The MGM National Harbor is a US$1.4 billion resort in the Oxon Hillcensus-designated place (CDP) in unincorporated Prince George's County, Maryland.^[1] The resort opened on December 8, 2016,^[2] and is owned by MGM Growth Properties and operated by MGM Resorts International.^[3]^[4]^[5]

History[edit]

MGM Resorts International received a license in December 2013 to develop a US$925 million resort (later increased to US$1.2 billion^[4]^[5]) in National Harbor.^[3]^[5] The company received the license after competing with bids from Penn National Gaming to develop a US$700 million facility at its Rosecroft Raceway and Greenwood Racing to develop a US$761 million facility near Maryland Route 210.^[5]

MBE participation[edit]

In April 2015, the MGM casino was sued by a group of Prince George’s County businesses^[6] who claimed the casino didn't comply with minority business enterprise (MBE) contracting standards.^[7]^[8]

Child electric shock[edit]

On June 26, 2018 a seven-year-old girl suffered traumatic brain injury while visiting the casino. Due to a faulty installation of a device meant to control the electrical flow to the rail lighting, Zynae Green suffered an electric shock and was left wheelchair bound. Despite the family's pleas for help, MGM security did not initiate resuscitation, MGM stating 'the guards followed protocol responding to the incident and determined that Zynae was breathing and did not need CPR'. Prince George's County Police Officers started resuscitation upon arrival. The incident prompted an FBI investigation and the family has not been compensated more than a year after the incident.^[9]
