If you are trying to place Suncoast Hotel and Casino on the map before you book or travel, the fixed facts are straightforward: it is in Las Vegas, Nevada, at documented coordinates 36.169044, -115.291772. This article can give you the venue's published location context, a few documented facility figures, and the structure behind hotel billing and comping, but it does not publish live room prices, opening hours, or road mileage.
Publicly published reference sources describe Suncoast Hotel and Casino as opening on September 12, 2000 and being owned by Boyd Gaming. As with most casino properties, figures such as room count, gaming mix, and ownership should be read as documented at a point in time, because properties are renovated, expanded, sold, and rebranded.
Documented venue snapshot
The venue's documented city is Las Vegas in the state of Nevada. Its published coordinates are 36.169044 latitude and -115.291772 longitude, which are the most precise fixed way to place it when you are comparing it with your own starting point.
Publicly published reference sources attribute 432 hotel rooms to the property and 48 table games in the casino. Those figures help describe scale, but they do not tell you anything current about availability, room type mix, or what is operating on a given day.

Where it sits relative to documented reference points
For travel planning, the safest way to read the distance figures here is as straight-line measurements only. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish road mileage or travel times.
The documented reference point called Las Vegas is 8.4 miles away in straight-line terms, Henderson is 19.6 miles away straight-line, Laughlin is 80.4 miles away straight-line, and Los Angeles is 222.2 miles away straight-line. If you are measuring from somewhere else, use the venue coordinates with your own mapping tool rather than inferring from these figures.
| Reference point | Distance | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas | 8.4 miles | Straight-line |
| Henderson | 19.6 miles | Straight-line |
| Laughlin | 80.4 miles | Straight-line |
| Palm Springs | 176.5 miles | Straight-line |
| Los Angeles | 222.2 miles | Straight-line |
| LAX | 233.9 miles | Straight-line |
| Phoenix | 262.0 miles | Straight-line |
| San Diego | 261.4 miles | Straight-line |
| Denver | 612.6 miles | Straight-line |
| Seattle | 868.2 miles | Straight-line |
If your question is really about getting there from your own location, this article cannot resolve a custom starting point unless it matches one of the documented reference places above. The practical method is to plug the coordinates into a map, then compare the route options, parking terms, and arrival instructions on the venue's own travel or hotel pages.
How the lodging bill is structured
The important thing to know before booking is that a hotel total is usually a stack of components rather than a single room figure. Even when two listings appear to describe the same stay, the final bill can differ because of booking channel, cancellation terms, what taxes are included or excluded in the display, and whether a resort fee appears as a separate line.
At a property with a documented hotel inventory of 432 rooms, room pricing is still not one universal number. It changes with timing and booking conditions, not just with the fact that rooms exist on site.
| Variable | How it can affect the final bill | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Weekday versus weekend | Demand can shift the room rate for the same property and stay length | Whether the displayed rate applies to each night or only part of the stay |
| Event dates and busy periods | Higher demand can change both price and cancellation terms | Whether your dates coincide with major citywide demand |
| Room type or tower assignment | Different categories can carry different base rates | Exactly which room category is being sold |
| Advance purchase versus flexible booking | Lower displayed rates can come with stricter changes or refunds | The cancellation and modification policy |
| Resort fee as a separate line | A rate can look lower before mandatory add-ons are shown | Whether the quote includes or excludes that separate charge |
| Tax treatment | Some displays show tax later in the booking flow | The full pre-arrival total and what is still due at check-in |
| Member rate versus public rate | Logged-in pricing may differ from public pricing and may follow different rules | Eligibility, cancellation terms, and whether points or stay credit apply |
| Property channel versus third-party channel | The headline price may differ, but so can support and change handling | Who manages modifications, refunds, and booking errors |
Booking channels and why they matter
There are two broad channel types to compare: the property's own booking channel and third-party travel sellers. The venue's own channel is usually the clearest place to verify current room types, package terms, member pricing, and on-property policies, while third-party listings may package stays differently or handle after-sales changes through their own support systems.
This difference matters because the cheapest-looking listing is not always the simplest one to manage later. Third-party bookings can affect whether loyalty benefits attach automatically, who must process date changes, and how a cancellation deadline is interpreted if there is a dispute.
Check-in and check-out points to verify
Before you travel, confirm the practical items that affect your arrival even when the booking itself is valid. These include identification requirements, the minimum age for check-in, whether a payment-card authorization or deposit hold is taken at arrival, and how early-arrival baggage storage is handled if your room is not yet ready.
Do the same for departure. Confirm the check-out method, whether any incidental hold releases immediately or later through your card issuer, and whether parking terms change after check-out if you plan to leave a vehicle on site longer than your room stay.
How comping works
Comping is best understood as an accounting decision, not as free travel. A comped room or other casino benefit is generally funded out of theoretical loss, which is a projection of expected loss derived from factors such as average bet, time played, and the built-in house advantage of the games involved.
That matters because chasing a comp by increasing play is a losing proposition in expectation. The expected cost of the extra play is higher than the value of the room or perk you are trying to obtain, which is why comping should be read as a rebate on gambling activity rather than a bargain-hunting strategy.
In practice, casinos often combine several comping mechanisms. A loyalty system may track play and generate earned benefits automatically, while hosts may also have discretion to extend offers based on a patron's play history, and marketing departments may send mail or digital offers that differ from person to person.
Those offers vary because the underlying projections vary. Two guests staying at the same property can receive different room offers, different timing, or no offer at all, even when both are looking at the same dates, because the system is pricing the expected gambling value of each customer rather than applying one universal lodging rule.
What to confirm before you go
The changeable items are the ones that matter most close to travel day: current room rates, whether taxes and any resort fee are included in the displayed quote, room category wording, cancellation deadlines, check-in and check-out policy, parking terms connected to a hotel stay, and whether your booking channel or membership status changes any of those terms.
The authoritative place to confirm those items is the venue's own hotel booking path and its guest-services or hotel-information pages. If you booked through a third party, also verify the same details in that seller's confirmation because the modification rules and included items may not match the property's direct-booking terms.
FAQ
Where is Suncoast Hotel and Casino located?
Publicly published reference sources place Suncoast Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, at coordinates 36.169044, -115.291772. If you need to compare it with your own starting point, use those coordinates in a map. The straight-line figures in this article are useful for orientation only and are not road miles.
How many rooms and table games does Suncoast Hotel and Casino have?
Publicly published reference sources document 432 hotel rooms and 48 table games for the property. Read those as point-in-time facility figures rather than live operational counts. They describe scale, but they do not tell you current availability, what room categories are on sale today, or what is open at the moment you plan to visit.
Does comping mean the room is really free?
Not in the economic sense. Comping is generally funded from theoretical loss, meaning the property expects gambling activity to generate enough projected loss to cover some of the value it returns in rooms or other benefits. That is why increasing play to chase a comp costs more in expectation than the comp itself is worth.
