MGM National Harbor Announces Reopening Date, Hours, Mask Policy

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD — MGM National Harbor is reopening its doors. The casino announced Tuesday that it would reopen at 6 a.m. on June 29 with precautionary measures in place. Maryland Live! Casino and Hotel in Hanover also plans to open that day.

MGM's reopening plan includes limited hours and social distancing measures. Retailers on site will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. The business center will be open Mondays through Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. Some of MGM's restaurants will have limited hours. Customers can check the hours of each restaurant here.

All staff will be required to wear masks. Employees will have their temperatures checked and symptoms screened before each shift. MGM will "strongly encourage" guests to wear masks in public areas. The casino will offer a free mask to anybody who needs one, however.

Floor guides will help guests follow social distancing measures. The casino will install plexiglass barriers where close interactions are common.

Guests can now check in without the help of concierge. A mobile app will allow visitors to confirm ID, pay and use a digital room key. In-person check-in will still be available.
