MGM’s National Harbor Resort Attracting Visitors from Near and Far

Visitors from around the world are enjoying the stunning panoramic views of the Potomac River at MGM Resort International’s National Harbor casino-hotel complex - a luxury resort, retail, dining, entertainment and gaming experience on the waterfront and only minutes from Washington DC.

MGM Resorts International, a Platinum partner of Brand USA, opened the $1.4 billion LEED® Gold Certified resort in December to rave reviews.  The 24-story, 308-room resort features premier amenities including a 125,000-square foot dynamic casino featuring slots, table games and poker; a world-class spa and salon; an entertainment theater with flexible seating for up to 3,000; high-end branded retail; 50,000 square feet of meeting space; and restaurants with renowned local, national, and international chefs.

The MGM-Brand USA partnership, which began in 2013, has had major impact in increasing international visitors from the United Kingdom, Canada, Korea, Mexico, Japan, Germany, and Australia. Brand USA will continue to work with MGM to drive incremental visitation and spend from international consumers interested in visiting MGM Resorts International properties at destinations throughout the United States, including the MGM National Harbor.

MGM Resorts International is one of the world's leading global hospitality companies, operating a portfolio of destination resort brands including the Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, and The Mirage. The company also owns 51 percent of MGM China Holdings Limited, which owns the MGM Macau resort and casino and is in the process of developing a gaming resort in Cotai.  It also owns 50 percent of CityCenter in Las Vegas, a 76-acre mixed-use urban complex that features the luxurious Aria Resort and Casino.
