MGM Resorts lands in Macau as MGM China posts record quarter and opens new suites

MGM Resorts flew from Las Vegas to Macau on May 12, arriving via a multi-leg journey that touched down in Anchorage and Tokyo before reaching Macau International Airport. The company’s Embraer Legacy 500, tail N783MM, made the final hop from Tokyo’s Narita Airport to Macau that afternoon, according to flight data.

The trip coincides with a busy period for MGM Resorts’ Macau subsidiary. MGM China reported first-quarter net revenue up 10% year-on-year to HK$8.8 billion, per its April 29 earnings release [en.mgmchinaholdings.com](https://en.mgmchinaholdings.com/2026-04-29-MGM-China-Reports-2026-First-Quarter-Results). The same week, the company began opening 124 new accommodation suites at MGM Cotai, converted from three floors to target premium-mass customers, as CEO Bill Hornbuckle disclosed at a JP Morgan conference [ggrasia.com](https://www.ggrasia.com/mgm-to-launch-124-new-guest-suites-in-cotai-property-starting-in-april-ceo).

The visit follows a broader corporate push: Hornbuckle signed a contract extension through 2028 in April, with an eye on further Asian expansion including the MGM Osaka project [gamblingindustrynews.com](https://gamblingindustrynews.com/news/las-vegas/mgm-resorts-agree-extension-for-ceo-bill-hornbuckle/). For MGM Resorts, shuttling executives and high-rollers between Las Vegas and Macau remains a routine part of managing a global gaming empire.
