The venue set sits within two straight-line miles of the Las Vegas city point
The documented downtown Las Vegas venues all sit within a 1.7 straight-line mile radius of the city's fixed reference point, with the closest documented property at 0.1 straight-line miles and the farthest at 1.7 straight-line miles. Those figures are great-circle measurements, not road distances.
Road travel is always longer than a straight-line figure. This article does not publish driving mileage, travel time, highway numbers, or turn-by-turn directions, because those values depend on your starting point, traffic, and route choices, none of which are fixed.
What the straight-line distances measure
A straight-line, or great-circle, distance is the shortest arc between two coordinate points on the Earth's surface. It ignores every physical obstacle between them: buildings, blocks, freeways, rail lines, pedestrian malls, and the Fremont Street Experience canopy itself. In a dense downtown grid, even a 0.2 straight-line mile gap can involve several minutes of walking and crossing intersections.
The distances below are documented pairs between the Las Vegas city reference point and each venue. Every figure is labelled as straight-line in the table and in the text. No pair that is not in this table is measured in this article.
| 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 |
These ten documented venues are the only pairs supplied for this article. The file documents 318 venues measured to the Las Vegas city point in total, but that is not a complete list of casinos in the city, county, or state. The Nevada gaming regulator maintains the authoritative current list.
Why road distance diverges from the straight-line figure
Downtown Las Vegas is a dense street grid with one-way roads, pedestrian zones, and a raised canopy over Fremont Street. A straight-line measurement cuts through buildings and blocks; a walking or driving route must follow the grid, cross at controlled intersections, and detour around closures or construction. The result is always longer than the great-circle number.
Water and terrain play almost no role in this particular downtown cluster, but the principle holds anywhere: a straight-line distance ignores the physical path a person must travel. The same pair of coordinates can produce very different travel distances depending on which side of a block the entrance sits, whether a pedestrian bridge exists, and whether the route crosses a state or county boundary.
The venues sit in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada
All ten documented venues are in Las Vegas, Nevada, at coordinates between roughly 36.1697 and 36.1714 north latitude and 115.1428 and 115.1447 west longitude. That places them in the downtown core, east of the Las Vegas Strip corridor and near the Fremont Street Experience. The city reference point itself sits at 36.16916667 north, 115.14055556 west.
Relative to the broader region, these coordinates place the venues in the southern part of Nevada, within Clark County. The city of Las Vegas lies in the Mojave Desert, but this article does not publish road routes to or from it. A reader approaching from any direction should use the venue's own address page or a mapping tool to build a route from their own starting point.
Your starting point is the missing variable
The query "where to play video blackjack in Las Vegas" does not contain a fixed starting point. The venue locations are fixed; your position is not. No article can state a distance "from you" without knowing where you are, and this article will not guess a departure city or assume you are already on the Strip.
To measure from your own position, take the venue's documented coordinates, take your own coordinates or street address, and let a mapping application compute the road route. The straight-line figures above give you a sense of how tightly clustered the downtown venues are relative to the city center, but they are not your travel distance.
Documented facility figures for the downtown venues
Publicly published reference sources document the following facility figures for the venues named in the distance table. These figures describe a documented point in time, not today, and are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded.
| Venue | Slot machines | Table games | Hotel rooms | Opened | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| D Las Vegas | 1,000 | 22 | not documented here | July 2, 1980 | Derek and Greg Stevens |
| Four Queens | 105 | not documented here | 115 | June 2, 1966 | Elsinore Corporation |
| Horseshoe | not documented here | not documented here | 366 | 1932 | TLC Casino Enterprises |
| Golden Nugget Las Vegas | not documented here | not documented here | 2,419 | 1984 | Landry's |
| Binion's | not documented here | not documented here | 366 | 1932 | TLC Casino Enterprises |
This article does not state whether any of these venues offers video blackjack today. Game availability changes and is not part of the documented facility fields supplied. A reader should confirm current game offerings directly with the property before travelling.
What to confirm before you go
Several facts in this article are fixed, and several are changeable. The fixed facts are the venue coordinates, the documented straight-line distances to the city reference point, and the documented historical opening dates and ownership records. The changeable facts are everything that affects a visit.
- Whether a specific venue currently offers video blackjack, and on which floor or machine bank.
- Current operating hours, which are not published in this article.
- Any entry, parking, or resort fee that applies on the day of your visit.
- Road closures, construction, or pedestrian detours in the downtown grid.
- Whether the venue's ownership or branding has changed since the documented record.
The authoritative channel for each of these is the property's own published page, its guest services desk, or the Nevada gaming regulator's current venue list. Confirm all changeable items before you commit travel money.
FAQ
Does this article tell me which Las Vegas casino has video blackjack?
No. This article documents the fixed geographic positions of ten downtown Las Vegas venues and their straight-line distances from the city reference point. It does not state which of them currently offers video blackjack, because game availability is changeable and is not part of the documented facility fields supplied. Confirm current game offerings directly with the property before travelling.
How far is the closest documented venue from the Las Vegas city point?
The closest documented venue is D Las Vegas at 0.1 straight-line miles from the city reference point. That is a great-circle measurement, not a road distance. Actual walking or driving distance is longer and depends on your starting point and route. This article does not publish road mileage or travel time.
Why can't you tell me the driving distance from my location?
Because your location is not fixed. The venue coordinates are fixed, but a driving distance requires a specific starting address, a route, and current traffic conditions. This article does not guess your departure point and does not publish road mileage or highway numbers. Use a mapping tool with your own address and the venue's documented coordinates.
