The documented city center of Las Vegas sits at 36.16916667 north latitude and -115.14055556 west longitude, and the nearest documented venue to that point is the D Las Vegas at 0.1 straight-line miles. Straight-line distance is not road distance; road travel is always longer, and this article publishes no driving mileage and no travel time for any route.
This page is about fixed positions, not about which venue currently spreads a live keno game. A keno lounge, a live draw schedule, or a machine-based keno offering is a changeable operational detail that no static geography article can confirm. What this article can give you is the documented physical layout of the downtown cluster where most of the named venues sit, so you can see which properties are within walking distance of each other before you call or visit to check the live keno question yourself.
The downtown cluster and its fixed coordinates
Every venue named in this article is documented within a few tenths of a straight-line mile of the Las Vegas city center point. That is not a coincidence: these properties sit along or just off the Fremont Street corridor, which forms the historic downtown casino district. The coordinates supplied for each venue place them in a tight grouping rather than spread across the wider Las Vegas Valley.
Las Vegas itself is in Clark County, Nevada, in the southern part of the state. The city center point documented here is roughly in the central part of the Las Vegas metropolitan area, with the downtown casino cluster occupying the older, northern end of the Strip-adjacent urban core. The coordinates alone support directional statements about relative position among the venues, not about road access or neighborhood character.
Documented straight-line distances from Las Vegas city center
The table below lists every venue-to-city pair supplied for this article. Each figure is a great-circle measurement between two documented coordinate points, not a road distance.
| Reference point | Straight-line miles | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
The tight 0.1-to-0.4-mile band covers the Fremont Street core. Stratosphere Tower and Jerry's Nugget sit further out at 1.7 straight-line miles each, which means they are not part of the immediate downtown walking cluster even though they are documented in the same city.
Why straight-line distance understates real travel
A great-circle figure is the shortest path over the earth's surface between two coordinate points. It ignores everything that shapes a trip: streets that follow a grid, one-way systems, pedestrian malls, rail corridors, and the need to enter a property at its public entrance rather than at its nearest wall.
In downtown Las Vegas, the Fremont Street Experience itself is a pedestrian-only covered mall. A venue that is 0.2 straight-line miles from the city center point may still require a walk around barriers, through a casino floor, or across an intersection that has no direct crossing. The road network adds distance on top of the straight-line figure, and no article can responsibly convert that into a walking time without knowing the reader's exact start point and route.
Water and terrain are not major factors within this particular downtown cluster, but they matter in principle: a straight line across a river, a freeway embankment, or a rail yard is not a walkable line. The same logic applies anywhere. Straight-line distance is a sorting tool, not a trip plan.
Your starting point is not fixed
If you searched with a phrase like "near me" or "from my location," this article cannot resolve that. The venue coordinates are fixed; your position is not. The correct comparison is between your own coordinates and the venue's coordinates, measured by whatever tool you are using.
To use this page from your own starting point, take the venue coordinates listed in the table above or in the venue facts below, then measure from your own location with a mapping application. The straight-line figures here are only useful as a relative comparison among the venues themselves, not as a distance from wherever you happen to be.
Documented venue facts
Several of the downtown venues have additional documented fields beyond their coordinates. These figures come from publicly published reference sources and describe a documented point in time; room counts, machine counts, and ownership change as properties are renovated, sold, or rebranded.
| Venue | Documented facility fields | Documented opening | Documented owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| D Las Vegas | 1,000 slot machines; 22 table games | July 2, 1980 | Derek and Greg Stevens |
| Four Queens | 105 slot machines; 115 hotel rooms | June 2, 1966 | Elsinore Corporation |
| Horseshoe | 366 hotel rooms | 1932 | TLC Casino Enterprises |
| Golden Nugget Las Vegas | 2,419 hotel rooms | 1984 | Landry's |
| Binion's | 366 hotel rooms | 1932 | TLC Casino Enterprises |
Horseshoe and Binion's share the same documented coordinates and the same documented hotel room count, which reflects a property history in which the same physical building has carried different names at different times. The Horseshoe ownership field is documented as TLC Casino Enterprises. Nothing in these facts states which of these venues currently offers live keno.
Live keno is an operational question, not a geographic one
A live keno game requires a draw schedule, a lounge or designated seating area, staff to run the game, and a current regulatory approval for that game type at that property. None of that is captured by coordinates, room counts, machine counts, or opening dates. A venue can add or remove a live keno offering without changing its physical location at all.
The only reliable way to confirm whether a specific Las Vegas venue currently spreads live keno is to contact that venue directly or check its own published gaming floor information. The Nevada Gaming Control Board also maintains current lists of approved games by location, and that is the authoritative channel for a complete, current answer. This article deliberately does not state which venues have live keno today, because no supplied fact supports such a statement.
What to confirm before you go
If your trip depends on live keno being available at a particular downtown property, confirm these changeable items through the venue's own channels before you travel:
- Whether the property currently operates a live keno lounge or a live draw, as opposed to video keno machines only.
- The draw schedule and whether it runs on the day and at the hour you plan to be there.
- Whether the keno area is open to all guests or restricted by tier, reservation, or minimum play.
- Whether the game is run by the venue itself or by a third-party keno operator under a separate arrangement.
- Whether the venue's published floor plan or directory still lists the keno area, since gaming floors are reconfigured frequently.
The venue's own guest services desk, its published gaming floor page, and the Nevada Gaming Control Board's current game location listings are the three channels that hold the current answer. None of them is a static geography fact, which is why this article stops at the fixed positions and documented facility figures.
FAQ
Does this article say which Las Vegas casinos have live keno?
No. Live keno availability is an operational detail that changes without any change to a venue's coordinates or documented facility counts. This article gives the fixed downtown geography and the documented venue facts, then points you to the venue's own channels and the Nevada Gaming Control Board for the current live keno answer.
How far apart are the downtown Las Vegas venues from each other?
The documented straight-line distances from the Las Vegas city center point range from 0.1 miles for the D Las Vegas to 0.4 miles for Golden Gate, Main Street, and Main Street Station. These are great-circle figures only. Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving or walking mileage.
Why are Horseshoe and Binion's listed with the same coordinates and room count?
Because the documented coordinate pair and the documented 366-room hotel figure are identical for both names. The same physical building has carried different names at different times, and the supplied facts reflect that shared history. Ownership is documented as TLC Casino Enterprises for both entries.
