MGM Resorts shuttles between Las Vegas and Los Angeles on a late-May evening

MGM Resorts flew from Las Vegas to Los Angeles on May 25, 2026, aboard its Embraer Legacy 500 (N783MM). The 46-minute flight, departing Harry Reid International at 20:52 and arriving at LAX at 21:39, is a routine but revealing trip for the casino operator.

MGM Resorts maintains a fleet of Embraer business jets, including six aircraft ordered in 2015 to “bring big spenders to MGM resorts,” per Corporate Jet Investor. The company’s home base is Las Vegas, but its aircraft are a near-daily presence at Los Angeles International, as the flight history on Celebplanes shows. This week’s trip likely carried VIP guests or company executives connecting to meetings or events in Southern California.

The May 25 flight follows a busy day on May 22, when N783MM completed three round trips between LAX and KLAS in under five hours — a sign of the constant movement between the Strip and the entertainment capital. For MGM Resorts, these short hops are less about geographic distance and more about delivering a comfortable experience for its most important guests, as former CEO Jim Murren said when the fleet was ordered.
