MGM Resorts flew from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas to Narita International Airport in Tokyo on May 12, 2026, aboard its Embraer Legacy 500 with tail number N783MM. The departure came early that morning local time, marking a direct transpacific hop for the casino operator's executive fleet.

The arrival lands the same week MGM Resorts outlined $200 million to $225 million in funding for its Japan operations in 2026, per an MSN report from earlier this month. This capital is earmarked for the Osaka integrated resort, Japan's first legal casino complex, where construction milestones continue toward a 2030 opening and promise a monopoly on gaming until at least 2035.

Such journeys reflect MGM Resorts' pattern of deploying its four Legacy 500s for high-stakes business abroad, shuttling CEO Bill Hornbuckle and team to key markets beyond recurring U.S. hubs like New York and Los Angeles. Just a day before, another company jet routed through Anchorage toward Japan, hinting at coordinated efforts to cement the Asian foothold.
