One Search, Two Different Problems
The D Las Vegas sits 0.1 straight-line miles from the reference point for Las Vegas, and Four Queens sits 0.2 straight-line miles from that same point. Those are the two closest documented venues to the city center in the data this article can draw on. But a straight-line figure answers only half of what a blackjack switch player needs to know.
Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time. The more difficult half is that blackjack switch is not a permanent, fixed feature of any casino floor in the way a building's address is. Table game availability changes by shift, by pit configuration, and by management decision, and no static article can tell you which felt is open tonight.
What this article can do is anchor the search geographically: where the documented downtown Las Vegas venues sit relative to the city reference point, how straight-line distance differs from the route you will travel, and which channel carries the current answer for a specific game.
The Fixed Part: Where the Documented Venues Sit
Las Vegas is documented at latitude 36.16916667 and longitude -115.14055556. That point is the reference for every straight-line measurement in this article. The venues documented nearest to it are clustered in downtown Las Vegas, not on the Strip, which matters if you are planning a walkable table-game search.
The table below lists every documented venue-to-city pair available for this article, with the measurement type stated for each row. All figures are great-circle distances, meaning the shortest path across the surface of the earth, not a route any vehicle can drive.

These ten venues are the only documented pairs this article can measure against the Las Vegas reference point. The file this article draws from documents 481 venues in total and is not a complete list of casinos in any city, county, state or country. For a complete current list of licensed gaming locations, the Nevada Gaming Control Board is the authoritative channel.
Why Straight-Line Distance Misleads a Table-Game Search
A great-circle figure of 0.1 miles can sit on the other side of a city block, a pedestrian mall, a parking structure, or a one-way street grid that forces a much longer walk. Downtown Las Vegas is a dense, irregular street environment where two venues can be a few hundred feet apart as the crow flies and still require a detour around the Fremont Street Experience canopy or a block-long pedestrian barrier.
Straight-line distance also ignores elevation, water, rail lines, and property boundaries. None of those appear in a coordinate-to-coordinate calculation. The figure tells you proximity, not accessibility.
Road distance is always longer because a vehicle follows a network of streets, not a geodesic. The difference can be small in a grid downtown or large where a freeway interchange, a drainage channel, or a railroad cut forces a loop. This article does not estimate that difference for any pair, because no road-mileage figure is documented here.
Where the Venues Sit Relative to the Region
All ten documented venues nearest to the Las Vegas reference point are in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, not on the Las Vegas Strip corridor. The coordinates place them within roughly two straight-line miles of the city reference point, with the densest cluster inside half a mile.
Las Vegas sits in southern Nevada, and the downtown cluster documented here lies north of the Strip's main resort corridor. That relative orientation is supported by the coordinate spread: the venues documented at 0.1 to 0.4 straight-line miles form a tight downtown group, while the two at 1.7 straight-line miles — Stratosphere Tower and Jerry's Nugget — sit farther out in different directions from the reference point.
State lines matter for a blackjack switch search because Nevada's gaming regulations apply statewide, but local table-game mix is a property-level decision. A venue in downtown Las Vegas and a venue in North Las Vegas or unincorporated Clark County may operate under different municipal overlays, even though the governing state framework is the same. This article makes no claim about which specific games any venue currently spreads.
The Moving Part: Blackjack Switch Is Not on the Building
Blackjack switch is a table game variant, and table games rotate. A casino may spread it on a busy weekend and pull it on a slow Tuesday. The pit may move it from one pit to another, change its minimum bet, or replace it with a different variant entirely based on demand, staffing, and floor yield.
No documented field in this article states which table games any of these venues currently offer. The D Las Vegas is documented with 22 table games, and Four Queens is documented with 105 slot machines, but neither figure tells you whether blackjack switch is among the games on the floor today. A table-game count is a snapshot of capacity, not a menu.
The only reliable way to know whether a specific venue spreads blackjack switch on a specific night is to check the property's own current table-game information. The channel that holds that answer is the casino's pit desk or its published table games page, not a geography article.
What to Confirm Before You Go
If you are traveling to downtown Las Vegas specifically to play blackjack switch, confirm three things before you commit to a route or a hotel. First, confirm the game is currently spread at the venue you plan to visit, because table-game mix changes without notice. Second, confirm the table minimum and whether the game is open at the hour you plan to arrive, because pit hours and limits move independently of the building's operating hours. Third, confirm the venue's current entrance and pedestrian route, because downtown construction and event closures can turn a 0.1 straight-line mile walk into a much longer detour.
The authoritative channel for game availability and table limits is the casino's own pit desk or its published table games page. The authoritative channel for a complete list of licensed Nevada gaming locations is the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Neither is reproduced here.
How to Measure From Your Own Starting Point
The venue's position is fixed; your position is not. If you are searching from a specific hotel, airport, or home address, the straight-line distance from that point to any of these venues is not something this article can calculate, because your starting coordinates are not documented here.
What you can do is use the documented coordinates for the venue you care about — the D Las Vegas at 36.16972222, -115.14277778, Four Queens at 36.16972222, -115.14361111, and so on — and measure from your own known location using any standard mapping tool. That will give you a road route and a travel time, which this article deliberately does not estimate.
If the specific pair you want — your location to a particular venue — is not in the table above, this article cannot measure that segment. The table lists every documented pair available. Everything else is a measurement you must make yourself.
FAQ
Does this article tell me which casino currently spreads blackjack switch?
No. Table-game availability changes by shift, pit configuration, and management decision, and no documented field in this article states which games any venue currently offers. The D Las Vegas is documented with 22 table games, but that is a capacity figure, not a game menu. Confirm current availability through the venue's pit desk or published table games page before traveling.
How far is downtown Las Vegas from the Strip?
This article does not publish a Strip-to-downtown distance because no Strip reference point is documented in the available pairs. The documented venues nearest to the Las Vegas reference point sit in downtown Las Vegas, with the densest cluster inside 0.4 straight-line miles. Road distance to any Strip property would be longer and is not estimated here.
Why does the article give straight-line miles instead of driving distance?
Because straight-line distance is the only measurement type documented for these venue-to-city pairs. It is a great-circle figure, not a route any vehicle can drive. Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish road mileage or travel time for any pair. Use a mapping tool with your own starting point for a drivable route.
