The Fixed Part: Downtown Las Vegas Coordinates
The city of Las Vegas sits at 36.16916667 north latitude and -115.14055556 west longitude. That coordinate is the anchor for every distance in this article, and the ten documented venues nearest to it are all within 1.7 straight-line miles of that point. The closest documented venue to the city coordinate is The D Las Vegas at 0.1 straight-line miles, followed by Four Queens at 0.2 and Horseshoe, Golden Nugget Las Vegas, and Binion's each at 0.3 straight-line miles.
Straight-line distance is not road distance. Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any pair. The figures below are great-circle measurements between documented coordinates only.
Documented Straight-Line Distances From Las Vegas
Every venue listed below has a documented coordinate in the reference set used for this article. The measurement type in every row is great-circle, meaning the shortest path over the earth's surface between two points, not a route a vehicle can drive.
| Reference point | Straight-line miles | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| The D Las Vegas | 0.1 | great-circle |
| Four Queens | 0.2 | great-circle |
| Horseshoe | 0.3 | great-circle |
| Golden Nugget Las Vegas | 0.3 | great-circle |
| Binion's | 0.3 | great-circle |
| Golden Gate | 0.4 | great-circle |
| Main Street | 0.4 | great-circle |
| Main Street Station | 0.4 | great-circle |
| Stratosphere Tower | 1.7 | great-circle |
| Jerry's Nugget | 1.7 | great-circle |
These ten venues are the only ones in the documented set with a measured distance to the Las Vegas city coordinate. The set contains 318 venues measured to this city in total, but the nearest-first listing above is capped at the ten closest. A complete current list of casinos in Nevada is held by the state gaming regulator, not by this article.
Why Straight-Line and Road Distance Diverge
A great-circle line ignores everything on the ground. It cuts across blocks, buildings, and any terrain between two coordinates. A vehicle cannot do that. The road network follows streets, intersections, and one-way systems, so the driven route is always longer than the straight line, often by a meaningful margin in a dense downtown grid.
In downtown Las Vegas, the divergence comes mainly from the street grid itself. Fremont Street and the surrounding blocks are laid out at angles and interrupted by pedestrian areas and property boundaries. A venue 0.3 straight-line miles away may require several turns and a much longer walk or drive. Water and terrain are not the main factors here, but in other regions a river, a mountain range, or a state boundary can force a route far off the straight line. None of that changes the coordinate distance, which is what the table above records.
Where These Venues Sit Within Las Vegas
The ten documented venues nearest the city coordinate are all in the downtown corridor, east and slightly north of the coordinate anchor. The D Las Vegas, Four Queens, Horseshoe, Golden Nugget Las Vegas, and Binion's are clustered within 0.3 straight-line miles of the anchor point, which places them in the Fremont Street area. Stratosphere Tower and Jerry's Nugget sit farther out at 1.7 straight-line miles, still within the same downtown basin but measurably separated from the core cluster.
The city of Las Vegas is in Clark County, in the southern part of the state of Nevada. The coordinate anchor places the documented venues in the central downtown area of that city, not on the Strip corridor several miles to the south. Ownership and branding of these properties change through sales and rebrands, so the names above reflect the documented reference set at the time it was compiled, not a live directory.
Live Keno Is a Changeable Offering, Not a Fixed Fact
The question asks which Las Vegas casinos still have live keno. That is a current-operations question, and current operations are exactly what this article cannot answer. Live keno is a table or lounge game that a property may run on certain days, during certain hours, or not at all, and that schedule changes without notice. No documented figure in this article's reference set states which of the ten venues above offers live keno today, this week, or this month.
What this article can tell you is which venues are physically clustered in downtown Las Vegas and how far each sits from the city coordinate. If your interest is live keno specifically, the venue's own gaming floor or guest services line is the authoritative channel for what is running right now. A published hours page or a call to the property before you travel is the only way to confirm a live keno game is being dealt on the day you arrive.
What to Confirm Before You Go
Several things change between the moment you read this and the moment you stand on Fremont Street. Confirm each one through the property's own published channels, not through a third-party summary.
- Whether live keno is currently offered at all, and in which room or lounge.
- The hours for live keno, if it is offered, since they may differ from the casino's general operating hours.
- The minimum and maximum wagers for the live keno game, which are set by the property and change.
- Whether the venue name or ownership has changed since the reference set was compiled, since casino properties are sold and rebranded.
- The exact street address and entrance to use, which this article does not publish.
The authoritative source for each of these is the venue's own website, its published gaming-floor information, or its guest services desk. A state gaming regulator holds the complete current list of licensed properties in Nevada, and that is the channel for verifying whether a venue is operating under a given name.
FAQ
Which downtown Las Vegas casino is closest to the city coordinate?
The D Las Vegas is the closest documented venue, at 0.1 straight-line miles from the Las Vegas city coordinate. Four Queens is next at 0.2 straight-line miles. These are great-circle figures, not walking or driving distances, and the actual route on the ground will be longer.
Does this article confirm which casinos have live keno right now?
No. Live keno is a changeable offering that depends on the property's current schedule, staffing, and floor configuration. No documented figure in this article states which venues offer live keno today. The venue's own gaming floor or guest services line is the authoritative source for that information.
Why are the distances in the table so small?
The table measures straight-line distance from the Las Vegas city coordinate to each documented venue, and all ten are in the downtown corridor. The largest figure is 1.7 straight-line miles to Stratosphere Tower and Jerry's Nugget. Road and walking distances are always longer because they follow streets and intersections rather than a direct line.
