Sunset Station Casino Henderson Nevada: Fixed Position and Straight-Line Distances

Sunset Station in Henderson, Nevada sits 3.7 miles from Henderson in straight-line distance and 9.4 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 any travel time.

For this venue, the fixed point is documented: Sunset Station is in Henderson, Nevada, at coordinates 36.06083333, -115.04. That lets this article explain where the property is, how its published reference distances compare, and why those figures should be read as geographic orientation rather than route planning.

Where the venue is fixed on the map

Publicly published reference sources place Sunset Station in Henderson, in the state of Nevada. Its documented coordinates are 36.06083333 latitude and -115.04 longitude.

Those coordinates are the stable part of the question. A reader's own starting point can change, but the venue's position does not, which is why straight-line comparisons are useful for orientation even when they do not match what a road trip or transfer would look like on the ground.

Documented straight-line distances

The figures below are the injected venue-to-place pairs available for this property. Every value is a great-circle measurement, which means a straight line over the earth rather than a road route.

How to read those numbers correctly

A straight-line figure is best read as a map relationship. It tells you how far apart two fixed points are in geometric terms, not how a person, car, bus, or shuttle would move between them.

That gap exists because real travel follows available infrastructure. Roads curve, connect through junctions, avoid restricted land, cross state lines at particular points, and work around built-up areas rather than cutting through them in a perfect line.

Terrain can widen the difference too. Mountains, water, protected land, and the shape of the street network can all force detours, so a road route will be longer than the great-circle number even when the start and end points are close on a map.

Regional position in Nevada

Because the venue is in Henderson, Nevada, and its longitude is -115.04, it is fixed within southern Nevada rather than a moving reference like “near me.” The coordinates also place it east of places with more negative longitudes and west of places with less negative longitudes, while the latitude 36.06083333 places it north of lower-latitude points and south of higher-latitude points.

Within the published reference set, Sunset Station is shown as 3.7 straight-line miles from Henderson and 9.4 straight-line miles from Las Vegas. Those are the clearest local orientation points in the available material, and both should still be read as geographic rather than route figures.

Facility scale at the documented reference point in time

Publicly published reference sources describe Sunset Station as having 2,800 slot machines, 40 table games, and 448 hotel rooms. The same source material says it opened on June 10, 1997 and identifies the owner as Station Casinos.

These figures are useful for understanding the property as a physical venue, but they describe a documented point in time rather than guaranteeing the current on-site layout. Casino properties are rebuilt, expanded, and reconfigured over time, so readers should treat capacity figures as historical reference unless the venue itself confirms current counts.

What this article can measure, and what it cannot

This article can only publish the straight-line pairs that are already documented for this venue. If you wanted a different origin point that is not in the table, this page cannot measure that segment and should not guess.

That matters for search phrasing. The keyword here names the venue and city directly, so the reliable answer is the property's fixed location in Henderson, Nevada plus the published great-circle comparisons to reference places already on record.

If your own starting point is different, use the coordinates 36.06083333, -115.04 in a map tool and compare them against your own location. That gives you a current route from your true origin without pretending that a published straight-line figure is the same thing as road mileage.

What to confirm before you go

Before leaving, confirm the items that change in real time on the venue's own site or through its guest-services contact channel. That includes current access arrangements, parking terms, hotel availability, room categories, and any property map or amenity layout you intend to rely on.

If you are matching this article against another planner, check whether that planner is showing straight-line distance or route distance. The most common source of confusion is reading a geometric map figure as if it were a door-to-door road measurement.

FAQ

Is Sunset Station in Las Vegas or Henderson?

Publicly published reference sources place Sunset Station in Henderson, Nevada. The same material also gives a straight-line distance of 9.4 miles to Las Vegas and 3.7 miles to Henderson, which helps show the regional relationship without turning that into a road route.

Can this page tell me how far Sunset Station is from my location?

Only if your origin is one of the documented reference points already listed in the table. If it is not, this article cannot measure that distance. The reliable way to check is to enter the venue coordinates, 36.06083333 and -115.04, together with your own starting point in a map tool.

Are the room and gaming counts current?

The published figures in this article describe a documented reference point in time: 448 hotel rooms, 2,800 slot machines, and 40 table games.
