Empty Leg Flights from Los Angeles to Las Vegas

This corridor sees some of the highest private jet traffic in the United States, with celebrities, high rollers, and weekend warriors escaping to Sin City every Friday afternoon. Depart from Van Nuys (VNY), Burbank (BUR), or Santa Monica (SMO) and land at Henderson Executive (HND) or Las Vegas North Las Vegas (VGT): both closer to the Strip than commercial Las Vegas McCarran. The massive volume of weekend traffic creates exceptional empty leg availability, especially for Sunday return flights when jets reposition back to LA.
