Private Jets Shut Down Las Vegas Airport Before Saturday’s Big Fight
Numerous celebrities were on hand to watch Floyd Mayweather Jr. beat Manny Pacquiao in Saturday night’s “Fight of the Century” in Las Vegas, and they apparently didn’t fly coach to get there.
Las Vegas’s main commercial airport, McCarran International, was reportedly closed to private planes on Saturday after celebrities packed the airport with their parked jets, according to Sports Illustrated.
In several images posted to Twitter, the airport lot is filled with private planes and jets, parked wing-to-wing.
Fox 11 Los Angeles sports reporter Liz Habib tweeted a shot of the humorous scene, writing “Private Jets at Las Vegas airport!!! Wing to wing – airport closed now to private planes #MayPac.”
