Still has to be passed in both the House and Senate, but it will be interesting to see where this goes. National Harbor, while it looks amazing, is VERY underwhelming, IMO.
MGM strikes agreement to build a casino at National Harbor (MD)...5 min outside of DC.

why does the one at arundel mills only have slots and digital games?
If this one gets live table games, people would flock like crazy since the nearest ones are out in WVA (i think?).

Funny I still have yet to set foot around the Harbor. Maybe because there isn't much free parking from what I hear. I don't know, I just have never had any urge to go around there.

Inner Harbor > National Harbor
In fairness, NH is only 3-4 years old. There is a ton of land that can be developed over there, but I think there is much more to do around Baltimore's Inner Harbor as far as restaurants, museums, bars, etc than around National Harbor. Plus, you can find EASY street parking. NH, you're coming outta pocket $12 before you unlock your doors to get out

Swag.
Especially considering my old man's company has the exclusive rights to build and manage the first residential property in the Harbor.

They aren't even done with National Harbor. It's far from being what they originally planned for it to be.

Can't wait till they're done. It's gonna blow arundel mills away. But yea the harbor is expensive for no reason, that's one of the reasons I hate going. It's priced in 2025 not 2012 lol.

Hope this doesn't affect your soccer team from getting a stadium done. Been damn near impossible for them but I read that harbor offered some hope.

At least we're getting tables if this gets approved. We don't need anymore of those adult styled arcade casinos around here. Lower taxes is a big plus as well

Similar situations here in MA, but the proposals are being shot down by the general public.

I'm guessing they could/would run an extension of the green line from Branch Avenue to there, it would have to be above ground though. Either way, I still wouldn't want a metro over there. If some folks cant get there as is then they just can't get there.

Was so excited when I heard about Arundel Mills casino just to find out they had only slots and no tables

I would want one too since parking is already high it's like a flat rate of $11 after 6 or 7pm (is that just weekends?)so I can assume it'll only get higher. I just can't see a metro close to that area espcially after all the new construction that went on not too long ago. I just remembered they're also gonna build all those outlets over there suppose to be like 85 stores.

i think national harbor is going to be really nice once it's all done. at this point, i don't know if a casino would be a good thing or not considering i live less than 10 minutes away and could just up and gamble all my money away anytime i wanted.

Why?? Are taxpayers being asked to pay the bill??
Bob Kraft and Steve Wynn essentially came to an agreement to build a casino on land owned by Kraft in Foxboro. Town's people voted out pro casino selectman, replacing them with anti casino reps, basically killing the deal between Wynn and Kraft. Basically came down to the townspeople simply not wanting a casino in their area, even with promises of jobs, tax revenues, etc.
