Officials from Wynn Resorts and MGM Resorts International have been closely watching the conflict unfolding in the Middle East after it spilled over into the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where the Las Vegas-based companies are developing multibillion-dollar hotel and entertainment projects.
The UAE is one of 14 Middle Eastern nations where the U.S. State Department urged Americans to depart immediately via commercial transportation “due to severe, escalating safety risks” following the weekend’s joint airstrikes on Iran by the U.S. and Israel.
After Saturday’s attacks, Iranian forces launched a barrage of drones and missiles throughout the Middle East, two of which struck areas in Dubai, causing damage at several hotels and Dubai International Airport.
