A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
National Harbor, Maryland, is only about 10 miles south of Washington, DC, but it feels like a world away. This glitzy, buzzy enclave on the Potomac River is bursting with hotels, restaurants, and shops, not to mention a giant Ferris wheel and a casino. A popular accommodation choice for visitors and a top staycation spot for locals, it’s practically the Mid-Atlantic’s Vegas – with plenty of family-friendly fun thrown in.
MGM National Harbor, a subsidiary of MGM Resorts International, opened a 1.4 billion dollar Las Vegas-style casino in National Harbor just south of Washington DC on December 8, 2016. The resort casino is situated in Prince George’s County, Maryland, along the scenic Potomac River. The Theater at MGM National Harbor showcases live performances from an impressive lineup of entertainers including Bruno Mars, Boyz II Men, Cher, Duran Duran, Lionel Richie, Ricky Martin, Sting, and Earth Wind & Fire. The casino is not just for those interested in gaming; it also offers comfortable accommodations, exceptional dining experiences, and entertainment, making it an ideal destination for a wide range of visitors.
