History[edit]

Masters of illusion casino windsor. MGM Resorts International received a license in December 2013 to develop a US$925 million resort (later increased to US$1.2 billion^[3][4]) in National Harbor.^[2][4] 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.^[4]

Construction on MGM National Harbor began in April 2014, and opened on December 8, 2016.^[1][3]

MBE participation[edit]

In April 2015, the MGM casino was sued by a group of Prince George’s County businesses^[5] who claimed the casino didn't comply with minority business enterprise (MBE) contracting standards.^[6][7]

Child electrocution[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 was electrocuted and left wheelchair bound for the rest of her life. Despite the family's pleas for help, MGM security did nothing immediately after she was injured. When Prince George's County Police Officers arrived they started the resuscitation. The incident prompted an FBI investigation and the family has not been compensated more than a year after the incident. ^[8]

In 2019, a baccarat dealer who worked at the casino was sentenced to 18 months in prison for a cheating scheme. Ming Zhang showed his co-conspirators cards before they were dealt, who split the winnings with him. ^[9]
