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.

The Potomac Poker Open is back at MGM National Harbor for the summer of 2019. The third annual running of this popular poker tournament series is set to take place at the 46-table MGM National Harbor Poker Room from July 25 – August 5. In addition, they will be adding 40 tables in the MGM Grand Ballroom. There are 15 events on the schedule, with more than $1.5 million in guaranteed prize pools up for grabs over the 12 days of top-flight poker action.
“We are happy to be hosting this series for a third consecutive year, showcasing our new poker room which was built in 2018,” said Johnny Grooms, Director of Poker MGM National Harbor. “We look forward to showcasing the MGM product and the MGM level of service to players, and not only those from the DMV, that is the D.C., Maryland and Virginia area, but also players who will join us from around the country.”
