|
The highly-anticipated MGM National Harbor casino will open Dec. 8, the casino operator announced Monday. The $1.4 billion casino will be the sixth in the state of Maryland.
MGM says that the casino will be “the first luxury gaming resort experience” in the region around the nation’s capital. The property is next door to Washington D.C. on the banks of the Potomac River. The casino will have more than 125,000 square feet of gaming floor space, which includes a poker room, table games and more than 3,300 slots.
The casino should add to the state’s roughly $3-million-a-month poker market, as well as the overall casino gambling market worth about $100 million a month.
“After years of planning, designing and developing, we are thrilled that the moment is almost upon us to share this very special resort with the community and visitors from around the world,” Lorenzo Creighton, president of MGM National Harbor, said in a statement. “We are grateful to Prince George’s County, the state of Maryland and all of the local designers, artisans and businesses that have collaborated with us to deliver this international resort with very local roots.”
Construction on the casino began in May 2014.
