Caesars Entertainment repositioned its Gulfstream V (N898CE) from Van Nuys to Los Angeles on May 22, a brief 25-minute hop that typically precedes a longer journey. The aircraft, used to ferry high-rollers to Caesars properties, had just returned from an unusual trip to North Dakota on May 21, according to flight data.

Los Angeles is a recurring destination for the casino operator, whose CEO Tom Reeg often travels between Las Vegas and the West Coast's wealthy enclaves. The quick repositioning suggests the jet was being staged to pick up a VIP client for a flight to a Caesars resort, likely in Las Vegas or another major market.

Caesars' Gulfstream V, tracked by celebrityprivatejettracker.com, logged over 226,000 miles in 222 flights as of May 2026, primarily shuttling between Las Vegas and hubs like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. The North Dakota detour remains unexplained, but such out-of-pattern trips often hint at new business development or exclusive client recruitment.
