(Abu Dhabi).- Wynn Resorts announced yesterday that it has restarted construction on its integrated resort in the United Arab Emirates after a brief pause, despite ongoing disruptions to businesses in the Middle East caused by the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran.
Wynn Resorts said on Wednesday it has resumed construction on an integrated resort in the United Arab Emirates following a short pause, even as the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran continues to disrupt businesses in the Middle East.
The Las Vegas-based casino operator said it has taken steps to ensure the safety and security of all employees working on site.
"Wynn employees have been offered the opportunity to work from abroad if their home embassy recommends they do so," the company said.
Besides severely disrupting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the conflict has also forced the closure of airspace in the UAE and disrupted flight operations at two of the world's busiest international hubs - the Dubai International Airport and Abu Dhabi's Zayed International Airport.
The casino operator, which won the UAE's first commercial gaming operator's license in 2024, is building the luxury resort at Wynn Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah.
Last month, Wynn said it expected the resort to open in the first quarter of 2027.
