A state commission voted 5-2 in favor of MGM’s bid Friday in Baltimore.
MGM proposed building a $925 million resort near the Potomac River at National Harbor with a 300-suite hotel, casino and seven restaurants. The casino plan includes 3,600 slot machines and 140 table games like blackjack and roulette.
