  • Thoughtfully curated art program integrated throughout the resort featuring more than 70 local and national artists including Alice Aycock and John Safer, in addition to a sculpted iron archway designed by legendary folk artist Bob Dylan – his first permanent display of public art
  • The Conservatory at MGM National Harbor – a spectacular 15,000-square-foot floral attraction created by acclaimed designer Ed Libby that changes seasonally. The first exhibit, "Holiday Reflections," features more than 150,000 flowers
  • Two original nightlife concepts from Clique Hospitality, pioneers of the Vegas nightlife scene, introducing the region's first tableside mixology program
  • Two-level 27,000-square-foot Spa & Salon with 11 treatment rooms, a full service salon, rustic barber shop, couples' suites, hydrotherapy, a Vichy room, an exclusive wellness program by Clarins and more
  • An eclectic retail district with multiple offerings ranging from Fink's Jewelers, Stitched and Ella Rue to the first standalone boutique for SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker
  • Boutique hotel with 308 well-appointed rooms, including 74 suites ranging in size from 400 to 3,210 square feet and featuring floor-to-ceiling windows with magnificent views of the surrounding region
  • A 125,000-square-foot casino featuring an Asian gaming pit with 16 Macau-style Baccarat tables; more than 3,300 premium slot machines, including many first-to-market technology products; 126 table games; 39-table poker room; a luxury high-limit gaming room; and semi-private salons

"This level of private investment is unprecedented in the region, and so is what we've built," said Jim Murren, Chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International. "MGM Resorts has long promoted global trade and travel – and MGM National Harbor will be a significant driver of both, strengthening Washington, D.C. as a tourist magnet."

Lorenzo Creighton, President of MGM National Harbor said, "MGM Resorts is bringing the same high standards for hospitality, service and quality to Maryland that we are recognized for in our hotels in Las Vegas and around the world. Furthermore, the resort's proximity to the nation's capital provides us with a rich, diverse community that has enabled us to build a dynamic workforce that reflects our commitment to inclusion." 

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, Senate President Mike Miller and Prince George's County Executive Rushern L. Baker, III will commemorate the opening with Jim Murren and Lorenzo Creighton, among others, at a press conference this morning at 11 a.m. celebrating the 4,000 full-time jobs the resort brings to the area. The resort's parking garage will open at 10:30 p.m., and the property will begin to welcome guests at 11 p.m.

Room reservations can be made for December 10 and beyond via mgmnationalharbor.com or (844) 646-6847. Nightly room rates start at $299 and suite rates begin at $399.
