SINGAPORE (Dow Jones)–Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) is on track to open its Singapore casino resort at Marina Bay at the end of March, but is facing some delays due to rains, Chairman Sheldon Adelson said Monday.

“We look pretty good in several segments…if we are a little late it will a be couple of weeks…not months,” Adelson said in an interview to CNBC news channel.

Las Vegas Sands is building a US$5 billion resort-casino complex in Singapore and the project has been dubbed as essential for Las Vegas Sands, as Asia continues to recover from the recession faster than other regions.
