The Maryland
Video Lottery Facility Location Commission awarded a license to
MGM Resorts International to build a $925 million gaming facility right outside of Washington, D.C.
The facility will be located at National Harbor, a hotel,
convention and entertainment venue that's less than 10 miles rom the
U.S. Capitol.
Two other bidders sought the license but MGM won out after a series of public hearings.
The company is also in the final stages of a commercial casino proposal in Massachusetts.
