Suncoast Casino fixed location and straight-line distances

Suncoast Casino sits 8.4 miles from Las Vegas in straight-line distance. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The fixed point here is the venue known publicly as Suncoast Hotel and Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada, at coordinates 36.169044, -115.291772. Publicly published reference sources also describe a hotel with 432 rooms, 48 table games, an opening date of September 12, 2000, and ownership by Boyd Gaming; figures like room counts and gaming inventory describe a documented point in time and can change as properties are rebuilt or reconfigured.

Documented position of the venue

For a reader trying to place the property on the map, the core fact is simple: the venue is in Las Vegas, in the state of Nevada. The coordinates place it in the western United States, and the longitude shows it lies well west of reference cities such as Denver, Dallas, Chicago, and New York City that appear in the documented distance set.

The venue's latitude also places it south of cities such as Reno, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Boston, and Buffalo in the same set. By contrast, it is north of Phoenix, San Antonio, Houston, New Orleans, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, and Daytona Beach. Those directional relationships come from the coordinates and the named states or cities in the published references, not from road routing.

All documented straight-line distances

The table below lists every documented venue-to-reference pairing available for this property. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, which means a straight-line distance over the earth rather than a road route.

Why straight-line and real-world travel differ

A straight-line figure is useful for orientation because it shows raw geographic separation without the distortions of a transport network. It answers questions such as whether a place is broadly nearer to Los Angeles than to Denver, or whether a city is west or east of the venue, without pretending to be a route plan.

Real-world travel is different because roads do not run as a perfect line between two coordinates. Terrain can force detours, water can block direct paths, urban street grids can add local circulation, state boundaries can shape route choices, and the available road network may bend around protected land, built-up areas, or mountain corridors. That is why publicly published reference sources pair this venue with great-circle distances only and explicitly note that driving is always longer.

How to read the location in regional terms

At 36.169044 latitude and -115.291772 longitude, the venue is positioned in southern Nevada within Las Vegas. That makes it part of the Mojave Desert side of the western United States rather than the Pacific coast itself, which is why coast-facing reference points such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Portland, Seattle, Miami, Boston, and Philadelphia all appear as external comparison points rather than local ones.

The published pairings also show the venue's relative placement across the country without needing any unsupported route claims. It is documented as 176.5 straight-line miles from Palm Springs, 222.2 from Los Angeles, 261.4 from San Diego, 262.0 from Phoenix, 338.5 from Reno, and 612.6 from Denver, which together sketch its position in the interior Southwest and its separation from both the California coast and the Rocky Mountain Front Range.

What the venue facts say about the property itself

This article is about place first, but a few fixed venue facts help a reader identify the correct property. Publicly published reference sources describe Suncoast Hotel and Casino as opening on September 12, 2000, with Boyd Gaming as owner and operator at the documented point in time cited there.

The same references describe 432 hotel rooms and 48 table games. Those figures do not tell you anything about current room availability, opening hours, or the present mix of amenities, but they do confirm that this is a full hotel-casino property rather than a small gaming room.

What to confirm before you go

The location is fixed, but many trip-planning details are not. Before setting out, confirm the current address presentation on the property's own contact page, current parking arrangements, hotel availability, venue access rules, and the operating hours of any specific amenity you intend to use.

If you are trying to measure from a starting point not listed in the table above, this article cannot supply that distance. The practical way to check is to place your own origin and the venue coordinates into a map tool, then compare both straight-line and routed results so you can see the gap between geographic separation and actual travel.

Ownership, branding, room inventory, and gaming-floor composition can also change over time through renovation or corporate transactions. For that reason, use the venue's own booking, contact, and guest-information pages for anything current, and use the figures here as documented reference points rather than live operational data.

FAQ

Is Suncoast Casino in Las Vegas or outside it?

The documented venue location is Las Vegas, Nevada. The published coordinate point is 36.169044, -115.291772, and the distance table also includes a Las Vegas pairing of 8.4 miles in straight-line terms, which is an orientation measure rather than a road route.

Can this article tell me how far Suncoast Casino is by car?
