Narrative:
We were told by las ramp controller to taxi to spot 7. When I looked at the commercial chart for concourse D; I located spot seven and began a taxi to what I thought was that spot. As I arrived at the spot it was in fact spot 8. If you look at the chart you will see spot 8; not next to spot seven (where in fact it is) but half way down the chart. When I tried to call ramp to inform them of my mistake I noticed the first officer had already switched to ground and we then received a runway change and amendment to our clearance. I continued the taxi as I felt this was the safest course of action.
