MGM National Harbor, the top-grossing casino in the United States outside of Las Vegas, is making room for its growing traffic indoors and out.
The Prince George’s County resort recently unveiled an expanded outdoor gaming patio and larger indoor casino floor, adding roughly 8,000 square feet between the two projects.
“It was always an option,” Alex Alvarado, MGM National Harbor’s vice president of casino operations, said of the expansion. “We’ve had spaces we could program in different ways. We took the approach post-quarantine really that we wanted to have a much more comfortable layout on the casino floor.”
The outdoor patio was roughly doubled in size due to demand, Alvarado said. The open-air space, where smoking is allowed, features overhead coverings, fans and heaters.
