MGM Resorts returns to Las Vegas from Los Angeles after a busy VIP weekend

MGM Resorts flew from Los Angeles International Airport to Harry Reid International Airport on May 25, 2026, a 54-minute hop aboard its Embraer Legacy 500 (N783MM). The flight arrived just before midnight, capping a day that began with an earlier leg from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.

The trip lands the same week MGM Resorts International is riding momentum from a strong first quarter, per its April 29 earnings call. CEO Bill Hornbuckle noted that May was shaping up well, citing a “very successful baccarat tournament” the prior weekend [fool.com](https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2026/04/29/mgm-mgm-q1-2026-earnings-call-transcript/). The company’s fleet of Embraer Legacy 500s is used primarily to shuttle high-stakes guests between the Strip and major metros like Los Angeles, a pattern visible in the flight history: N783MM made three round trips between LAX and LAS on May 22 alone [celebplanes.com](https://www.celebplanes.com/celebrity/mgm-resorts).

This particular return to Las Vegas likely marks the end of a weekend of VIP hospitality or the beginning of another. With group and convention business expected to carry into the second quarter, MGM Resorts’ private jets remain a quiet but telling indicator of where the company’s highest-value customers are moving.
