From Your Area to Each Casino
This page answers one plain question: how far is each casino from your part of Winnipeg? It measures from ten areas to three rooms: Club Regent Casino, McPhillips Station Casino and South Beach Casino & Resort.
What the Table Shows
The table pairs ten area centre points with three rooms. Each figure is a straight-line distance in kilometres, rounded to a whole number. The areas are Downtown and The Forks, St. Vital, Transcona, St. James and River Heights. Then come North End and Garden City, Fort Garry and St. Norbert, Charleswood, East Kildonan, and Selkirk to the north.
Winnipeg has no single nearest casino, because rivers cut through the city and it spreads wide. Club Regent is in Transcona, on Regent Avenue. McPhillips Station is at 484 McPhillips Street. South Beach is on Highway 59, northeast of Winnipeg, on Brokenhead Ojibway Nation land. So the closest room depends entirely on where you start.

Not road distances and no drive times. The compass on the home page draws the same numbers with true bearings.
How to Read It Honestly
A straight line is a fixed yardstick, not a route. It measures every area against every room the same way, so the numbers compare fairly.
Real trips rarely run that straight. Roads bend, bridges decide where you cross, and winter weather adds its own opinion. That is why the table gives no drive times, on purpose.
Each area point is an approximate centre, not your street. Near the edge of an area, your own distance can differ. Treat the figure as a rough guide for your corner of the city.

Questions
Why not show driving distance?
Roads, bridges and winter weather change the real trip from one night to the next. A straight line stays the same, so ten areas and three rooms can be compared fairly. For an actual route, a map on the night will serve you better.
Why are exact street addresses not listed?
The guide uses ten approximate area centres, not street addresses. Find the area closest to you and read across the row. If you live near a boundary, check the neighbouring area as well.
Does the table show opening hours?
The table does not list hours for any room. Check Club Regent, McPhillips Station or South Beach on each venue's own site before you head out.
