MGM Resorts's aircraft flies to Los Angeles amid $18B takeover talks

MGM Resorts's Embraer Legacy 500, tail N783MM, was tracked departing Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on June 27 at 15:22 UTC, touching down at Los Angeles International 44 minutes later. The 24025-foot cruise and 411-knot ground speed suggest a routine hop between the Strip and the West Coast.

If MGM Resorts's decision-makers were on the flight, they would land the same week the company's board continues to review the $48.30-per-share acquisition proposal from People Incorporated (formerly IAC) — a deal that would value the casino giant at roughly $18 billion, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The proposal was confirmed by MGM Resorts in a June 1 press release [investors.mgmresorts.com](https://investors.mgmresorts.com/2026-06-01-MGM-Resorts-International-Confirms-Receipt-of-Acquisition-Proposal-from-People-Incorporated), and the board has said it will "carefully review and consider" the offer.

The flight to Los Angeles — a major financial and entertainment hub — fits a pattern. MGM Resorts's fleet of six business jets regularly shuttles between its Las Vegas base and cities like New York, Miami, and Chicago. This week's LA arrival, if carrying company brass, would put them in a city where Barry Diller, the media mogul behind the bid, maintains deep ties — though no direct meeting has been confirmed.
