Caesars flies to Redmond, Oregon, as high-roller season shifts north

Caesars flew from Los Angeles International Airport to Roberts Field in Redmond, Oregon, on May 22, 2026, a two-hour-and-one-minute hop in its Gulfstream V (tail N898CE). The aircraft climbed to 47,025 feet and hit a top ground speed of 458 knots before touching down in the high desert at 2:14 p.m. Pacific time.

The same week, central Oregon is drawing a wave of high-net-worth visitors for a series of invitation-only golf and poker events at Sunriver Resort and the nearby Brasada Ranch, per local tourism boards and event calendars. Caesars Entertainment, which operates Caesars Palace and other luxury casino-resorts, often uses its corporate jet to ferry VIP players to destinations where private gaming and hospitality are being marketed away from the Las Vegas Strip. Redmond, the gateway to Bend and Sunriver, has become a recurring stop for the company's Gulfstream V in recent months.

This flight follows a pattern of short-haul repositioning: earlier on May 22, N898CE made a brief hop from an undisclosed location to Los Angeles, and on May 21 it shuttled between Los Angeles and Bismarck, North Dakota. The aircraft has logged 222 flights since December 2023, per CelebrityPrivateJetTracker.com, and is registered to Caesars Entertainment Operating Co Inc, based in Clark, Nevada.
