MGM Resorts International said it will delay the opening of its Cotai casino scheduled for next week as it awaits final government approval.
The $3.45 billion casino will be opened sometime in February, MGM said in statement to the Hong Kong exchange. The 1,400-room hotel and casino was scheduled to open Jan. 29.
“The company is undergoing the administrative approval process of obtaining relevant licenses to operate MGM Cotai. As a result, it is now expected that the public opening date of MGM Cotai will be within the month of February 2018,” the statement said.
Chinese New Year, a time when many of the nation’s citizens head to Macau, officially begins on Feb. 16 and ends March 2.
