It is located near the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and approximately 10 miles ( 16 km ) from Washington, D.C. History Construction of MGM National Harbor in March 2015 MGM Resorts International received a license in December 2013 to develop a US $925 million resort ( later increased to US $1.2 billion ) in National Harbor. 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. Construction on MGM National Harbor began in April 2014, and opened on December 8, 2016. Design The white exterior of the building is in keeping with the marble used in many of the buildings in Washington DC. The organization of the casino is along a central axis, similar to the arrangement for the National Mall. The design was provided by HKS, Inc. while the architect of record for the project is SmithGroupJJR. Legal actions and MBE Participation In April 2015, the MGM casino was sued by a group of Prince George 's County businesses who claimed the casino did n't comply with minority - business contracting standards. However, in its compliance report in accordance with its Community Benefits Agreement with Prince George 's County, verified by a third party monitor, MGM reported exceeding minority business ( MBE ) requirements ( 30 % MBE and 12 % County - based MBE minimum requirements ) and local hiring goals ( 20 % minimum ) during the 3 - year construction phase of the casino, spending 40 % or $367,907,202.64 of its construction value with certified MBEs ( including 17 % of construction value or $158,453,385.85 with County - based MBEs ) and hiring County residents for 1,097,878 hours or 27 % of the over 4 million in total construction work hours on the project, receiving significant praise from Prince George 's County Council Member and former Council Chairman, Mel Franklin.
