Wynn Resorts Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Craig Billings said the company now expects a “modest delay” in the opening date of a new casino resort it’s building in the United Arab Emirates.

The project was earlier identified as opening in the first quarter of next year or in the spring. Wynn is no longer offering an opening date, or updating any financial estimates for the resort.
