LAS VEGAS, NV—According to Jeff "The Wizard" Champagne, the Executive Vice President of proposed air carrier LVAIR, the company has filed a Letter of Intent to purchase a pair of Boeing 747-400s, at a cost of roughly $7 million each, and is also reaching out to other carriers to acquire as many as 10 to 20 additional 747-400s to be put into service in the next 12 to 24 months around the globe. The company's total capitalization is reportedly $10.3 billion—and the company will also be the subject of a new R-rated web series LVAIR Rising, whose teaser/trailer can be found here.
"Jeff's a very, very cool guy," said Prince Yahshua, who's slated to star in the web series, told AVN. "I met him two or three years ago at AVN, and a few of his business partners were there also. He was running Mandalay Bay as far as the entertainment, the night life, the pool parties, etc. He walked up to me and said he was a major fan, and that, 'I've got some things on my mind that I'd like to include you in.' I took it all with a grain of salt because I didn't really know the guy, but he showed me his world and it's all true. So I was like, 'Oh, I guess I'd like to know you as well.' A month or two later is when he let me know about he web series and said, 'I'd like you to be a part of it; you're such a big draw in the world of entertainment, and where better to do it than Sin City?' It made a lot of sense to me, and we signed contracts and everything. Because I just got back into the country, I only spoke to him last night, and I believe in the next two or three weeks, it'll all be taking off."
As AVN first reported in January, LVAIR is a proposed carrier that will provide special service for Las Vegas casinos, elite agencies, and membership organizations, and plans to charter routes worldwide as conduits that will ferry Las Vegas high rollers directly into Las Vegas.
“Initial plans are to acquire two jumbo jets and begin charter service late this year or early next… if only to understand the demand for VIPs that want to arrive to Las Vegas in complete luxury, paid for by their host casinos... which we are betting will be substantial all over the globe, so we’re also positioning for that reality and before we spend $10.3 billion, let’s get this model right,” said Champagne. "Once these two initial aircraft are in the sky, we can go from proof of concept to delivery of customizing targeted air service for our casino partners and their VIPs. Future customers worldwide will be able to see it all unfold on our web series LVAIR Rising, and as they see it unfold, we will be developing ways to reach them. The 1% around the planet will be able to reach levels of luxury, entertainment access and gaming that the other 99% can only dream of... in their wildest dreams.”
According to the company, thousands of extras are expected to be auditioned for the series this summer. The show plans to film every one of its scenes in the casinos (generally considered a no-no locale for filming), nightclubs, event centers, bars and coffee shops, featuring some of Las Vegas’ "most beautiful residents," as the company continues to develop the most expensive charter airline in aviation history.
“Much like what Miami Vice did for Miami in the 1980s, we are doing for Las Vegas from 2018 to 2020—the difference being rather enormous: that with LVAIR, it’s 100% real and it is happening now," said Champagne. "Though the extras may be more flowers in the garden, the scenes and setups are not acting, they’re reality; the development of LVAIR is real."
Individuals who want to audition as extras can apply online at LasVegasInTheSky.com. According to the company, over 2,000 extras are expected to be retained for the series.
LVAIR Rising says it plans to showcase how a group of investors, entrepreneurs, celebrities, and executives in Sin City are giving the city its first global airline charter for VIPs.
