NASSAU–Officials say the opening of a roughly US$3.5 billion hotel-and-casino project in the Bahamas has been delayed due to incomplete work by the lead contractor.Some hotels attached to the sprawling Baha Mar gambling resort development in the islands' capital of Nassau were due to open Friday. But Baha Mar says this week's "paced opening" has been delayed because the contractor "has not completed the work with an attention to detail" consistent with its standards.
The company says it expects to celebrate its grand opening during the first week in May.The megaresort touted as the most expensive project ever in the Bahamas is expected to be a roughly 1,000-acre (405-hectare) complex with hotels, some 40 restaurants and clubs, a golf course and what's billed as the Caribbean's biggest casino.
