High rollers visiting the neon jungle of Las Vegas have long taken to flying in private jets as a quirk of the casinos penchant for rolling out the red carpet for those willing to spread the net wide with their bets. Wynn Las Vegas has significantly upped the ante. Wynn Aviation, the resort’s in-house aviation business, has two top-of-the-line Gulfstream planes ready to transport guests from one continent to the other in one smooth swoop, with no layovers required. And, just like the service in the high-stakes rooms on the casino floor, Wynn Aviation provides the same level of excellence at 40,000 feet.

The last thing you’d expect to see on the Las Vegas Strip is RYSE RECON, a single-person eVTOL powered by six motors and batteries. This 286-pound flying machine can reach a maximum altitude of 10,000-feet and hit a top speed of 63 mph. Under normal conditions, it would cruise between 100 ft – 125 ft at around 40 mph.
