Wynn Weighs Delayed Opening of Its UAE Resort Due to Iran War

Wynn Resorts Ltd. is considering postponing the expected opening date of its casino resort in the United Arab Emirates due to construction delays brought on by the US war with Iran, according to a person familiar with the company’s plans.

The $5.1 billion resort was scheduled to open in the Spring of next year. Work on the project briefly shut down after the fighting began but resumed shortly thereafter in March. The presence of attack drones and missiles in the region has caused work disruptions and a slump in tourism.
