MGM Resorts lands in Seattle as Bill Hornbuckle visits Boeing Field

MGM Resorts flew from Las Vegas to Seattle on Sunday evening, landing an Embraer Legacy 500 at Boeing Field at 3:10 p.m. local time after a two-hour, 39-minute trip. The flight, operated under the tail number N783MM, is one of four Legacy 500s the company uses to shuttle executives and high-rollers between the Strip and major U.S. major US metros.

The trip arrives the same week that Mandalay Bay, one of MGM Resorts’ Las Vegas properties, opens its new Tailgate Beach Club — a sports-focused dayclub with three heated pools, 360-degree LED screens, and a performance by Snoop Dogg at the grand opening, per an MGM Resorts newsroom release. The venue, located steps from Allegiant Stadium, is designed to capture foot traffic from NBA and NHL playoff crowds and is the latest collaboration between Clique Hospitality and the resort operator.

MGM Resorts has kept one of its Legacy 500s busy this month with a string of international legs: Macau to Tokyo, Tokyo to Osaka, then Alaska before returning to Las Vegas on May 16. The Seattle stop adds a domestic counterpoint to that pattern, suggesting the company continues to deploy its smaller jets for both operational oversight and high-touch hospitality launches.
