American Airlines and MGM Resorts International flew a group of veterans to Las Vegas for an all-expenses-paid weekend in the destination. The flight received a traditional water cannon salute, and as the special guests deplaned, they were greeted with a warm welcome from airline staff, USO volunteers, and fellow passengers.

On the tarmac, airport first responders saluted the veterans, and they posed for a group photo in front of American's special Medal of Honor livery before boarding buses to their hotel.
