James Dolan's Gulfstream G650ER (N176KH) was tracked flying from Greenwood Lake Seaplane Base in New Jersey to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on June 25, touching down after a four-hour, 25-minute flight.

If aboard, James Dolan would arrive the same week that Vegas Golden Knights owner Bill Foley hired Morgan Stanley to advise his bid to bring an NBA expansion team to Las Vegas, per a Bloomberg report [bloomberg.com](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-06-23/bill-foley-hires-morgan-stanley-to-bring-nba-franchise-to-vegas). Foley's proposed platform includes a dedicated practice and player-health campus, signaling the scale of investment. Dolan, as Madison Square Garden executive chairman and New York Knicks owner, may have a stake in expansion discussions — or be in town for the Sphere, the Las Vegas venue that has reportedly consumed his attention.

The flight follows a pattern of cross-country movements: Dolan's aircraft was near San Francisco and Chicago earlier in the week, with prior legs to New York and Las Vegas. Whether for NBA talks or Sphere oversight, the destination suggests a busy desert agenda.
