MGM Resorts flies to Macau the week of record Q1 results and a new suite opening

MGM Resorts flew an Embraer Legacy 500 (tail N783MM) from Tokyo to Macau on May 12, 2026, a short hop that followed a longer flight from Anchorage the day before. The aircraft, part of a fleet used to move executives and high-rollers between the Strip and major metros, touched down at VMMC just after local noon.

The trip arrives the same week MGM China reported first-quarter net revenue up 10% year-over-year to HK$8.8 billion, with daily mass GGR hitting a new high, per the company's April 29 earnings release [prnewswire.com]. CEO Kenneth Feng noted the recent completion of the Prime Wellness Suites at MGM COTAI, a suite conversion and refurbishment of the premium gaming area that opened just before the May Golden Week. The property also debuted Chatterbox Café, its first Macau outpost of the Singapore dining brand, in February.

The flight pattern suggests a familiar rhythm: MGM Resorts' aircraft frequently shuttle between Las Vegas, Anchorage, and Asian destinations. The May 11 leg from Las Vegas to Anchorage, followed by the jump to Tokyo and then Macau, mirrors the travel patterns of senior executives reviewing operations across the company's 30 global properties. The Las Vegas Strip Resorts segment posted its first year-over-year quarterly revenue increase since 2024 in Q1, though adjusted EBITDAR fell 8%.
