Construction of MGM National Harbor in March 2015

MGM Resorts International received a license in December 2013 to develop a US$925 million resort[2] (later increased to US$1.2 billion[3][4]) in National Harbor.[1][4] The company received the license after competing with bids from Penn National Gaming to develop a US$700 million facility at its Rosecroft Raceway and Greenwood Racing to develop a US$761 million facility near Maryland Route 210.[4]

Construction on MGM National Harbor began in April 2014, and is scheduled to be completed in summer or late 2016.[2][3]

Features

Once completed, MGM National Harbor will include 23-story hotel with 308 rooms, 135,000 square feet (12,500 m2) in gaming space, retail space, a spa, seven restaurants, a 3,000-seat theater, 27,000 square feet (2,500 m2) of meeting and event space, and a parking garage for 4,800 cars.[1][2][3]

The resort's public spaces will feature a permanent collection of art inspired by the Washington metropolitan area and developed in collaboration with Prince George's County Arts and Humanities Council, Atlantic Arts, and RareCulture.[5][6] Artists, sculptors, and photographers featured in the collection include Alice Aycock, Charles Hinman, Chul Hyun Ahn, John Safer, Liao Yibai, Margaret Boozer, Martha Jackson Jarvis, Sam Gilliam, and Terry O'Neill.[5][6]
