The Hong Kong-based company plans to spend $US550 million on the 400-room project on Saipan which was to be finished by August.
It cited the impact of Typhoon Soudelor, difficulty in shipping materials to Saipan, and dearth of workers as reasons for the delay.
The company has also received an extension on its operation of Best Sunshine Live, a temporary casino training facility.
