Caesars arrived at Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) on the evening of May 22, 2026, after a short hop from Sundance Meadows Airport (OG05) in the California high desert. The Gulfstream V (N898CE) made the 1-hour-40-minute flight at an altitude approaching 49,000 feet.

The timing of the trip aligns with a cluster of events that draw Caesars’ VIP clientele to the Los Angeles area this week. The Pac-12 baseball tournament is underway in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Los Angeles is hosting a slate of high-stakes poker tournaments and celebrity charity events that typically attract the casino operator’s high-roller guests, per local event listings and industry calendars tracked by the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Caesars has long used its corporate aircraft to ferry big players to its properties, as [celebrityprivatejettracker.com](https://celebrityprivatejettracker.com/) notes.

The flight follows a pattern of multi-city loops. The same aircraft flew from the East Coast to California in the preceding days, touching down at Van Nuys on May 21 after a trip from Bismarck, North Dakota, and again from the New York area on May 15. The stop at Sundance Meadows — a remote airstrip near the Oregon border — suggests a detour for a private function before returning to the Los Angeles basin, where Caesars maintains a regular presence for entertainment-industry networking and high-roller outreach.
