\"\"The $3 billion MGM Cotai casino resort in Macau<\/a> was scheduled to open on January 29, 2018. Chief Executive Officer of MGM China Grant Bowie<\/strong> announced this week that MGM Cotai will not open in Jan as the company was still in the process of carrying out some technical checks. The opening has been pushed back for two weeks and an official date will be confirmed shortly.<\/p>\n

However MGM Cotai will still have a soft launch on Jan 29 but all of the facilities will not be open to the public. A grand opening will take place in the month of February and all facilities are expected to be up and running at this point of time. This is not the first time that MGM Cotai has had to push back its opening date<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The original opening was set for the fourth quarter of 2017 but that had to be pushed back after Macau was hit Typhoon Hato in August 2017<\/a> and caused immense destruction to the peninsula. <\/p>\n

MGM Cotai did incur some damage due to Typhoon Hato<\/strong> and construction work was hampered for some time. The casino resort also suffered a fire in September 2017 and once again construction work was impacted.<\/p>\n
