MGM secures $525M in financing for National Harbor project in Maryland

MGM Resorts International said Monday it secured $525 million in financing that will be used to complete the $1.3 billion MGM National Harbor development in Maryland.

The company said in statement, the 308-room hotel-casino near the Potomac River with near Washington, D.C., will open at the end of this year.

The company recently topped-off the property's 24-story hotel tower.

Union Gaming Group analyst Chris Jones told investors the loan was a good sign for the development.

"We continue to believe MGM National Harbor will be one of the most profitable regional casinos in the U.S.," Jones said.
