I am a retired private pilot and have owned and flown many planes since 1986. Unless your business makes substantial amount of money and profit, private aircraft ownership is really expensive. The best way to accomplish what you are trying to achieve would be to acquire an aircraft in a LLC with 3 to 5 owners. Have the plane managed and maintained at an executive charter operation at North Las Vegas or the Henderson airports which have much less traffic and are less expensive to operate out of. If the partnership has the plane chartered out to third parties under Part 135 there might be a way to offset some fixed costs like insurance, taxes and maintenance but don't expect to get rich from that. For regional flights from Las Vegas within a 1000 mile distance, the aircraft to consider would be a Pilatus PC12 or a King Air 350 or 200. Mission profiles that exceed that distance it's best to fly commercial.
This is your captain speaking,I have made and own a paper plane. It has perfectly folded edges and carries whole families of dust mites across perfectly presented rooms and can fly a good 10m in outside spaces , it doesn’t emit carbon it’s just made from carbon but it is powered my body Oder infested arm throws and the best part is flights are cheap, they are as cheap as this post
As long as it’s 6k pounds for “primarily” for business it’s a a tax deductible and depreciation No offense but your story has nothing to do with finances
@@meldeeds9658 just had reverse replacement of the shoulder, lol, we are the bionic vegas matt robots :) and wow to actually have them write back a word of encouragement is beyond expectation, now they need a pilot !
I had the pleasure of Meeting the Legendary Vegas Matt!! And WBG !! On Saturday night What a great guy!! Thanks for sharing your Chocolates and taking the time for a photo!!
“I’m a pilot… I can fly” Seriously, I’m an airline pilot and I feel your pain. I never fly when I’m not working, but thank you to people who do, so I can get a paycheck from doing what I love.
If you’re a pilot you must know the expenses of flying a private plane around, not even counting the upkeep and annual engine maintenance checks and cost. How about the cost of landing and storing the plane?
@@Bradydog-in7ut upkeep and maintenance depend on the specific aircraft. There are many fixed costs along with hourly operating costs. None of it is cheap. Landing costs are minimal for private aircraft, and short term parking isn't bad either in most places(recently discovered its cheaper to park a small plane at SeaTac then it is to park your car there). Flying private you usually avoid the massive international airports whenever possible. Long term storage and hanger rates are going to vary greatly across the country. I'm not sure what hanger space is worth in Las Vegas.
@@Bradydog-in7ut The cost is going the very greatly, however the type of aircraft that Matt is talking about is usually managed by a Part 135 charter company. I used to work for a company that, at the time, managed 5 Cirrus SR 22’s and a Cirrus jet. Another company, we managed a few King air 100’s. This can be a good way to offset the cost and get great tax right offs. If Matt really wants to buy one I would suggest a King Air 100. He could charter it and also when he wants it for personal use It doesn’t take a type rating to fly , so a retired pilot with at least a 3rd class medical could fly around with him.
I wish I could tell you but I was still active in the military and it was only a part time job. I was just a pilot, I didn’t work in the contracting or finance. What I can say is that if the planes are being used, a large percentage will pay for itself. You would want to find a dealer who also contracts the services or find a small Part 135 operator (flight school, charter company or combination of both…) that can help find and negotiate a purchase from a seller. I wish I could be more help on that front, but I’ll say everyone I worked for both in NOLA and Jax, owners, operators and pilots were happy. Some other routes to consider is Net Jets and companies that either sell private time or purchasing a share in an airplane ( I would not recommend the last for Vegas Matt).
High time PC-12 pilot here. I’ve managed them and currently flying air ambulance. Think your valuation of them is slightly off. I just saw a PC-12NG mid time at 4 million. Operating costs average $900-$1200/hr. That’s fuel and maintenance. A pilot will run you another $75k-120k/yr. Best to have one to two pilots that you trust and meet insurance requirements instead of rando contract pilots with widely varying quality.
Considering the size of your audience, that reaching out regarding a private plane idea is a pretty good idea! All I pilot is a good old used 2005 Jaguar S-type with over 200,000 miles on it. Although it can (conceivably) fly, I'm not planning on going over any cliffs or bridges, anytime soon :-) THAT said, seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if there were a Learjet or Gulfstream pilot out there that might take you up on something like that!
I admire your tenacity and optimism. Some of those slot machines are just brutal! I always find myself rooting for them to turn around and give you guys a huge bonus.
I was a flight attendant for a casino in Atlantic City years ago. I flew the junkets to and from New York twice a day. The only passengers had high credit limits so we picked them up in the morning and took them back in time for dinner. I suggest you contact casinos to provide you with transportation. 💖🌝
My dude trying to organize his own private jet via RU-vid subscribers. That is a unique flex. A weird flex but an epic flex. I respect that just careful who you trust to fly you around the planet
Knew the “except for smoking” was coming!! 🤣🤣 I feel like I should hide in shame for being a smoker. You really lay it on thick with us smokers. Still love ya and gonna watch. Lol
Dude! We went from Atlanta to Vegas and I said the same thing. It's absolutely horrifying dealing with those TSA employees. I'd rather drive any day. I feel your pain Vegas Matt.
@@webguy943 The TSA is a joke. Look across the airport next time at the gate. The other side is executive side. NO. TSA there. Big jets there too. Fucking bad joke on on us. They are there to take your stuff and slowly radiate you. Driving the nation into bankruptcy. Leaches. Of course for a price $$ you can get exempt. Just pay the pre check fees. Couple hundred a year and you're no longer a terrorist. Bullshit
I would seriously consider talking with the guy who runs "The jet business" channel on youtube. Great guy. And hes about the content so it can be beneficial for both. His videos/shorts are great.
I bet you were there at Borgata opening in 2003! And then I actually watched the video and the first thing you said were about Borgata 😄 My favorite place in AC since it opened.🤙🏼
I love this idea, however there is much more to think about when it comes to flying everywhere privately, even in a twin turbo prop. Mostly the costs are more about maintaining the aircraft vs the cost of fuel. Fuel of course is a consideration also. However this is an interesting idea for sure.
I love that you can care less what people say and keep being you. I hope you never change and keep being just who we all freakin enjoy watching. Hope you get that Pilot to come in and help. What would be even more super cool is you pick up a Fan like me once in a while and let us tag along now and then. NOW THAT would be EPIC... Dig watching you guys. Keep keeping it real...
Did you notice the perceived progression on the pots were all at the lowest on your machine but machines to your side had medium level, the little black knob moves from left to right when getting ready to pop.
Vegas Matt you are so damn funny. A pilot who loves to gamble…not with our life. You guys are the best and totally make my day to watch after a long day at work.
Great event at Hard Rock AC yesterday! Happy Anniversary, Vegas Matt and Vegas Mom! And please don’t stop with the “that’s what she said” jokes. They’re my fave and I’m kinda known for them myself. 😂❤
I would LOVE to join your entourage as your pilot but there are a couple of obstacles as I have a family… and I’m in Scotland… I also don’t have a plane… or a pilots license… or even a driving license…. I’ve been registered blind since birth. BUT, if we can work out those kinks… then let the good times roll!!! WBG’s clever jokes are my favourite - I swear I recognise his voice… but I also love Matt’s humour. I enjoy the repetition and am always waiting for the catchphrases, he’s a master of NLP - and EJ is the workhorse of the operation and it just wouldn’t work without him, so you guys all bring something great. Before I found your channel I thought I was the only person who said ‘idiot’ for various random situations where it’s not quite the right word.
I have a special place in my heart for the PC12. Started my career as a flight nurse in one. they are very reliable and land just about anywhere. Turbo prop. Burns Jet A BTW.
I like it when you have a floor amount I watch you everyday after work Thank you again for the encouragement regarding gambling "We do it, so you don't have to"
See now I wish my husband had his flight license for planes! We watch y’all EVERY day! He’s got his flight license for drones/videography. That’d be THE COOLEST THING! I know he’d be the type of man to invest in a plane/gambling with y’all! 🤦🏼♀️🤣 but that’d be a badass idea! We’d make it a point to stop on y’all’s tour multiple times
Travolta has his plane parked in Clearwater airport for Scientology. He doesn't fly non scientology people around. They use it for the church events only. Back and forth from LA to Clearwater
@@robertjefferson8275absolutely, played 40 cent spins on reel slots with free games (normally have some luck and alittle fun) went straight down (that's over 120 spins) no multipliers or bonuses and have a good day. Last time I went with $40 and played 3 hours on same machines and won. Just depends on how you look at it and how much you bring.
@@robertjefferson8275took $50.00 and went straight down and left in 25 mins. In my opinion that's not fun, got 0 footage and 0 bonuses. Last time out was opposite so you never know.
QUESTION of the Day: You get 500,000 dollars, but the universe can send a prime Mike Tyson to appear and sucker punch you 3 times in the chin over the course of the rest of your life. You do not know when he appears, you cannot avoid it. Do you take the money?
Hey guys. Great vid. I love that you're trying my favorite countdown method of X number of spins at X level. I usually choose a number that I feel lucky about, like 7 or 11. But a lot of people like 8 too. It works for the videos, because if you just jump around randomly we are not quite catching all the changes. This way, the viewer knows exactly what they are going to see in advance.
WBG Question Of The Day. Open Floor Question: What percentage of the time do you win the Raffle/Ticket, Bonus ball at the casino? The one that you earn with VALUABLE!, Player Points. (Some casinos may not participate, I know, but have how frequent is it?) Love the Vegas Matt team and a BIG WBG fan👌 hope he reads out my QOTD 1 day. I'll keep watching/posting 😁
Matt, have you ever heard of JSX? It’s semi private flights so you get the luxury of no TSA, way less people, and the price is barely more expensive than a normal flight. The bad side is they don’t have terminals everywhere yet. Flew from Dallas to Vegas and it was a great experience
