Flamingo Las Vegas: Fixed Location and Measured Distances

The Flamingo's Position Is Fixed; Your Starting Point Is Not

The Flamingo Las Vegas sits at a documented coordinate of 36.11611111 north latitude and -115.17055556 west longitude, in Paradise, Nevada. That point is fixed, and every distance in this article is measured from it as a straight-line, great-circle figure. The moment you ask about tonight's bingo sessions, you are asking about something that changes daily, and this article does not publish session times for any venue.

Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance. A straight line ignores terrain, water, road networks, and state borders. This article does not publish driving miles, and it does not publish travel times. If you need to know how far you will drive, measure your own route from your starting point to the venue's documented coordinates.

What the Straight-Line Distances Show

The table below lists every reference point for which a straight-line distance to the Flamingo is documented. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, not a road measurement. The number tells you how far apart two points are if you could travel directly through the earth's surface curvature between them. It is useful for comparing relative proximity, not for planning a drive.

The Bourbon Street entry appears because a reference point with that name is documented at 0.2 straight-line miles from the Flamingo. That is not the famous Bourbon Street in New Orleans; it is a documented reference point near the venue's coordinates. The table reports the measurement as recorded.

Why Straight-Line and Road Distance Diverge

A great-circle distance is the shortest path along the earth's surface between two coordinates. A road route cannot follow that path. Mountains, rivers, lakes, and the layout of highways force a vehicle onto a longer course. Crossing a state line adds no distance by itself, but the road network on either side of a border is not designed to connect two arbitrary points directly.

For a venue in the Las Vegas Valley, the surrounding terrain is a major factor. The valley is bounded by mountain ranges, and roads follow passes and corridors rather than straight lines. A point that is 4.0 straight-line miles from downtown Las Vegas may require a noticeably longer drive because the street grid and freeway interchanges do not run directly between the two points. The same principle applies at every scale: a straight-line figure of 2,372.6 miles to Boston says nothing about the actual route, which will be longer.

Where the Flamingo Sits Within Nevada

The Flamingo is in Paradise, Nevada, an unincorporated town in Clark County that lies immediately south of the Las Vegas city limits. Its coordinates place it in the southern part of the state, near the Nevada-California border and east of the Spring Mountains. The venue is part of the Las Vegas Strip corridor, which runs through Paradise rather than through the city of Las Vegas itself.

Relative to other Nevada reference points in the table, the Flamingo is 11.9 straight-line miles from Henderson to the southeast, 74.1 straight-line miles from Laughlin to the south, and 345.9 straight-line miles from Reno to the northwest. Those figures describe position, not travel. Henderson and Laughlin are both in Clark County, while Reno is in Washoe County at the opposite end of the state.

Tonight's Bingo Sessions Are Not a Fixed Fact

The query asks what bingo sessions the Flamingo has tonight. Session schedules are operational details that change by day, season, and property decision. They are not part of the venue's fixed physical description, and this article does not publish them. A session that exists tonight may not exist next week, and a time posted last month may already be replaced.

What is fixed is the venue's location, its documented facility profile, and its ownership. The Flamingo opened its casino on December 26, 1946, and is owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment. Publicly published reference sources document a casino floor of 72,299 square feet, a 28-story hotel with 3,460 rooms, and an addition that featured 220 slot machines and 22 table games. Those figures describe a point in time and are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded.

How to Measure From Your Own Starting Point

If you are asking how far the Flamingo is from you, your starting point is not in this article. The venue's coordinates are fixed, but your location is not. To measure the straight-line distance from your own position, take your current latitude and longitude and compute the great-circle distance to 36.11611111, -115.17055556 using any standard distance calculator. To measure the road distance, use a mapping tool that routes from your address to the venue's documented coordinates.

Do not convert a straight-line figure into a driving estimate. A straight-line distance of 225.1 miles from Los Angeles does not mean a 225-mile drive. The actual road route crosses the Mojave Desert and follows interstate corridors that add substantial length. The only defensible use of the table above is relative comparison: San Diego is closer than Phoenix in a straight line, and both are closer than Denver.

What to Confirm Before You Go

If your purpose is to attend a bingo session at the Flamingo, confirm the session schedule through the venue's own published channels before travelling. The property's official website and its guest services desk are the authoritative sources for tonight's session times, buy-in requirements, and whether bingo is offered at all on a given date. Do not rely on third-party listings, which may be outdated.

Also confirm the venue's current operating status and any entry requirements. Ownership and branding of casino properties change through sales and rebrands, and the facility figures documented here may not reflect the most recent renovation. The fixed coordinates will not change, but everything operational can.

FAQ

Does this article list tonight's bingo sessions at the Flamingo?

No. Session schedules are operational details that change daily and are not part of the venue's fixed physical description. The authoritative source for tonight's sessions is the Flamingo's own published schedule or guest services desk. This article documents only the venue's fixed location, coordinates, and straight-line distances to reference points.

How far is the Flamingo from Las Vegas in a straight line?

The documented straight-line distance from the Flamingo to Las Vegas is 4.0 miles, measured as a great-circle figure. Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving miles or travel times. The venue is in Paradise, Nevada, immediately south of the Las Vegas city limits.

Why is road distance always longer than straight-line distance?

A straight line ignores terrain, water, and the road network. Mountains, rivers, and highway layouts force vehicles onto longer paths. The Las Vegas Valley is bounded by mountain ranges, so even a short straight-line distance can require a noticeably longer drive. Straight-line figures are useful for relative comparison, not for route planning.
