16.0 miles straight-line is the nearest documented casino distance from New York City in the published reference set used for this article, and that pair is New York City to Yonkers. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
The query names a place in Queens, but no venue row matching that exact venue name is identified in the documented venue list available here. So the fixed point this article can anchor is New York City itself, with its published coordinates and its documented straight-line distances to named casino venues that are measured to this city.
The fixed point this article can document
For this query, the reliable location anchor is New York City, at latitude 40.7128 and longitude -74.0061. The documented file measures casino distances to that city and records 318 venues measured to this city within the wider reference set, while also stating that the set is not a complete census of casinos in any place.
That matters because a reader may be looking for one specific Queens property, but this article cannot safely rename or describe a venue that is not explicitly matched in the published references. What it can do is show the fixed city point, the documented nearby venue pairs, and the limits of what those straight-line figures mean in real travel planning.
Documented straight-line distances from New York City
| 参照点 | 直线英里 | 测量类型 |
|---|---|---|
| Yonkers Raceway & Empire City Casino | 16.0 | great-circle |
| Parx Casino and Racing | 64.6 | great-circle |
| Wind Creek Bethlehem | 71.2 | great-circle |
| Wind Creek Bethlehem | 71.2 | great-circle |
| Mount Airy Casino Resort | 74.1 | great-circle |
Every figure in the table is a great-circle measurement from New York City, not a road route. Driving mileage is longer than straight-line mileage because roads follow the available network rather than the shortest possible line across the map.
The table includes all venue pairs that can be tied both to New York City's documented distance list and to venue rows with published location details in the same reference set. Two entries point to the same Bethlehem property because the source list includes both “wind creek” and “bethlehem” as aliases for Wind Creek Bethlehem, each with the same 71.2-mile straight-line figure.
Why straight-line distance and real travel differ
Straight-line distance is useful for orientation because it tells you which documented venues are geographically nearer or farther from the fixed city point. It is not a route plan. Once a real trip starts, the path has to follow available roads, crossings, and local street layouts.
Several things make road distance longer than a great-circle line. Water bodies can block a direct path, road grids rarely point exactly toward the destination, and regional travel often requires detours to reach bridges or other crossings. Crossing from one state into another can also force routing onto a limited set of connections rather than the shortest geometric line.
That is why this article labels every mileage figure as straight-line or great-circle in the same sentence or table row. If you need the road figure for a specific trip, the right place to confirm it is a current mapping service using your exact starting point and the venue's current listed address on its own contact page.
Where the documented venues sit relative to New York City
New York City is the fixed reference point. Among the documented nearby venues with location rows available here, Yonkers Raceway & Empire City Casino is in Yonkers, New York; Parx Casino and Racing is in Bensalem, Pennsylvania; Wind Creek Bethlehem is in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; and Mount Airy Casino Resort is in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania.
The coordinates support only broad directional reading. Yonkers lies north of New York City because its documented latitude, 40.918021, is higher than New York City's 40.7128, and it lies slightly east because its longitude, -73.86529, is less negative than -74.0061. Parx in Bensalem lies south and west of New York City, because 40.1186 is lower in latitude and -74.953 is farther west in longitude.
Wind Creek Bethlehem lies north and west of New York City, with latitude 40.6148 lower than Yonkers but still paired with a longitude of -75.3591 that places it west of the city reference point. Mount Airy in Mount Pocono also lies north and west of New York City, with latitude 41.1133 and longitude -75.3217.
Those directional statements are intentionally simple. They help a reader understand regional position without pretending to give route guidance, which would require current road data not included here.
What this article can and cannot identify about the Queens query
The phrase “world resort casino queens ny” appears to be aiming at a specific venue in Queens, but this article cannot confirm that venue name, its coordinates, or its property details because no exact matching venue row is present in the documented list supplied for this page. That means the article cannot safely state that venue's straight-line distance from any reference point, nor can it describe its size, owner, opening date, or facilities.
What it can say is that the search is centered on New York City, and the nearest documented casino venue to that city in the available matrix is Yonkers at 16.0 miles straight-line. If the reader needs the exact Queens property, the next step is to compare the venue name shown on the property's own official contact page with the name used in a current mapping service, then measure from that confirmed address.
How to measure from your own starting point
A venue's position is fixed, but your position is not. If you are searching from home, from a hotel, or from somewhere else in the city, this article cannot guess that origin point and should not pretend to.
The practical method is simple: first confirm the exact venue name on its own official page, then copy its current listed address into a mapping service together with your own starting point. That will give you road mileage, route options, and any real-world detours that a straight-line article like this one does not publish.
If you only need regional orientation, use the documented city anchor here instead. New York City sits at 40.7128, -74.0061, and the published nearby straight-line pairs show Yonkers at 16.0 miles, Parx at 64.6 miles, Wind Creek Bethlehem at 71.2 miles, and Mount Airy at 74.1 miles.
What to confirm before you go
Before leaving, confirm the exact property name, the current street address, parking arrangements, and the venue's present opening information on the property's own official pages. Those are live operational details and can change independently of a static geography article.
If you are comparing options, also confirm whether the place you found is the same brand name you searched for or a similarly named property elsewhere in the region. Rebrands, aliases, and local shorthand can make one venue appear under more than one name, as the Bethlehem example in this article shows.
For a complete and current list of casinos in a state, province, or on tribal land, check the relevant gaming regulator or tribal authority rather than relying on any single venue list. The published reference set behind this article documents 481 venues in total and explicitly says it is not a complete census for any place.
FAQ
Is the Queens venue in this query the same as a documented venue in this article?
No exact venue row matching the query text is identified here, so this article does not claim a match. It anchors the discussion to New York City and lists only the nearby casino venues whose names, coordinates, and straight-line distances are explicitly documented in publicly published reference sources.
What is the closest documented casino to New York City in this article?
The nearest documented pair available here is Yonkers Raceway & Empire City Casino at 16.0 miles straight-line from New York City. That figure is a great-circle measurement only. It is not road mileage, and this article does not estimate driving distance or travel time.
Why does the table show Bethlehem twice?
The reference list includes both “wind creek” and “bethlehem” as documented aliases tied to Wind Creek Bethlehem, and both carry the same 71.2-mile straight-line figure from New York City. The duplicate appearance reflects the published naming in the source set rather than two different properties.
