MGM National Harbor has been an unqualified success in the Maryland casino market. The closest casino to Washington D.C.—you can see the monuments from the deck of the hotel’s podium—National Harbor quickly took the top spot in the revenue race. Bill Boasberg, the general manager of MGM National Harbor, explains that is involved more than “build it and they will come.” The company had to understand the market and respond to its demands quickly after opening or all would be lost. He talks about demographics of the property and the challenges that had to be overcome. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at the National Harbor property on the shores of the Potomac River in June.
