For residents of the DMV the arrival of the newest casino MGM Casino at National Harbor, MD can’t come soon enough. Although there are many residents who were against the proposed casino, there are many who welcome the prospect of what is soon to be one of the east coasts most expansive and must see resorts. Just days after we showed you HERE the amazing new Ferris Wheel coming to the Harbor now comes more details of the developments according to Washington Post:

MGM’s plans call for a dramatic gambling resort on 23 acres overlooking the Potomac River, near the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, with an 18-story, 300-suite hotel that will tower over the District.

The soaring casino, from the same company that owns Bellagio, MGM Grand and many other high-end, high-wattage gambling resorts, has the potential to change not only the region’s skyline, but also the calculus for where tourists stay, where business groups hold conventions and where Washington lobbyists entertain.

The property, slated to open in mid-2016, will be within easy Uber range of official Washington: less than 10 miles from the U.S. Capitol and 11 from the White House. It will feature 3,600 slot machines, 140 gaming tables, a concert theater, several celebrity-chef-driven restaurants, a spa, luxury retail stores, a reflecting pool and other amenities.

I personally was just there yesterday and at the moment there is only dirt and signage revealing that the five star destination is soon to come, but that is all set to change. Now comes stunning video and photo of what the actual site and casino will look like! Peep the exclusive photos and video of the site and casino below.
