Amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, US-based gaming giant Wynn Resorts has given employees in the United Arab Emirates the option to work \u201cremotely from abroad if their home embassy has advised them to leave the country\u201d. <\/p>\n

With hostilities escalating between US-Israeli forces and Iran, the US State Department has urged Americans to leave \u201cdue to severe, escalating safety risks\u201d. In a Tuesday post on X<\/a>, Americans were advised to \u201cDEPART NOW\u201d from 14 Middle East countries and territories, including the UAE. But with limits on air travel, citizens are growing increasingly frustrated, and in many cases, frightened.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey say \u2018Get out\u2019. But how do you expect us to get out when airspaces are closed?\u201d Dallas resident Odies Turner, now in Qatar, told the Associated Press<\/a>. \u201cThey just have been cancelling every flight. I want to go home.\u201d<\/p>\n

On tuesday, the us state department warned americans to leave the middle east for their own protection. airport closures and flight cancellations have thwarted many escape plans.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The conflict erupted on 28 February, when US and Israeli forces attacked Iran to \u201cdismantle the regime\u2019s security\u00a0apparatus\u201d. Iran retaliated with strikes across the region, including the UAE. Missiles and drones have damaged major airports, including Dubai International. On Tuesday, the US closed its embassies in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Lebanon, and ordered diplomats to evacuate.<\/p>\n

War could risk regional stability, industry<\/h2>\n

The tensions could undermine the Gulf region\u2019s reputation for stability and safety. According to Time Magazine<\/a>, that perception \u201chelped it cultivate investment, draw in expatriates and attract tourism from around the world\u201d.<\/p>\n

Analysts have suggested that the US$5.1 billion Wynn Al Marjan Island<\/a>, set to open next March, could double tourism to Ras Al Khaimah. As a gaming destination, it is expected to rival Singapore and Macau.<\/p>\n

A season of war could change all that, and Iran has threatened \u201ceverlasting\u201d consequences for its opponents\u2019 \u201cstrategic error\u201d. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Wynn says it has \u201cplans in place to secure the safety of our employees should the situation necessitate\u201d. Given restrictions on air travel, the operator offered a \u201cvariety of additional housing options to help employees and their families feel more secure and comfortable. For the safety and security of our employees, we will not publicly disclose their housing or any travel arrangements\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
