LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The parent company of the Las Vegas Aviators has laid off six employees at the Summerlin-based minor league baseball team.

The Aviators are owned by Seaport Entertainment Group, which separated from Summerlin master developer and former team owner Howard Hughes Corporation in August 2024. Seaport Entertainment Group, which is its own standalone, publicly-traded company, also owns Las Vegas Ballpark in Downtown Summerlin.

A creative director, digital marketer and a retail operations manager were among the six laid-off Aviators workers. One former worker explained his situation on LinkedIn:

The Aviators are the Triple-A affiliate of the MLB Athletics, which are building a $2 billion domed stadium on the site of the former Tropicana hotel-casino on the Strip.

The Aviators have also rolled out two new alternative baseball caps and a batting practice cap:

Home Cap: LV Monogram; navy crown/navy visor

Alternate 1 Cap: Fighter Pilot; orange crown/navy visor

Alternate 2 Cap: A-Racer; white & navy crown/orange visor

BP Cap: Hitting Spruce; orange & navy crown/navy visor

Aviators players will wear the “LV” ballcap as the primary cap.
