MGM Resorts International is planning to build a hotel-casino at Maryland’s National Harbor development on the shores of the Potomac River.
MGM reached an agreement with National Harbor developer Peterson Cos. to build a luxury hotel-casino with 250 table games and about 4,000 slot machines.
MGM didn’t say how many rooms the hotel would have or when it would be built. The project is contingent upon Maryland state approval.
National Harbor is across the Potomac River from Alexandria, Va., and includes the Gaylord National convention hotel, a Wyndham Vacation Resorts timeshare property, plus Aloft, Westin, Residence Inn and Hampton Inn hotels.
National Harbor is about 10 miles south of Washington, D.C.
