history, they are best treated as historical markers, not a current inventory statement.
Where it sits and how to read distance figures
The venue is in Las Vegas, and the documented coordinates make it possible to compare it with specific reference places that have published straight-line measurements. These are great-circle figures only. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish road mileage or travel time.
| Reference point | Distance | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas | 0.2 miles | Straight-line |
| Henderson | 13.0 miles | Straight-line |
| Laughlin | 76.9 miles | Straight-line |
| Palm Springs | 180.1 miles | Straight-line |
| Los Angeles | 228.6 miles | Straight-line |
| LAX | 240.3 miles | Straight-line |
| Phoenix | 256.3 miles | Straight-line |
| Reno | 344.4 miles | Straight-line |
| Sacramento | 386.4 miles | Straight-line |
| San Francisco | 416.4 miles | Straight-line |
That table is useful for orientation, not routing. A straight-line figure helps you compare general position relative to other cities, but it does not tell you which roads you would use, how long a drive would take, or what an actual transport itinerary would cost.
If your own starting point is different, the safe way to proceed is to use the venue's documented city and coordinates as the fixed end point and then measure from your location with a map service. That will give you road mileage, live route conditions, and the practical transport choices this article cannot publish.
Lodging: what changes the room total
No responsible article should print a room rate here without a live booking screen in front of it, because hotel pricing changes by date, inventory, and booking channel. The useful part is understanding what drives the total and what line items to inspect before you commit.
The first driver is demand by date. Weekday and weekend pricing can differ, and event periods can move rates independently of the normal calendar pattern. Advance purchase timing also matters: the same room can price differently depending on how far ahead you book and what cancellation terms are attached.
The second driver is what exactly is being sold. Room category, tower or building assignment where relevant, included benefits, and whether a separate resort fee is charged all affect the final bill. Tax treatment matters too, because the total shown early in a booking path may not match the final amount until taxes and any separate property fees are added.
The third driver is who is booking and through which channel. A venue's own booking channel and a third-party travel seller can display different public prices, package structures, and change rules. Member pricing can differ from public pricing, but it may come with identity verification at check-in and terms that are not identical to a standard public reservation.
| Variable | How it can affect the final bill | What to verify before you confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Weekday versus weekend | Demand patterns can shift the nightly base rate | Check the rate calendar across nearby dates, not just one night |
| Event period | High-demand dates can change availability and booking terms | Confirm cancellation rules and whether the quoted rate is refundable |
| Room category or tower | Different inventory types can carry different base prices | Make sure the confirmation names the room type you expect |
| Advance booking window | Earlier or later booking can expose different rate products | Compare flexible and prepaid terms before paying |
| Resort fee as a separate line | A separate property fee can change the total beyond the nightly rate | Check whether it is included in the headline total or added later |
| Taxes and fee display | The first screen may not show the full stay total | Review the final breakdown before purchase |
| Member rate versus public rate | Member pricing may differ from open pricing | Confirm eligibility, change rules, and whether benefits differ |
| Direct channel versus third-party channel | The seller can affect amendment rights, bundled items, and loyalty credit treatment | Read who holds the reservation and who handles changes or disputes |
Booking channels and why they matter
There are two broad channel types: the property's own reservation channel and third-party travel sellers. A direct booking is handled by the property or its reservation system, while a third-party booking is held by an intermediary whose terms govern many changes even when the stay itself is at the same venue.
This matters because the cheapest displayed headline is not always the simplest reservation. Third-party listings may package the stay differently, and they can affect whether member benefits, loyalty earning, or property-specific modifications apply in the same way as a direct booking. The practical question is not just price; it is who controls changes, cancellations, and any mismatch at check-in.
Check-in and check-out details to confirm
Before arrival, confirm the operational details that most often create friction at the desk. That includes identification requirements, minimum check-in age, whether a deposit authorization is taken on a payment card, and what happens if you arrive before a room is ready.
Also confirm the property's handling of luggage storage, late arrival notes, and how parking treatment works on the day you check out. Even when parking is included or available during an overnight stay, the status can change after checkout, so that is a detail worth confirming in the property's own pre-arrival material or with guest services.
How comping works
Comping is best understood as a pricing system tied to expected gambling loss, not as free travel. In general casino practice, comps are issued from theoretical loss: a projection built from average bet, time played, and the house edge of the games involved. The room, food credit, or other offer is funded out of that projected loss rather than appearing from nowhere.
That is why chasing a comp by increasing play is financially backward. If you gamble more than you otherwise would in order to trigger an offer, the expected cost of that extra play is higher than the value of the room or other perk you are trying to receive. The comp is a rebate on expected loss, not a strategy for obtaining something for nothing.
The structure usually has several layers. Some offers are generated automatically through a loyalty system, some are tied to tier status, some are issued as personalised marketing offers, and some are discretionary decisions by a host looking at a player's tracked worth to the property. Because those inputs differ by person and by period, mailed or account-based offers can vary sharply even between players who think they are behaving similarly.
The right way to read a comp offer is as a personalised commercial estimate by the property, not as an entitlement and not as a universal threshold that anyone can reproduce. Terms, blackout rules, and included items can differ, and current details belong on the property's own offer page or with casino-host or loyalty-desk staff, not in a static article.
What to confirm before you go
The items most likely to change between reading and arrival are room rates, taxes, any separate resort-fee treatment, booking terms, check-in and check-out timing, deposit authorization policy, age and identification requirements, parking treatment after checkout, and any loyalty or comp offer conditions. Those are live operational matters.
The authoritative source for each is the property's own booking path, reservation terms, pre-arrival messages, guest-services desk, and any account-specific offer page if you are traveling on a comp or member rate. If you booked through a third party, also verify which seller controls changes, because the property and the intermediary may not apply the same amendment process.
FAQ
How far is Four Queens Hotel and Casino from Las Vegas?
The documented Las Vegas comparison is 0.2 miles in straight-line distance. That is an as-the-crow-flies figure based on published reference points, not a road route. If you need driving mileage or the practical approach from your own starting point, use a live map service because road distance is always longer and can vary by route.
Does this article list Four Queens room prices?
No. Room pricing is a live booking variable shaped by date, room type, booking channel, taxes, and whether a separate resort fee is charged. The reliable place to get the current total is the property's own booking page or, if you are using an intermediary, the exact final checkout screen and terms on that seller's reservation page.
Can a comp room be treated as free?
Not in the economic sense. A comp is generally funded from theoretical loss, which is the property's estimate of expected gambling loss based on tracked play. That is why increasing play to chase a room is unfavorable on expectation: the extra expected loss is higher than the value of the room. Offers also differ from player to player and period to period.
