Sunset Station Casino: Fixed Location and Documented Straight-Line Distances

Sunset Station Casino sits 3.7 miles from Henderson and 9.4 miles from Las Vegas in straight-line measurement. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The fixed position of the venue

For a reader trying to place the property on the map, the stable facts are its coordinates and its city and state. Publicly published reference sources place Sunset Station in Henderson, Nevada, at 36.06083333 latitude and -115.04 longitude.

That means the venue has a fixed geographic position in southern Nevada. Your route to it can vary, but the venue itself does not move, which is why a distance table works best when it uses one measurement method consistently.

Documented straight-line distances

The figures below are great-circle measurements from the venue to each documented reference point. Great-circle means straight-line over the earth's surface, not the length of a road trip.

Why straight-line and road distance are different

Straight-line distance is useful because it gives one clean geographic comparison from the same fixed point. It measures the shortest path between two coordinates over the earth's curvature, without asking which roads, bridges, or state-border crossings a traveller would use.

Real trips are longer because roads do not run as direct geometric lines. The gap comes from terrain, water barriers, urban street layouts, limited crossing points, route design, and the need to detour around areas where no direct road exists.

For longer journeys, the difference can widen further when a route has to pass through several states or fit the shape of an established road network. That is why this article labels every mileage figure as straight-line and does not convert any of them into road mileage.

How to read the venue's regional position

Sunset Station is in Henderson, Nevada. Using its coordinates, you can place it in the southern part of the state rather than in northern Nevada.

The longitude of -115.04 places it in the western United States, and the latitude of 36.06083333 places it well south within Nevada. In practical map-reading terms, this is a southern Nevada venue in the Henderson area, with a documented straight-line distance of 3.7 miles to Henderson and 9.4 miles to Las Vegas.

Documented size and property facts

If your question is not only where the venue is but also what kind of physical site it is, the published reference sources give a dated snapshot of the property. Those figures describe a documented point in time and can change when a property is rebuilt, expanded, or reconfigured.

The venue opened on June 10, 1997. Publicly published reference sources also attribute 2,800 slot machines, 40 table games, and 448 hotel rooms to the property, and identify Station Casinos as the owner.

These figures help put the location in context: this is not just a point on a map, but a hotel-casino property in Henderson, Nevada. Even so, figures such as room counts and gaming inventory are historical facility facts, not a live operational feed.

If the pair you want is not in the table

This article can only state straight-line distances for the reference points listed above. If you want the distance from Sunset Station Casino to another city, airport, landmark, or your own location, and that pair is not one of the documented entries, this article cannot measure it.

In that case, use the venue coordinates together with your own starting point in a map tool that can calculate either straight-line or routed distance. Keep the distinction clear: a map can show both, but they are not interchangeable.

What to confirm before you go

Before setting out, confirm the changeable details on the venue's own property pages or through its guest-services contact channel. The items most likely to affect a visit are current access arrangements, parking rules, hotel availability, and any venue-specific entry or age policies.

If you are comparing the venue with another property, re-check ownership, branding, and facility totals as well. Casino properties change over time, so the safest approach is to treat the figures here as documented reference points and the venue's own current channels as the final word on anything live.
