Larry Ellison's Citation CJ4 lands in Las Vegas after late-night hop from Santa Monica

The same week, researchers at the National University of Singapore published a paper in Nature Communications describing a diamagnetically levitated rotor that can spin for over ten hours at room temperature [nature.com](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-75188-1). While not directly linked to Larry Ellison's travel, the advance in quantum metrology and precision sensing could be of interest to a tech executive whose company invests heavily in cloud computing and data infrastructure. It is the kind of scientific development that occasionally draws the attention of deep-pocketed technology figures exploring emerging fields.

Larry Ellison's recent tracked flights show a busy stretch: a return to Palm Beach from Hawaii on June 29, then a hop to Phoenix on July 1, followed by a shift to the Los Angeles area on July 9. The July 11 departure from Santa Monica to Las Vegas extends that west-of-the-Mississippi loop. With his primary residence now in Manalapan, Florida — a move that saved him approximately $1 billion in state taxes — these shorter flights often trace a network of homes, resorts, and business outposts. Las Vegas, lacking a known personal residence for Larry Ellison, is more likely a stop for one of the many corporate or investment interests that orbit his net worth.

No specific event in Las Vegas this week — no major conference, court hearing, or sports final — aligns neatly with the landing. But that is the nature of private aviation: not every flight needs a headline. Sometimes a billionaire simply needs to be in a city for a few hours, and a Citation CJ4 is how the miles get erased. If Larry Ellison was on board, the flight remains a quiet logistical beat in a life lived at jet speed.
