Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino Las Vegas NV: Fixed Location and Straight-Line Distances

Westgate Las Vegas sits a documented 2.4 miles straight-line from Las Vegas, 11.8 miles straight-line from Henderson, and 238.5 miles straight-line from LAX. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

The fixed point you can anchor to

If you are trying to place this venue on a map, the fixed fact is its documented position in Winchester, Nevada, at latitude 36.13555556 and longitude -115.1525. The venue name in this article follows the keyword, while publicly published reference sources identify the property as Westgate Las Vegas; property names and branding can change over time.

Those coordinates place it in southern Nevada. From the longitude and latitude alone, you can also see that it lies west of places with more easterly longitudes and east of places with more westerly longitudes, while its north-south relationship to another place depends on that place's own latitude.

Documented venue facts that help with orientation

This is a large, established property rather than a small local room. Publicly published reference sources describe 54,923 square feet of gaming space, 576 slot machines, 38 table games, and 2,956 hotel rooms, with an opening date of 1969 and ownership identified as Westgate Resorts.

Those figures are useful mainly because they tell you the scale of the site you are trying to locate. Facility counts, floor area, and ownership describe a documented point in time and can change as properties are rebuilt, reconfigured, sold, or rebranded.

Full straight-line distance table

The table below reproduces every documented venue-to-reference pairing available for this property. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, not a road route.

Why straight-line and real-world travel differ

A straight-line figure is the shortest path over the earth's surface between two coordinate points. That makes it useful for comparing geographic position, but it is not the same thing as the route a person, car, or bus can follow.

Road distance becomes longer because transport networks rarely run in a perfect line from origin to destination. Terrain, water, built-up areas, one-way systems, access roads, property boundaries, and state-line routing choices all force detours, and those detours accumulate.

That is why the distance caveat matters so much here: every figure above is great-circle only. If you need the route you would physically take, the right place to confirm it is a current mapping service using your own exact starting point.

How to read the venue's regional position

The venue is documented in Winchester, Nevada, not in a generic undefined "Las Vegas area" location. Publicly published reference sources also place it near the northern end of the Las Vegas Strip, which helps explain why the straight-line figure to Las Vegas is only 2.4 miles.

Within the supplied reference set, nearby points include Las Vegas at 2.4 miles straight-line and Henderson at 11.8 miles straight-line. Farther afield, the same fixed point can be compared with Los Angeles at 226.8 miles straight-line, Phoenix at 254.9 miles straight-line, Denver at 606.7 miles straight-line, Seattle at 873.3 miles straight-line, and NYC or Manhattan at 2229.1 miles straight-line.

That spread shows the practical value of a fixed-coordinate article: the venue does not move, but readers approach it from many different places. A single coordinate pair lets you compare your own origin against the same stable destination, even when this article does not have your exact pair in its published matrix.

If your starting point is not in the table

The keyword here names the venue rather than a specific origin city, so the article can describe the venue's fixed location well. What it cannot do is invent a distance from a place that is not one of the documented reference points above.

If the place you care about is not listed, this article cannot measure that segment. The honest fallback is to use the venue's coordinates, 36.13555556 and -115.1525, in a mapping tool and compare your own starting point there, while keeping in mind that any route result will be a road or transit calculation rather than the great-circle figures shown above.

What to confirm before you go

Before you travel, confirm the changeable details from the venue's own current channels. The most important items are arrival instructions, parking arrangements, hotel booking details, event-specific access rules, and any property-name or branding changes that may affect map searches.

If you are booking lodging, also confirm room availability, check-in policies, and any taxes or property-level charges shown during the booking flow. If you are visiting only the casino or another on-site facility, confirm the current access information on the venue's official contact or visitor pages rather than relying on older map snippets or third-party listings.

FAQ

Is Westgate Las Vegas in Las Vegas or Winchester?

Publicly published reference sources place the venue in Winchester, Nevada. The same sources also describe it as near the northern end of the Las Vegas Strip, which is why a documented Las Vegas pairing still appears in the distance table at 2.4 miles straight-line. Municipal labels and metro-area labels are not always the same thing.

Can I use the mileage in this article as my driving distance?

No. Every mileage figure here is explicitly a straight-line, great-circle measurement between coordinates. Real routes are longer because roads, access points, property layouts, and regional geography do not let you travel in a perfect line. For a current route, use a live mapping service with your own exact origin and destination settings.

How large is the venue I am trying to locate?

Publicly published reference sources describe a property with 2,956 hotel rooms, 54,923 square feet of gaming space, 576 slot machines, and 38 table games. Those figures help you understand the scale of the site, but they describe a documented point in time rather than a permanent present-day inventory.
